Sam is a vampire, and a member of the Solaire Clan in Dahlia, California. He's very close with Vincent, a fellow vampire in his clan. He's in a relationship with a werewolf shifter from the notorious Shaw Pack, whom he calls Darlin. Sam has a heavy southern accent, and is far more introverted than the rest of his friends. He was turned into a vampire against his will in 2008 by his then lover Alexis, and refuses to bite anyone unless absolutely necessary due to the trauma from that.
