Henry Fitzroy

Henry Fitzroy is a character in the Blood Books (Blood Price, Blood Trail, Blood Lines, Blood Pact, and Blood Debt) franchise written by Tanya Huff that was adapted into 2007 Canadian television series Blood Ties. He is the illegitimate son of Henry VIII and his mistress Elizabeth Blount, who was turned into a vampire and has lived a life in the shadows ever since. He is charming and charismatic and works as a comic book artist and creator until he is swept up in supernatural investigation when Vicki Nelson walks into his life.
He was portrayed by Kyle Schmid.
== Personality ==
He is extremely confident and outgoing and loves to use his playfulness and charm to woo women into sleeping with him. He rarely forms personal attachments but this changes when he meets Vicki and he grows to be very protective of her, especially as she has a habit of stumbling into dangerous situations. He deeply cares for her and openly states he wants their relationship to be less professional and more ... intimate.
== Biography ==
In the 1500's, Henry met and fell in love with Christine, a mysterious woman in the British social scene who only attended events at night. Beguiled by her, Henry pursued her intently and the two struck up a bond. He eventually found out she was a vampire and out of love and desire to be with her, begged her to turn him. She agreed and Henry has lived as a vampire ever since.
However, a while after his turning, their relationship struggled when Christine caught him hunting in her territory, something generally forbidden by vampirekind and thus in anger she left him.
== Powers and Abilities ==
As a vampire, Henry has the typical physiological attributes of the species and therefore is superhumanly gifted in many ways:
* Immortality
* Superhuman Strength: He is easily able to throw a normal human being across the room with ease and can even hold off many supernatural creatures who are also physically strong.
* Superhuman Speed: He moves at incredible speeds and can even appear as a blur to the human eyes.
* Superhuman Agility
* Superhuman Stamina
* Enhanced Senses
* Accelerated Healing
* Hypnosis: Henry is able to use his eyes and voice to "charm" people into doing whatever he says, whether it's an action or simply giving up information. Although those who are very strong-willed can resist him.
=== Weaknesses ===
Unlike vampires from mythology, Henry is not affected by Christian symbols such as the cross, but he is very vulnerable to sunlight and exposure from it will cause him to burst into flames. A device known as The Iluminación del Sol is able to harness the power of the sun and leave him incapacitated.
