Jerry is from an odd bloodline of vampires from the Mediterranean. Perhaps his bloodline weakness is the inability to cross thresholds without being invited and his unique discipline is to be able to embrace without the expenditure of a willpower point. Beyond that, he fits kindred traits perfectly. He even displays rotschrek at the end, and the magical stake simply fills that last box of health with aggravated damage to dust him. |

Jerry and his spawn fit the vampire model in 30 Days of Night almost perfectly. They're inhumanly strong and super-hard to kill, have fang-filled slasher smiles, and are clearly strong enough to break humans with their bare hands. Both Jerry and Evil Ed had ash-grey skin, and all the vampires have solid black pupils. 30 Days of Night vampires seem like they're a little too strong to get killed by a mere stake, but in fairness, no one in the comic has ever gotten close enough to try. They also share their insane vulnerability to sunlight, as newly created vampires in both works can be ashed by a stray sunbeam in less than a second. |

Jerry is a Type One Vampire, similar to Kurt Barlow from [['Salem's Lot]]. He has the same powers and vulnerabilities as Kurt, and even reacts to the cross being presented to him faithlessly [[Cross-Melting Aura|in the same way]]. His spawn are Type Two Vampires, with Ed simply being one that retained more personality then usual. Charlie and his friends even have to form a Ka-Tet in order to destroy him permanently, and by his firm hand and calm in the face of danger, Charlie may even have the potential to be a Gunslinger. |

** Just for fun, Jerry could also literally be the vampire pilot from The Night Flier and Popsy. He'd be genre savvy enough. |
