Henry FitzRoy

species: Human, Vampire

from Tanya Huff series

Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset (15 June 1519–18 June 1536) is a historical figure who appears as a character in Tanya Huff's Blood and Smoke series, and in the television series based on her novels: Blood Ties, where he is portrayed by Kyle Schmid.

As such, this entry focuses on Henry Fitzroy as a fictional character, rather than as the historical figure on which he was based.

In both the books and the TV series, Henry Fitzroy was turned into a vampire by his lover, Christina, who dug him out of his tomb after he appeared to die. He went on to live for centuries, ageing at a much slower rate than humans, and possessing many of the typical qualities attributed to vampires, except, most notably, for their aversion to crosses. He has remained, instead, a devout Catholic.

At the end of the 20th Century, Henry lived Toronto, Canada, where he met Vicki Nelson and Tony Foster, who both became his lovers.

In the books, he earns a living as a romance writer. In the TV series, he is a graphic novelist.

Since the character of Tony Foster does not appear in the television series, Henry's bisexuality has not, so far, been represented on the screen.
