Benny Lafitte

Benjamin "Benny" Lafitte became a vampire at the hands of an ancient and cruel one known as The Old Man, serving in his isolated nest, where the vampires worked as pirates. For many years, Benny worshipped his maker as a God, eventually becoming his second-in-command. At some point, he met rogue vampire Desmond. Fifty years ago, he fell in love with a Greek woman named Andrea and tried to run away with her. However, they were discovered and his nest buddies held him down while The Old Man cut off his head, sending his soul to Purgatory, where all monsters went after dying. His remains were buried on his property in Louisiana, presumably where he was killed. In Purgatory, he spent the next fifty years fighting the souls of other deceased monsters. At some point, he learned about a portal that led back to Earth. However, because only humans could use this portal, Benny remained trapped in Purgatory.
