Sam

## Personality

Sam is a tactical planner, a natural leader and excellent at critical thinking. Quinn and the whole Cursed Faction relies on Sam's ability to make decisions in hard scenarios with Quinn commenting that he wouldn't have been able to make choices as good as Sam. Sam does question his decisions in hindsight when things go wrong and blames himself for errors. When he is in a panic he over plans.

Sam is kept busy dealing with the Cursed Faction that even when he finally has everything done he looks for more work believing that it can't all be done.

## History

Sam's parents had originally spent a lot of money on ability books in the hope that Sam would provide benefits to them and be able to earn money. However, Sam reached his limit with the wind ability at level 5. Despite having a level 6 ability book he would feel pain trying to evolve his ability. Sam was concerned with his future as a level 5 ability would not be strong enough and because he had focussed on his abilities his studies were not great.

Sam first meets Quinn in the VR game Power Fighters under the alias Blood Evolver along with his friend Nate Snell, where they battled and he lost to Quinn. Seeing Quinn's fighting ability and his quick progression as he gets stronger, he quickly becomes a fan and tries to find out his identity to no avail.

During the Inter Base Tournament, he runs into Quinn inside an armour shop and they quickly become friends, helping him to fight off a group of high-level ability users who try to steal from Quinn.

During Sam's time in the medium faction known as The Crows. His parents live on Earth with his brother, as his brother found much greater success as an ability user and the military recruited him giving his parents this benefit. Sam found out about the existence of vampires after Kazz attempted to kill Linda and while Kazz Cain suggested they kill him Quinn had a soft spot for humans and wished to save as many as he could so Quinn decided to turn Sam into a vampire. He was turned into a vampire in chapter 602.

When the Cursed faction was created Sam became the main leader and decision maker of the faction with Quinn often performing other duties entirely. The control became so much that when the vampire leaders joined the Cursed Faction they were confused as to why the faction would have a weak person as such a leader.

When Quinn went to sleep Sam became the main leader of The Cursed Faction and gave Owen's son the beast gear made out of Vorden's demon beast crystal when factions started to hunt Raten Blade and Vorden Blade as Demon tier beasts for their crystals. When Quinn met with Logan for the first time after the time skip he explains that Sam went missing and nobody knows what happened to him and that it was the indicator that something was wrong and the system got out of hand. The cursed faction lost hope, and understanding of their goals and fell apart.

## Trivia

* Sam has become a Vampire Noble but is considered the weakest one, his lack of experience is due to him managing the Cursed faction.
* Sam was the person who organised Quinn's birthday party.
* There appears to be an error in the novel. Owen's grandson claims that Sam gave his father Vorden's beast gear but Vorden and Raten weren't hunted until after Sam had dissapeared.
