Sonny Toussaint

 is a fictional vampire featured in the short-lived Fox Network television series Kindred: The Embraced where he was played by actor Erik King. Although introduced as a human police detective and partner to Detective Frank Kohanek, it is revealed later in the series that Sonny is a vampire of Clan Ventrue sired by the Prince of San Francisco, Julian Luna. Sonny's task is to act as a blind between Frank's ongoing investigation of the Kindred and the day-to-day operations of his vampire master. While trying to protect Julian Luna's interests, Sonny also develops a close bond with Detective Kohanek and tries to prevent him from learning too much about the nature of the Kindred - not only for the safety of the Kindred, but for Frank's safety as well.
