Althea BakerThis is a featured page

Ghost.
Deceased wife of Jack Baker, an unaligned Nosferatu.

Background
The story of Jack and Althea Baker could be the stuff of fairytales, their love is so strong. So strong, in fact, that it has survived both of their deaths.

When they discovered that Althea was pregnant, they made plans to move from the city to a satellite town, from their apartment to a big house where they could raise their family. The couple found a house that would fit their needs - it was a little run-down, but there was nothing wrong with it that a little TLC couldn't fix.

Nothing, that is, except for the Nosferatu that was living in their basement.

The vampire, Elizabeth Laughlin, was jealous of how happy the couple was, and so she Embraced Jack within the first week of the couple living there. Jack eventually suffered a hunger-frenzy, and accidentally killed Althea, and her six-month pregnancy. But her love brought her back.

Althea, along with Jack's ghoul (Father Brendan Callahan), helps to keep nosy people away. She also tries to help Jack by bringing him animals upon which he can feed - he refuses to drink from humans after what happened.

Notes
  • Althea was born in 1941. She died in 1966.
  • She has two anchors - her wedding ring, and Jack himself. The ring symbolizes the love that kept her on this world, and Jack is the object of that very same love.
  • Jack and Althea have a symbiotic relationship - they each supply the other with "food"; the animals that Althea brings supply Vitae to Jack, and Jack's feelings of pain and remorse supply Essence for Althea.
    • However, it's not a very healthy relationship - Jack is fully fixated on Althea, and can't move on from the guilt as long as she's around. However, he can't bring himself to send her to the next world, because that would mean that she'd be gone forever. Althea is a constant reminder of both his former life, and the biggest mistake he's ever made.
  • Appearance - long, dark, unkempt hair; long, white, tiered skirt and a white tanktop; bare feet; ripped-open neck and blood trail down her left side.
