President's Vampire	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })President's Vampire, also known as Blood Oath after the first book, is a series of novels by Christopher Farnsworth mixing supernatural horror and spy fiction.Zachary Barrows is a young White House bureaucrat and his party's boy wonder, hoping to achieve much in politics. However, his career comes to a screeching halt when, after getting caught spending a night with the president's daughter, he's reassigned to be, for the rest of his life, a liaison officer between the White House and... a vampire.As it turns out, there is an entire world of supernatural creatures that, for most part, consider humans to be a tasty and healthy meal, and many people who want to use black magic against the general public. Between them and unknowing civilians stands Nathaniel Cade, a vampire bound by a blood oath to serve the President of the United States, whoever he might be. He's been doing this job for over fourteen decades and gone through dozens of partners - the latest of which is supposed to be Zach.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Almost immediately after their first meeting, the duo is sent to save the America from Muslim terrorists who want to use Frankenstein monsters to overthrow the US, the original Doctor Frankenstein and the secret semi-government agency who had its own plans, and that's only Zach's first day on the job...So far, there are five books in the series: Blood Oath The President's Vampire The Burning Men (novella) Red, White and Blood Deep State (novella) Better Dead than Red

President's Vampire / int_143c304b	comment	Vegetarian Vampire: Bar his first burst of Horror Hunger after his creation, Cade refuses even voluntarily donated or blood-bank-derived human blood, believing that if he gives in, he won't be able to stop. He drinks animal blood instead; the only time Cade has seriously attempted to disobey an order from Zach was when Zach 'ordered' him to drink what he claimed to be blood just to see what Cade would do early in their partnership. Tania considers this squeamishness. Cade unwittingly breaks this rule when Zach arranges for him to receive suitable transfusions after he's left seriously injured following his battle with the Boogeyman, but this occurs when Cade is unconscious and unaware of what's happening to him.

Though it turns out that was just stage one of the plan — they were also supposed to blow up Air Force One while Johnson was onboard being sworn in, then leave evidence that pointed towards Cuban agents, in order to trigger World War III. Fortunately, Cade hunted down and killed the team responsible, before this could happen. It's also implied they were behind Robert Kennedy's assassination, as he had figured it out and was planning to send Cade to wipe them out for good as revenge once he succeeded his brother to the Presidency.

She is also one of the few people not to show fear of Cade to his face. During her time on the campaign trail, she angrily chews out a number of journalists who want to see proof of a car wreck that's killed two Secret Service agents ( they were actually killed by the Boogeyman) by pointing out that the families of the agents don't need to see their loved ones' mangled bodies splashed across the tabloids. She's also fiercely devoted to her family: her first thought during the Unmenschensoldaten attack on the White House is her father's safety, and she leaves the safety of a panic room aboard Air Force One to find and protect her little brother, even though the Boogeyman is aboard and on the rampage.

Colonel Graves in The President's Vampire is another one, confident that his presidential pardon for his involvement in Kennedy's assassination protects him from Cade's wrath. He's disabused of this at the end of the novel where Cade reveals that the current President has rescinded the pardon and branded him an enemy combatant, meaning Cade has free rein to do what he likes.

When Bell admits she did, she looks at Cade, gets the impression he seems to be resisting something...and then realises with genuine terror that he is struggling against the urge to kill her.

For a time it looks like they might hit it off, but after Candace's near-death encounter with the Boogeymen aboard Air Force One, she breaks it off again, sadly stating she can't handle the monsters Zach deals with every day in her life.

Cade abruptly wastes no time in killing everything aboard the ship; the Snakeheads who have already turned can't be allowed to escape back to dry land, and any surviving humans, if they haven't already been infected with the virus, will likely have been driven irrevocably mad by what they've seen.

President's Vampire / int_ec7da60a	comment	Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Johann Konrad, the real-life basis for Shelley's Doctor Frankenstein, perfected his Elixir of Youth in 1693, and used it to live for centuries and continue his obscene work up until 1734, when one of his creations got loose and killed dozens of people before it was brought down, forcing Konrad to make a quick exit when an angry mob stormed his castle afterwards. Apparently Mary Shelley got the idea for the novel while on holiday near Konrad's family castle and hearing the accounts of his atrocities. Konrad is also implied to have been responsible for saving Ronald's Reagan's life after the assassination attempt on him in 1981, resulting in the U.S. Government giving him a pardon (much to Cade's fury) in exchange for certain conditions (see Deal with the Devil below). Marie Laveau,the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, bound Cade to the service of the President, by order to Andrew Johnson, using the bullet that killed Abraham Lincoln as part of the spell. Elliot Ness was a member of the taskforce that Cade led in destroying Innsmouth. Osama Bin Laden was an agent of the Shadow Company, who Cade killed in Tora Bora (his survival and later "real" death both being faked by the government for political reasons). Oh, and he was an early test subject of the Snakehead virus, so he wasn't human anymore when Cade killed him. John Wilkes Booth was a patsy of the Order, who faked his own death in 1865 and went into hiding, until the guilt caught up with him decades later and he started drunkenly announcing the truth. So Cade hunted him down and killed him, though he made it quick and painless with poison because Wilkes Booth showed genuine remorse for his actions. Jack the Ripper was a "starchild" created by Aleister Crowley, in the same sort of ritual that later created the Boogeyman. That ritual was performed by Francis Tumblety, an American quack who was one of the primary suspects in the Ripper case. Every Serial Killer in the 20th century has either been a host of the Boogeyman, or a member of the cult worshiping it.

President's Vampire / int_efbc288f	comment	Heroic Self-Deprecation: Cade has this in spades and it's up to Tania and Zach to pull him out of it. Long story short, he's a devout Calvinist convinced he's a monster who can't redeem itself and can only try to do good until finally something beats him and he'll burn in Hell.

President's Vampire / int_f1d6144a	comment	In another flashback, Ulysses Grant considers himself a greater monster than Cade for the fact he is honoured for his deeds during the Civil War, despite the devestation and death it caused, but accepts it and the fact he is sending Cade out to assassinate any surviving instigators of the war in the hope of making the future better.

President's Vampire / int_fe64d5a1	comment	Evil Is Petty: During her time in the CIA, Holt ratted out her entire team to the Islamic extremists they were shadowing, resulting in their deaths, because she was insulted they were sidelining her because she was the junior member of the team. This got her noticed by the Shadow Company. She also contemplates having Wyman assassinated simply because he had the nerve to hang up on her. Konrad admits this is the sole reason why he betrays Holt and injects her with a false version of his Elixir of Life, leaving her semi-paralysed.
