Vampire of the Week is a semi-weekly feature on my blog. For more information, go here.
And this week's Vampire of the Week is. . .
HENRY FITZROY
Henry Fitzroy is one of the main characters in the Canadian television series Blood Ties, based on the "Blood Books" by Tanya Huff.
Based on the historical character Henry Fitzroy, 1st Duke of Richmond ans Somerset - the bastard son of Henry VIII of England, Henry Fitzroy chose love over familial duty and sacrificed his mortal life to remain forever with the woman he loved; Christina. Vampiric circumstances, however, prevented him from remaining with her and now, after 450 years of existence, he is living in Toronto as a graphic novelist.
His quiet, hidden life takes on a new twist when he collides with Vicki Nelson in an attempt to stop a man from bringing a demon into the mortal world. As they work to solve this case, and subsequently other supernatural problems, Henry grows deeply attracted to Vicki's willful nature and exuberance for life, eventually falling for her. Though she seems to resist his advances, he continues to pursue her and, mostly due to his centuries of experience and knowledge of both sides of the supernatural, he becomes Vicki's partner and bodyguard.

Cool, as soon as I saw the name I was like...oh is that a reference to Henry VII's son. I love that sort of thing. Ive never seen the show though.
Never heard of this vampire before, but he's kinda cute. I'm thinking I wanna check out this show. . .
Girls! You totally should watch this show, more info about it tomorrow!
I ADORE this show. Haven't read the books yet, but I've got them on my e-reader. I was so sad when they canceled Blood Ties! But I'm glad you brought it up! :)
I've never heard of him before, but I've heard a lot about the show being great :)
Hello Ya (and others),
Great to see that you've featured one of the most beloved and favored vampires to date, Henry Fitzroy.
It seems that Henry has been getting quite a lot of attention and mentions these days... from just last Monday, as one of VampChix's VampBoyz of the week, to author Nicole Hadaways' piece on why she loves Henry Fitzroy, to the very top of the year when Kyle Schmid, the actor who embodies Henry, won the Sexiest man in the vampire realm (beating out Robert Pattinson fangs down),re: http://www.examiner.com/x-20555-Memphis-Vampire-Examiner%7Ey2010m1d1-There-is-a-new-vampire-in-town-and-Henry-is-his-name
