Crispin Russell

Crispin Phillip Arthur Russell III, often known as Bones, is a vampire and the husband of Cat Crawfield.

Early life
Crispin Russell was born in London to the whore Penelope. Because she had a good relationship with the bordello owner Lucille, Crispin was permitted to stay there, doing house chores at first and then begging and stealing as he grew older. When he was seventeen, his mother died of syphilis and for economic reasons, the Lucille offered him a choice to stay and sell himself to or be turned out. Crispin choose to stay, as Lucille mentioned that some highborn women had been interested in him. For the next few years, he worked at the bordello, becoming quite popular among the blue blood women. When Crispin was caught and sentenced to hang for picking pockets, his client Annette interfered and convinced the judge to send him to the new penal colonies in New South Wales instead.

Vampire transformation
On the ship to Australia, Crispin befriended Baron Charles DeMortimer, Ian, and Timothy. Soon after arriving, Ian escaped. He returned a year later, now changed into a vampire, and freed Crispin, Charles, and Timothy, offering to change them into vampires. Only Timothy accepted the offer, but Ian had Crispin and Charles changed anyway, thinking that they would thank him later for it. When Crispin first woke after his transformation into a vampire, he was in a graveyard with bones all around him, from which he got his vampire name Bones. They stayed with the Aboriginal people for a few years and returned to England two decades later. Upon his return to England, Bones sought out the people who had once shown him kindness and offered them the choice to change into a vampire. Annette was among them. Bones eventually took up a profession as a vampire bounty hunter. Hunting and shagging became his two favorite pastimes.

Meeting Cat Crawfield
While on a case to gather information about the white slave ring run by the vampire Hennessey, Bones met Cat Crawfield, a young half-vampire who killed vampire as a hobby in revenge for her mother, who was deceived by one. Bones was attracted to her, and because he feared for her safety, he coerced her into being trained by him and to help him in his cases by playing bait for his victims. During this time, he also put much effort into helping her see that not all vampires are creatures of evil to be despised. The two went on several successful missions together and eventually fell in love. Immediately after defeating Hennessey, Cat was blackmailed into cutting off her relationship with Bones and joining the FBI as a vampire hunter. Fearing for his life, Cat agreed and abruptly left Bones.

Reunification with Cat
Shocked and devestated, Bones spent much of the next few years searching for Cat so that they could at least talk and bring things to a final conclusion if she was determined to leave. He finally tracked her down in Virginia and surprised her when they were coincidentally both part of the bridal party at a wedding. She was very upset to see him, and even more so when she caught him kissing another of the bridesmaids, so she went out to a local club to hunt vampires. Bones joined her, aiding her in killing the ones present and bringing her back to his residence when she was unconscious. After she awoke, he persuaded her that their relationship was not incompatible. Overjoyed at the new revelation, she agreed to continue their relationship. He even managed to persuade her supervisor Don to allow him to work with her on her missions.
