"Havers looked exactly the same as he always had from the bow tie and the horn-rimmed glasses to the dark hair parted on the side and kept in Mad Men order."
-Marissa upon seeing Havers for the first time since their estrangement[1]
Havers is a quintessential member of the glymera, the only known doctor for the vampire race, and the estranged brother of Marissa in The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by JR Ward.
Biography[]
Havers is the only known doctor in the vampire race. He runs a clinic for the species and also works in conjunction with his sister, referring possible cases of domestic abuse to Safe Place.
After his shellan, Evangeline, died in childbirth, he refuses to feed from any female vampire and has experimented with ways to preserve vampire blood so feeding from the vein isn't necessary. So far he has not been successful. [2]
Havers once attempted to have Wrath killed before he rose to the throne due to what he perceived as an injury to the honour of his blooded sister, Marissa, upon the dissolution of their non-existent mating. [2]
Later, he disowned and evicted her from the family home for not abiding by the strict rules of the glymera. He felt that she was ruining herself and her life by associating with a human after, in his mind, being unable to hold Wrath's attention. When she insisted that she was still a virgin, he was dubious of her statement since she could no longer be trusted to be honest due to her fallen status.
Personality[]
A brilliant physician, he developed a treatment for Cane's Lethargy, a lethal autoimmune disease.[3] He never turns anyone away from his clinic, even if they can't pay[4], and he's so dedicated to his work that he hasn't taken any time off for at least two years.[5] His worldviews are so set in stone that he disowned his own sister for falling in love with a human[6] and is known to refuse treatment to homosexuals.[7]
Physical Description[]
Havers keeps his brown hair neatly parted down the middle.[5] He's always seen wearing a bow tie, usually in a darker colour like blue or red, and wears horn-rimmed glasses. His typical attire includes a Burberry sports coat and slacks. The family's signet ring adorns his pinky finger.[8]
