At the time, Nick Knight and his master, Lucien LaCroix, had just recently returned to the city. Although one might expect that the large number of dying would make easy prey, in fact the taint in their blood was detectable to the vampires' keen sense of taste. LaCroix was particularly annoyed that, because of the fear of disease, the playhouses were closed.

  • At the time, Nick Knight and his master, Lucien LaCroix, had just recently returned to the city. Although one might expect that the large number of dying would make easy prey, in fact the taint in their blood was detectable to the vampires' keen sense of taste. LaCroix was particularly annoyed that, because of the fear of disease, the playhouses were closed. It was Nick who noted the assiduous professionalism of Gerald Archer, a doctor who continued to treat the ill despite the risk to himself. In the face of opposition from a local religious figure, Archer insisted that the disease was a medical phenomenon, not a visitation of God's justice upon the wicked. His courage inspired Nick to bring him across so that he might attend his patients without fear. However, Archer instead began preying upon them without due caution to detection. The preacher whipped up a mob against him, used a cross to cow him, and destroyed him by fire. Nick and LaCroix prudently left London that night.
