Padma

"Jean-Claude, Master of the City, greetings. Your hospitality has been beyond my wildest expectations." He laughed then, but it was just a laugh. Theatrical and annoying, even sinister, but it didn't make my skin jump.

Commentary * Padma is part of the vampire council, come to determine what is to be done with Jean-Claude and Anita since they killed Oliver.

* Padma has one son, Fernando, who happens to be a lycanthrope.

* He is part of a triumvirate. His other two are Gideon, who is a weretiger, and Thomas who is his human servant. However, they are not as powerful as Anita, Jean-Claude and Richard.
