bjornwilde Since I am so wiped, I'm vegging out with PD and noticed I had a few details wrong with Ethan.
For future reference, canon starts on Sept 22, 1891.
His clothes are thread worn, well at least his jacket is, despite how they look on film. Ms Ives comments on this. He also has boots made with good quality leather which have been resoled many times. Seems to come from wealth (his father maybe?).
He does as about the job Ms Ives has for him. First asking if it is of a criminal nature and then is murder is involved. Each time she counters with, "Would it matter?" to which he replies, "No." He also asks, "What are we doing here?" at the site of the job when he meets Mr Malcom. Guess he's smarter than I first thought. ;p
Also with the murder scene thing, he looks upset, horrified, and fearful? Did he perhaps worry he had done the deed or did he do something similar back in the US? He especially freaks (as much as the stone cold gunslinger will allow him) when he hears one woman say, "Damn him that done this. Damn him to hell."
On vampires: Human seeming vampires were taken out with simple bullets (head shots specifically). They could have been blood servants or what WOD called Ghouls. Later, an inhuman looking vampire ignores the bullets but is put into torpor, or death, by a sword cane to the heart. This is Mr Malcom's sword, so it could be something special.
Perhaps younger vamps have more vulnerabilities than the elder?
Onto Ep02:
When he wakes at the dock, they show his hand wound. It looks like punchtures on his palm, deep within his palm near the center and base of the fingers, but the top of his hand has no wound. Unlikely this is a bite wound after all, unless the top of his hand was protected?
