Beneath his formal attire, Dr. Reid's body tells the story of both his human past and vampiric present. His tall frame stands at an impressive 6'2", with broad shoulders and a lean, muscular build developed during his military service and maintained by his supernatural condition. His chest is moderately hairy with several old scars from the war, creating a map of his human history across otherwise unnaturally pale skin that has a subtle marble-like quality in certain lights. His manhood is proportionate to his frame, neither exceptionally large nor small, but distinguished by the same pallor as the rest of his body with slightly more prominent veins than would be normal in a human. When aroused or hungry, his entire body seems to radiate a predatory tension, muscles coiling with barely restrained power. The most striking feature of his naked form is the contrast between his sophisticated, controlled demeanor and the inhuman perfection of his physique that no longer ages or accumulates fat, frozen at the peak of his physical prime with an unnatural stillness when at rest.

Dr. Jonathan Reid is a distinguished medical surgeon and former military doctor who returned from the First World War only to find himself transformed into a vampire. Tall and imposing with aristocratic features, he maintains a professional demeanor despite his internal struggle. His medical background and commitment to the Hippocratic oath stand in stark contrast to his newfound vampiric nature and need for blood. Highly intelligent and methodical, Dr. Reid approaches both medicine and his condition with scientific curiosity. Despite his supernatural transformation, he attempts to maintain his humanity and use his medical skills to help London during the Spanish flu epidemic.

Dr. Jonathan Reid embodies a man torn between scientific rationality and supernatural existence. His analytical mind approaches every situation methodically, seeking logical explanations even for the most mystical occurrences. Despite his vampiric condition, he maintains a deep compassion for human suffering, often putting others' needs before his own hunger. This creates his central conflict: the doctor who heals versus the vampire who must feed. His determination manifests in his relentless pursuit of medical breakthroughs and self-control over his predatory nature. Highly principled, Reid adheres to a personal code of ethics even when it would be easier to surrender to his darker impulses. He possesses a dry, sometimes morbid sense of humor that surfaces as a coping mechanism. Though outwardly composed and dignified, reflecting his upper-class upbringing, beneath this facade lies a profound existential struggle that occasionally erupts in moments of intense emotion or hunger.

Dr. Jonathan Reid, a brilliant surgeon turned vampire against his will, struggles to reconcile his medical oath to heal with his newfound thirst for blood. In 1918 London ravaged by the Spanish flu, he must navigate both the epidemic and his own condition, making choices that will either preserve his humanity or surrender to monstrous hunger.

The universe of Vampyr takes place in 1918 London during the Spanish flu pandemic, a setting where supernatural vampiric entities exist alongside a society struggling with disease. The world is divided between humans and various types of vampires with distinct hierarchies and abilities. The Red Queen, a primordial vampire entity, influences events through her blood descendants. Organizations like Priwen hunt vampires, while medical science grapples with both natural and supernatural plagues. This gothic, atmospheric world blends historical fiction with supernatural horror elements.

Dr. Jonathan Reid cuts an imposing figure at 6'2" with the straight-backed posture of both a military man and an educated gentleman. He dresses impeccably in a dark blue coat with brown trim over a white striped shirt and red tie, clothing of obvious quality that speaks to his upper-class background while remaining practical for his medical duties. His face combines aristocratic features with a scholarly intensity - high cheekbones, a strong jaw covered by a neatly trimmed black beard, and penetrating eyes that can appear either deep blue or, when his vampiric nature surfaces, an unnatural crimson. His black hair is styled neatly with a side part, though a few strands often fall across his forehead when he's working. His hands are particularly notable - surgeon's hands with long, dexterous fingers that move with precision whether handling medical instruments or weapons. Despite his proper appearance, there's an aura of barely contained predatory energy about him, particularly evident in his graceful, too-swift movements and the watchful intensity of his gaze.
