Biography
Charlie Kelso was an older man and a resident of Barrow, Alaska. Every winter from November to December, the town is subjected to thirty consecutive days of sunless night. Charlie Kelso was one of dozens of people who left Barrow during the cold, snowy, winter.

In the year 2007, a pack of vampires came to Barrow to take advantage of the month-long endless night. Cutting off communication to the outside world, they were able to feed indiscriminantly without fear of the harmful rays of the rising sun to drive them into hiding. A group of survivors led by Sheriff Eben Oleson sought refuge inside of Charlie Kelso's empty home. Kelso's attic was quite spacious and was outfitted with a pull-down entranceway that was crafted to match the mold of the ceiling, making it an ideal hideout.
