James Stockford

Stockford is a friend and accomplice of Banks/William, posing as his valet. Banks/William has convinced Stockford that he’s made himself immortal and can share that gift with the younger man. This has motivated Stockford to help prepare the ritual, but he doesn’t realize that he’s actually the next target for Banks/William to take. James Stockford is in his mid-twenties, athletic and handsome. Of upper-class background (he is distantly related to the Wickersfield line, although he’s not aware of it), he is not naturally servile and sometimes struggles with the discipline necessary to pull off the role of the valet. Like William, he is ambitious and inconsiderate of the lives of lesser folk—a perfect accomplice for the foul work of finding victims to sacrifice to dark powers.
