The organisation's main security lead, Vaughan Rice was a former soldier most of whose platoon was exterminated in a friendly fire incident during the 1991 Gulf War. Discharged with post-traumatic stress disorder, he was quickly recruited into the organisation to help eliminate the vampire infection. Vaughan shows very little emotion in his role, frequently referring to the vampires as 'leaches' and not hesitating to kill anyone who he suspects has been infected. In the fifth episode of the series, he is abducted and placed in a sealed garage with 4 coffins timed to open and only barely escapes with his life when he causes one to explode and break open the door.
