Kanin is the Master vampire who sired and mentored Allison Sekemoto. It is never confirmed whether Kanin is his actual name or not - he tells Allison to call him Kanin, but claims that he never said it was his name. However, he is referred to as such by the characters of the series.

Biography[]

The Immortal Rules[]

Kanin saves Allison from Rabids and offers her the choice to Turn and be reborn as a vampire, or die as a human. She accepts his offer to Turn and is thus sired by him. He stays behind to train her to survive as a vampire, teaching her everything about vampire culture and how to defend herself. He tells Allison that she must leave her old life behind and forget about Stick, but Allie doesn't listen and sneaks out to visit him a few nights later.

Allie finds Stick with her old rival's gang and attempts to talk to him since he is completely hated and ostracized by the group, but soon after she reveals her new nature, he panics and reports it to the authorities. Kanin uses this as an example of human distrust and betrayal.

When Kanin soon leaves to secure the area, Allie is met with Sarren, a psychotic vampire with a bone to pick with Kanin. This confrontation only ends when Allie stabs him in the eye with her pocketknife and is able to quickly lock him in the basement lab of the hospital, when Kanin suddenly returns. It is revealed that Kanin was the vampire who betrayed the other vampires, including Sarren, to the human scientists in search for a cure to the Red Lung Disease.

As Kanin and Allie make their escape, they are chased by a search party that injures Kanin badly. He tells Allie to continue without him, and although she is reluctant, she eventually escapes outside of the Wall. Kanin is captured and tortured by Sarren, which Allie can see in her dreams through the blood tie with her sire.

The Eternity Cure[]

Months later, Kanin is still being tortured and starved by Sarren with Prince Salazar's support. He gradually succumbs to the Hunger, attacking and feeding on Allison when she comes for him. After Sarren betrays the Prince, it is revealed that Salazar fed Kanin infected blood to ensure that the group would search for the cure. As they do so, Kanin's coniditon slowly deteriorates. Before he dies of the virus, they manage to cure him with Zeke's blood.

The Forever Song[]

Kanin, Allie and Jackal hunt down Sarren to stop him from destroying Eden, while avenging Zeke. While Allie wants to turn to the darkness, Kanin constantly warns and advises her about crossing the line of morality to become a monster. He wishes that she does not follow the same path as Jackal. Throughout the journey, he continues acting as a father figure to Allie and Jackal, disciplining them and making sure they remain focused. After defeating Sarren, Kanin realises that the cure to Requiem is in his blood and he must sacrifice himself to stop the spread of Requiem amongst the Rabids, thus saving the rest of the world from this new virus. Allie is saddened to lose Kanin, but he tells her that he must end this and atone for his sins, just as he started it all. He reassures her that she has Zeke by her side, and will continue to grow in power as a Master. Before feeding himself to the Rabids, he tells her that he is proud of her for what she has become and hopes she will always be the same girl he met in the rain that night.     

Characteristics[]

Personality[]

Kanin is described by Allie as being dark, mysterious, wise and knowledgeable, as well as a formidable Master vampire. Even in difficult situations, Kanin remains stoic and focused, such as when he is tortured by Sarren or infected by Red Lung. While he believes that some vampires may try to hold on to their humanity, they are and will always be savage, blood-thirsty beasts who feed off of human kind. Kanin has his own ways of coping with this, often leaving behind gifts and providing assistance to the innocent humans he feeds on as a form of compensation. He contains great amounts of guilt for how he betrayed the vampires, selfishly sacrificing them for experimentation instead of letting the virus run its course or giving himself up as a lab rat.

Physical attributes[]

Kanin is described by Allie as being tall with dark hollowed eyes, a muscular figure and broad shoulders. He is mostly seen dressed in black. Allie also states in the book that if you didn't look closely enough at his features, he could pass as a human.

Relationships[]

Allison Sekemoto[]

Kanin is Allison's sire and mentor. When he found her on the brink of death after a Rabid attack, he saves her and offers her the choice to Turn and be reborn as a vampire, or die as a human. She accepts his offer to Turn and is thus sired by him. He stays behind to train her to survive as a vampire, teaching her everything about vampire culture and how to defend herself.

Jackal[]

Jackal is a vampire who was sired by Kanin many years before the start of the series. Kanin tried to kill Jackal upon realising his true intentions for wanting a cure to Rabidism, but failed to do so.

Sarren[]

Sarren is Kanin's enemy, and has been hunting Kanin relentlessly after Kanin gave him to the scientists to be used as a test subject.

Salazar[]

Like most Princes, Salazar despises Kanin for being a traitor of the vampire race.
