First character we need to work on is. . . . Darren Shan. This is extracted from Wikipedia on List of characters from The Saga of Darren Shan.


 * Darren Shan - The protagonist. Darren was blackmailed into being blooded into a half-vampire by Mr. Crepsley after stealing his performing spider, Madam Octa. She bit Darren's best friend, Steve, and Mr. Crepsley blooded Darren in return for the antidote. Darren saves Steve (but Steve swore to become a vampire hunter, because he believes Darren betrayed him), fakes his own death, and became Mr. Crepsley's assistant. He initially hates Mr. Crepsley for making him flee his home. Eventually though, he learns to like Vampires, and does not hate Mr. Crepsley any more.
