Willem Scantlebury.
Scantlebury dates to the late 18th century, when he was a slave laborer living in Barbados.
After saving the life of another worker, a British landowner took note of Scantlebury’s quick reactions and obvious intelligence. The Brit purchased Scantlebury, with the intent of taking him back to London as a personal assistant.
On the long boat trip across the Atlantic, the ship was boarded by a starving group of vampires. The carnage was furious and brief. However, the lead vampire, Delphine, saw the same qualities in Scantlebury that the landowner had. Everyone on the ship was consumed except Scantlebury–Delphine took him for herself, and he became a personal assistant after all…
