Character Factoids

• Byron prefers male sexual partners but will not refuse a female one. (ID)(TH)
• Byron knew Jean-Claude from their days in London, and implies that they were lovers. (ID)
• Byron was turned when he was fifteen. (TH) He is one of the weakest vampires that came form London to join Jean-Claude's kiss.(ID) Byron is not a master, nor will he ever be. (DM)
• He addresses people as 'luv,' 'duckie,' or some other nickname unless the situation is dire. (ID)
• While on stage at Guilty Pleasures, he was heckled by some college students, which precipitated the fight with Primo.
• While taking Anita backstage for some first aid after the fight with Primo, he got to take 'one for the team' when Anita had to feed the ardeur. He and Requiem achieved 6-8 orgasms, and might have had more if Requiem could have continued feeding on Anita's blood. The poor thing was quite worn out, and couldn't stand up for quite a while. He was happy to feed the ardeur, but was not willing to feed any of the possible other hungers.(ID)
• Byron offered to teach Anita about topping Nathaniel. He is distressed about how Anita has been neglecting Nathaniel's needs, and demonstrates the leopard's degree of deprivation by pulling his hair, which arouses Nathaniel to an extraordinary degree. This isn't completely out of the goodness of his heart: he'd also like to get into bed with both Anita and Nathaniel. (TH)
• Byron likes to be dominated sometimes. He describes himself as 'a switch, in every sense of the word.' He will take either the sub or the dom role, a male or a female partner. (TH)
• He uses a small amount of mind control when dancing, enough to keep the women from hurting him or groping him excessively. He is very popular with the customers. (TH)
• Byron is sufficiently well educated to recognize the source of some of Requiem's quotes, and will deliberately tease and bait him by quoting back at him.(TH)
• He has experienced the Harlequin before, when they visited his master in England. The London kiss was almost completely of Belle Morte's line, and when their gifts were turned against them, the result was mass sex. This included Byron and Requiem having sex, which Requiem still finds disturbing.(TH)
