Professor Loren Blake

Loren Blake is a temporary professor at the Tulsa House of Night. The professorship is an honorary position awarded to him because he is the current Vampyre Poet Laureate. Professor Blake is unusually young for a Poet Laureate (in actual years he is only twenty-five) and is the youngest Vampyre Poet Laureate in vampyre history. His accomplishments are also extraordinary because he is a man and due to the vampyre matriarchal society, most Poet Laureates are women. He also uses Zoey Redbird to get Erik Night to break up with her.

Hobbies
Professor Blake has written poetry for as long as he can remember. Poetry writing is his career, his passion, and his hobby. He is an expert on many famous vampyre poets, including Shakespeare and several ancient Japanese masters.

Appearance
Professor Blake has dark hair and eyes and is incredibly handsome, (even for a vampyre) and looks like every woman's vision of the perfect man.

Zoey Redbird and Loren Blake
Loren soon shows an interest in Zoey Redbird that exceeds the normal teacher-student bond. He and Zoey imprint on each other while making love, breaking the imprint between Zoey and Heath. He is soon revealed to be in league with Neferet, as well as in love with her. He is killed by Neferet in Chosen, after he goes out to look for Zoey when he feels her sadness through the bond created by their Imprint.
