idk how much does it fit today's theme but I thought of Veronica's Sire. Back in 1920s (he went by name William Moore back then) he used to work as sheriff's hound and had not very high level of humanity (which went even lower after he murdered the whole mobster gang, that were holding Veronica). But over the time, and time spent with Veronica he regained his humanity back - Veronica is very humane and it usually is transmitted to people close to her. Even tho Veronica's embrace was very spontanious, judged by other toreodors, and honestly William would never pick her as his apprentice for the type of work he was doing - in the end it gave him personal growth he wasn't expecting and didn't know he needed

after 1990s William quit his hound job, Veronica visited him back then and tought him how to use computer and internet (THE FUTURE IS IN THESE TECHNOLOGIES!). It's was hard for 250+ years old vampire to get into it but he managed and it defenetely came in handy

Nowdays they go by name Kellen and decided to come out as nonbinary. They have their own lawyer office, help people, and as former hound sometimes give advice to vampires as well (related to keeping/saving the masquarade etc). Kellen values human life much more than 100 years ago and overal feel more comfortable in their own skin, good for them <3
