Calvin Barnabas Rupert

I said a silent apology for what I had to do, then spread the corpse's legs apart. The legs moved easily, no rigor. I was betting that he hadn't been dead eight hours, not enough time for rigor mortis to set in. Semen had dried on his shriveled privates. One last joy before dying.

(Circus of the Damned, page 9, paragraph 4)

* Calvin was the first victim of the vampire pack led by Alejandro.

* His wife's name is Denise Smyth Rupert.

* He preferred to be called Cal.

* When alive, he was a member of HAV and had a dying will that stipulated he was to be staked if he was bitten by a vampire. Unfortunately, Anita did not think he was going to come back from the dead because he was bitten by multiple vampires. However, since one of them was a master vampire, he came back as an animalistic vampire and went on a killing spree until Anita killed him.

* In the same manner, fellow HAV member Reba Baker was also killed, multiple bite wounds. She too had a dying will, made by the same lawyer.
