Jackie Daytona

Male

I am highly creative and have been seen playing the organ, pungi, balalaika, saxophone, accordion, and harmonica. I am also skilled at composing, painting, topiary sculpting and acting.
If I had my way, harpsichord lessons would be compulsory in Staten Island.
My favourite television show is Priests Falling Over.
Nadja and I usually wear coordinated outfits.
My "type" is "dark haired, with a generic accent".

Formed a musical duo with Nadja and composed several songs during the 18th and 19th century that would later be re-interpreted into other popular songs during the 20th century. The most notable examples include a “seafaring song” composed in 1792 that would later become The Beach Boy’s Kokomo, and an 1852 tribute to my local fishmonger’s wife, Chum on Irene, which would later become Come on Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners. I was not aware of the existence of these covers until 2020.

Gained a witch skin hat from a Bavarian witch hunter I was eating. I failed to realize it was cursed and the hat caused several calamities, including the Irish Potato Famine and a horse trampling me before trying to mate with me. Nadja kept trying to get rid of the hat but it kept crawling back.

Around 1853, I travelled to California in the hope of doing a deal with the Devil in order to become a better guitarist, not realizing that the Devil’s Crossroads was actually in Mississippi. I rented a beach house in San Diego belonging to Jim the Vampire and neglected to pay the final month’s rent and the security deposit. Jim was so angry that he spent the next 167 years looking for me.

During the Victorian era, I killed many people in London and was dubbed Jack the Ripper. I would later produce a topiary structure dedicated to the vulva of Polly Nichols, my first victim as the Ripper. No one found out I was Jack and I did not tell anyone until facing death in an incident in the year 2019.

Nadja and I eventually sailed to New York on a ship with fellow vampire Simon the Devious, with whom Nadja most likely had an affair. I brought my witch skin hat with us, making Simon jealous. Nadja and I settled in Staten Island while Simon went to Manhattan and quickly took over the city’s vampires. He set up a vampire nightclub, The Sassy Cat Club, which Nadja, myself and eventual roommate Nandor frequented during the 1920s. From the late 1800s to the 1990s, I appeared in multiple "Risque" movies.

Sometime before 1932, I ran afoul of the Vampiric Council after turning a baby into a vampire out of boredom. Another vampire, Garrett, was incorrectly found guilty of the crime and sentenced to imprisonment underground at the Temple of Blood-Devourers. I passed the baby to an acquaintance in the Bronx, and they eventually became a member of the council themselves.

In 1977 I turned the musician Elvis Presley into a vampire. Elvis would occasionally rent a coffin at home to record new music.

At the time of the documentary filming, Nadja and I were living with fellow vampire Nandor, energy vampire Colin Robinson, and Nandor's familiar Guillermo in a house on Staten Island.
