Amber Maddox

An agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Jason’s girlfriend. She first appeared in *Natural Consequences*.

## Biography

Amber Maddox grew up in Seattle, unappreciated by her family and largely friendless in school, but excelled academically. She graduated from University of Washington with majors in chemistry and physics at age 20, after which she joined the FBI as a forensic scientist. After four years there Joseph Hauser recruited her to the Special Task Force in Los Angeles after a test that involved apprehending a vampire.⁠

### Mission to Seattle

In her first full mission with the Task Force, Amber was to approach Jason under cover, as he was their one lead of investigating the disappearance of Anastacia’s Court after the Battle of Blackthorne Manor.⁠

After her first initial contact with Jason she was first invited to meet most of the members of the Crew. Lorelei had to do a minor mind wipe of her due to Alex suffering from past memories. When Bridger undid the mind wipe it confirmed the Crew as a group of interest for the investigation.⁠ She went as Jason’s date to the Emerald City Halloween Ball where she was abducted by Rosario together with Alex and Jason. She participated in the following Battle of the Bus Tunnel.⁠

Amber’s actions and presence proved troublesome for both Lorelei, Rachel, and the Task Force. She gathered important intelligence for the Task Force, but she and Jason developed strong feelings for each other as well, something that would complicate any future prosecution. Rachel was aware that Amber was a federal agent, but was prohibited from intervening as long as supernatural forces weren’t involved. Amber’s guardian angel Theresa was also deeply disapproving of Rachel. Lorelei was suspicious of Amber, partly from picking up cues from her and partly from watching Rachel’s reactions. She attempted to make Amber open up after the Battle of the Bus Tunnel, but failed to do so.

### Battle of Magnuson Park

After the Battle of the Bus Tunnel, Amber attempted to make the investigation less confrontational towards the Crew, but was overruled by Hauser. Instead she was tasked to arrest Jason. She did that, but was then in turn confronted and taken captive by Lorelei, who had received notice of Alex’s arrest from Molly. They drove to Magnuson Park, where Lorelei attempted to free Alex, but Hauser captured her with help from Donald. Jason was arrested and Amber freed.⁠

Amber was together with Lanier, Colleen, and several members of the tac team when the first group of vampires attempted to infiltrate the building. She was the only member of that group who managed to escape death or capture, partially thanks to assistance from Theresa. She joined Jason, Wade, Drew, and Bridger in a defensive position and to help cover Alex and Lorelei in their counterattack.⁠

### Relationship with Jason

After the battle of Magnuson Park she and Jason initiated a long-distance relationship.⁠ Jason is planning to move to Los Angeles in the coming summer.⁠⁠

After the Battle of the Casino she acted as the liaison between the Task Force and the Crew.⁠⁠ She participated in the Battle of Suite 1705, providing the Crew with vital legal cover and guidance.⁠

Amber lives in Los Angeles. She has been reprimanded over her actions during the investigaton of Anastacia’s Court and the Crew, but is still with the Task Force.⁠

## Relations

Amber is currently in a long-distance relationship with Jason. She has poor relations with her parents.⁠

Her guardian angel is Theresa.⁠

## Abilities

Amber is highly observant and has developed good skills in directing a conversation, enough so that Lorelei commented on it.⁠⁠ She is a skilled forensic scientist and technician with a strong knowledge in especially chemistry. She is skilled with several firearms and other tactical equipment.
