@XxFellsingxXRoll with Night please.
@CandykaneMisty knows what I've mentioned about the copper web so far and she knows the following about the senior officer:
The unaware know him as Samuel Filmore, an eccentric but ultimately well meaning old night cop who used city weapon laws and loopholes in police equipment regulations to carry a sword on his beats.
The aware know him as Cornelius Emmetton a southern plantation owner who died a few years before the Civil War, but was brought back as a vampire by his wizard wife. When the south seceded and war broke out, Emmetton fought for the Confederacy, but faked his death and fled with his wife to parts unknown when the north started winning.
He then showed up alone in the city back in the 1950s, joined the police force under his new mortal identity, and founded the Copper Web, which he is still in charge of to this day.
