Severin

Severin (known among demons as The Siphon) was a San Francisco vampire hunter with the ability of draining mystical energy of those he touched, making himself stronger. In the case of vampires, Severin removed their demon spirits, leaving behind fresh corpses with no apparent cause of death. According to Eldre Koh, the coming of the Siphon had long been feared among demons.

Among his victims were Clare, who had been his girlfriend in life, Cynthia Daniels, "John Doe", and "Jane Doe".
