Jonathan Emmit Reid

Name: Jonathan Emmit Reid text: Jonathan Emmit Reid, also known as Jonny or Jon, is a 32-year-old openly bisexual ekon from London, England.

He speaks fluent French and has a pale complexion, sharp features, icy blue eyes, short slicked-back black hair, and a well-kept beard. Standing just over 6 feet tall, he has a slim yet strong and stoic build. He typically dresses in an expensive, light gray, three-piece suit, complemented by a dark red tie and a dark blue overcoat with brown trimming. But he can also be seen in a blue striped shirt and brown slacks.

Jonathan has a complex personality, often coming across as intimidating, smug, calculating, and sarcastic. However, he also possesses charm, sympathy, politeness, formality, and friendliness. Not only is he highly intelligent and is the world’s leading specialist in blood transfusions, but he is also a war veteran who served as a combat medic and surgeon on the front lines in France from July 28, 1914 – November 11, 1918.

Jonathan and his sister Mary, who he shared a close bond with despite his tendency to be the center of attention, were born and raised in London’s West End district. He is fiercely protective of his family, particularly his mother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, often prioritizing their needs over his own. The disappearance of his father on Jonathan’s 10th birthday created a rift within the family, which was further exacerbated when he pursued a career in medicine and later left for the war. The reasons behind his father’s departure remain unknown.

Shortly after returning to London in 1918, while on his way home to his mother and sister, he was attacked by an unknown creature and killed. A week later he woke up as an ekon inside of the mass grave in London's Southwark district. Upon waking, he, like all newborns, experienced an intense and painful hunger, one which drove him to bit and kill his sister Mary, who was out searching for him because he never made it home. Right after draining her dry, he searches for the creature that turned him but instead he meets Doctor Edagr Swansea, who he calles Souris. Edgar knowing who and what Jonathan was offered Jonathan a as the hospital's head surgeon, which he accepted. With a new job, Jonathan sets out to learn how to live this new life of his while trying to keep London healthy and trying to find a cure for the skal epidemic.

His office sits on Pembroke's unused third floor. There it has a bed, a small dresser, a little kitchen set up with an ice chest, an exam table, a work bench and a desk. The office, with locked doors and windows covered by thick black curtants, also has a small attached bathroom, which has a toilet, a sink and a shower/tub.

Jonathan, who has only been an ekon for 29 days, currently, he lives in his office at Pembroke as he fears his new state of being and doesn't want to put his mother in danger. Despite his need for blood, he still wants to upholds his Doctoral oath of do no harm, so he only allows himself to feeds on animals, skals, and vulkods. Sticking to that is a challange though as his 'beast', is slowly driving him insane. Jonathan fights to maintain control but that fight causes him to be short tempered.

He enjoys gardening, studying Scientific Journals, talking to friends, helping people and playing the piano. Though he can't stand the Guard of Priwen and Geoffrey McCullum, he understands the vampire hunters are necessary as they protect humans from vampires. When speaking he is very articulate and polite when speaking, often adressing people by their tile or last name, although if the person is a friend he will use their first name and sometimes a french nickname he came up with.
