Btw, I found that I think is that long-sought reference about Red Court Vamps being undead. Chapter 18 of Grave Peril, Bob says this:"“Bianca’s a vampire…She’s not alive in the classic sense.”"Not that she “isn’t mortal,” that’d be understandable, but that she isn’t even alive. As far as I know the Whites aren’t considered in the same fashion, because they’re basically vanilla mortals with a tag-along Hunger Spirit. In Dead Beat Harry talks about what happens when Wizards are taken; they don’t stay Wizards, they have to figure out a whole new life, it’s only their raw technical skill from being Wizards that allows them to remaster magic as Vamps. I think that’s pertinent because it means that much of what you were gets left at the door when you turn into a Red Court Vamp, perhaps even dies, whereas White Court Vamps are born as they are, & their spirit just kinda “wakes up”.
