Background
Eddie Kolchak is the only adopted son of Carl Kolchak, the intrepid reporter who uncovered the Unknown during his career in the cities of Las Vegas, Seattle, Chicago and Los Angeles. After Carl’s retirement, he adopted young Eddie, a kid from an orphanage whose birth parents he has never met. Carl encouraged Eddie to have an inquisitive mind, and to be wary of authorities and their abuse of power. In his early teens, Eddie discovered Carl’s sensational audio tapes, notes, and photos. He listened in fascination to Carl talk about the encounters he had with the Unknown. Eddie entered college to pursue studies in journalism and follow in Carl’s footsteps.
Within the year, Carl was ruthlessly killed during a home invasion. While the police insisted it was the work of a junkie with a known history of B&E’s and Assault, Eddie knew otherwise. The mirrors in the home were smashed, as was an iconic photo taken of Carl during his years in Las Vegas. Eddie found a handwritten note placed between the photo and the backing of the frame. It simply read, “In Memoriam: Janos”—Janos Skorzeny—the vampire Carl had staked in Las Vegas very early in his career. Eddie has never produced any leads to the identify of Carl’s killer. Another vampire? A servant of a vampire? A mentally ill fan of Janos Skorzeny?
Eddie decided to throw himself into fitness, martial arts and shooting, and to pick up where his father left off so many years ago: to find the Unknown and bring it to “justice.” And with blood suckers, justice is a stake to the heart. He finished his studies and found work in Motor City with the [Motor City Media Group] as a correspondent and podcaster. He has a contact in the FBI, someone to whom he occasionally turns for information, especially if any homicides have the stink of a vampire. Not that Eddie ever alludes to his "delusion" but sometimes it slips out.
