Montreal After Dark

Ratkin

Hack, like most of the Ratkin in Montreal, was once forced to follow Karen Nash, a Ratkin who owed her allegiance to a vampire. Karen liked to keep the rest of the rats in town weak, uneducated, and mostly unable to take care of themselves. All that changed when Kiran Michaels convinced Hack to abandon Karen, and the vampires. Hack has sworn to protect Kiran and the rest of the Michael's pride with his life.

Jenks once believed that the only thing she was good for was sex and protecting Karen and the vampires. Kiran Michaels convinced her differently. Despite her lack of education, Jenks is an awesome fighter, and will protect Kiran and the rest of the Michael's Pride with her life.

At 17, Peri is the oldest of a group of Ratkin that has lately joined Kiran and the Michael's Pack. Peri has spent the last few years protecting the younger Ratkin from Karen and the others who would prey on them, including Idana, his very pregnant Mate. He's not sure he can trust the Bastet just yet, but he's willing to give them a shot.

Rock is Peri's sister, and did her share of protecting the younger Ratkin. It was unavoidable that she would be caught from time to time and forced into service, but she hasn't let that make her bitter. Already a fierce fighter at the age of 15, she is very protective of the younger Ratkin, and of Idana.

Jako's mother was killed protecting him from a vampire, which left him vulnerable to Karen and her vampire friends. He considers himself a man at the tender age of 15, and will fight side by side with Peri and Rock to protect Idana and Pretty. Jako has a bit of luck at the casino and is generally able to make money easily when he manages to play.

Pretty is very shy, and wary of taking on the unfamiliar human form of her friends. Born a rat, Pretty was able to avoid Karen and the others for the most part, but the one time they caught her still weighs heavy on her mind. The youngest of the Ratkin group, Pretty is 13.

Kinfolk

Idana is only 15, but she knows what she wants to do with her life. Being pregnant is just a little bump in the road. Though Kinfolk had a somewhat less difficult time of things under Karen's rule, Idena spent a few months in the vampires tender care before she managed to get away.
