Biography
Kumboh was a throne prince of a tribe before becoming a vampire and wandered the Earth for thousands of years.

In the 1920s, he worked as a groundskeeper in a mental asylum at night, where he took advantage to feed on humans who could die without much notice being taken. He befriended Alice and came to care about her like a daughter. He learned of Alice's abilities; she always knew when he was coming to visit her. He would bring hidden objects with him, to see if she could guess what he had. She always got it right.

On the night that James came for Alice, she told him about her vision. He decided to save her, but she foresaw failure after failure, and he started to realize what he was up against. Then he decided to change her. Alice saw that this would be very close. There might not be enough time for her blood to transform sufficiently for James to gain nothing in killing her. She told him that he was going to have a future and did not want him to sacrifice himself, but Kumboh did not waver from this decision. He bit Alice immediately and took her away to hide her as well as he could. He then put himself in James's path to delay him, knowing from Alice's vision that he would not survive.

He kept James and Victoria at bay until he was finally overpowered and destroyed. His sacrifice allowed Alice to successfully transform into a vampire. Sadly, she forgot about him after the change.

Powers and abilities: limited mind control
Kumboh displayed some limited form of mind control, such as when he hypnotized the night patron and later James. His eyes glowed crystal white when he used this power.
