====== Bert Maguire ======


**Character type:** Journeyman Vampire

**Age:** 28 years undead

**Appearance:** Bert is fairly tall for a Victorian- about 5 ft 10, and a slightly stocky 160 pounds. He has dark hair and a 'trustworthy' face, which stand him in good stead in his duties. Prior to being vamped, Bert was in the British Army, and served time in India, where he picked up knowledge of the building of tiger traps, a knack for handling firearms and gambling, and a fondness for curries, as well as learning a smattering of Hindi. Bert carries an Army-issue revolver loaded with silver bullets, a 'pig-sticker' with a six-inch blade, and an Army issue knife-and-brass knuckles combo, as well as a stake, a packet of cigarettes and matches on his person at all times.
