Jonathan E. Reid

Jonathan Emmet Reid is the protagonist of Vampyr. The once high-ranking military surgeon and renowned blood specialist returns home to London after his First World War duty in France. London meanwhile is fighting a different war against the Spanish Flu epidemic, which holds the city in a deadly grip. On his travel home to his sister Mary and his mother, Jonathan is attacked and turned into a Vampire. Soon he finds himself caught in the dilemma of his new existence and his occupation as a physician.
 * Jonathan must very closely study his victims because every death has its consequences, which will influence the life and story around him.
 * Players will be able to finish the game without taking blood of civilians, although then they won't be able to level up their character as much or learn as much new abilities. The game also will get significantly harder to play.

= Biography = Born in London, Jonathan, along with his sister Mary, were raised in the West End. All was well until their father disappeared, for unknown reasons, when Jonathan was starting his pursuit of becoming a doctor, leaving the rest of the family distraught for a time. Before enlisting to part-take in the Great War, Jonathan Reid was already a renowned doctor and a skilled surgeon. During the war, Reid continued on his pursuit of perfecting his work and research on blood transfusions, while still saving lives on the front lines in the process. Although he loves his family deeply, his career had created a void in the relationship when the need for strangers outshine the need of those closest to him.
