Biography[]
Jeff Westin was a history teacher at a college or university in Boston, Massachusetts. He was a middle-aged divorcee with two children, Andy and Belinda. Jeff began dating one of his students, Kat Neely, who was several years his junior. They remained together for four years until Kat began pressuring Jeff about getting married and starting a family of their own. Jeff suddenly got cold feet and abruptly broke off their relationship. Kat remained bitter about the break-up for a long time.
Sometime later, Kat began dating a man named Aidan Waite. Kat's fondness for "older men" apparently extended to vampires as well, though she was unaware of her new boyfriend's nature at the time. Kat brought Aidan to the library one day where she had an awkward chance encounter with Jeff Westin and his new girlfriend, Marissa. Later that evening, Kat told Aidan everything about her past relationship with him. [1]
In the early-morning hours, Aidan happened upon Jeff Westin and fed from him. Practically intoxicated with blood, Aidan passed out, not realizing, or not caring, that he had turned Westin into a vampire as well. As it turned out, Aidan had recently been the benefactor of a vaccine of werewolf blood, which cured him of a virus that had been wiping out the vampire population. An unexpected side effect from the werewolf booster shot however, was that any progeny created by said vampire would suffer from physical deformity and an insatiable bloodlust - one even greater than that of the average vampire.
The deformed Westin began stalking Aidan Waite, and followed him to a strip club where he eyed him from afar. Leaving the club, Aidan noticed Westin following him and confronted him. The hideous vampire asked him why he did this to him and then attacked him. Aidan had little choice but to run a stake through him, ending his life. [2]
