History[edit]
Toby Abernathy was recruited by MI5 staight out of Oxford, afer scoring a Double First in Modern Languages. He spent most of the following decade analysing traffic on the intersection between the Russian security services and organised crime, from the safety of a desk in Thames House. Until he crossed the vampires. He killed the possessed colleague who tried to stab him in the break room, and went on the run. The Lancaster Gardening Society had the full story, and retrieved him. Since then, he's been working with them while still in hiding. He's become obsessed with concealment and preparedness, always fearing another sneak attack from someone the vampires have turned. Favourite weapon is a Gladiator .410 E1 double-barreled shotgun pistol - because it's concealable and can fire vampire-deterrent rounds.
