Delos Redfern

Delos Redfern is a young vampire Prince, ruler of the Dark Kingdom enclave. He has wavy brown hair, black-lashed yellow eyes, and elegant cheekbones bones over a smooth, pale face.

Delos is a Wild Power. Since he was a child, he was made to use the blue fire within his blood as a weapon. In Black Dawn, Delos is convinced his great-grandfather, Hunter Redfern, will triumph in the Millennium. So, Delos plans to join forces with Hunter to destroy the day world.

When Delos meets human Maggie Neely, they realise they are soulmates. After much reluctance to accept he loves Maggie, Delos demands Maggie become a vampire and join forces with his side of the battle. Maggie tells him humans are people and they have as much right to live as Night People do. She says she will never accept his offer. But Delos has strong determination, so, he locks her in a dungeon at the Black Dawn castle until she is willing. Maggie is also determined – to show Delos that humans are not merely vermin. She convinces him of this when Delos visits her in the dungeon again. When Delos sees how the human slaves in his kingdom are being treated, he tells Maggie he will no longer fight with Hunter.

But Hunter is listening in on their conversation. He tells Delos he suspected betrayal. He locks Delos in the dungeon as well and informs the couple they will be the prey of the big hunt tomorrow.

The next day, as the hunt is about to start, Delos speaks to his nobles who have betrayed his loyalty. He tells them to think twice about trusting a man who could do this to his own great-grandson. Hunter furiously tells Delos to shut up. Meanwhile, Sylvia Weald – the witch who has placed a spell on Delos to prevent him from using his blue fire – is suffering a bout of conscience. Maggie pleads for Sylvia to remove the spell. When Aradia, the blind Maiden of the witches who is also present, demands for her to do so, Sylvia does it. She removes the spell just as Hunter orders her death. The spell has been removed and Delos aims his arm at Hunter. The blue fire leaves no trace of the aristocratic Redfern.

Delos and Maggie decide to work with Circle Daybreak for the battle during the Millennium.

Delos is the son of Tormentil Redfern, who was the son of Chervil Redfern, the first and only son Hunter had. Tormentil and Chervil are no longer alive. Chervil founded Dark Kingdom and Tormentil was the king until he died. In Black Dawn, Tormentil is described as looking almost exactly like Hunter. Tormentil pushed Delos to be ruthless and cold. And, when he discovered his son had blue fire in his blood, Tormentil made his toddler-aged son kill using it. Maggie comments on the coldness and loneliness that exudes from Delos when she first meets him.
