Henry Fitzroy is a nearly 500-year-old vampire from the 16th century and meets Vicky for the first time on a criminal hunt together. After Vicki has lost her fear and reservations about Henry, they are now investigating as a team for earthly and supernatural creatures. Her ex-partner Mike Celluci also plays an important role.
