Arthur Kilpatrick is an 11th Generation vampire. He Embraced his brother Nick Kilpatrick in 1994, and at some point after that, disappeared.[2]
Original History[]
It's not known for certain who the human claiming to be Arthur Kilpatrick is. It's possibly the "B. Kilpatrick" listed on the sign outside the building, covering for his brother's disappearance either willingly or unknowingly via Dominate.
This Arthur Kilpatrick is a bondsman who operates A & B Kilpatrick's Bail Bonds in Santa Monica, part of the nationally-known Kilpatrick Bail Bond family business. He previously hired Knox Harrington as a bounty hunter, and then when Knox left, Carson.
Although casually sexist, Kilpatrick is quite friendly and he is always quick to answer any questions. Kilpatrick also seems to be rather neutral on the rising crime rates in Santa Monica, stating that it "ain't bad for business", which not only reveals a lack of caring about Santa Monica, but his high love for his own business and store. While he likes a bold person, he takes offense if someone makes fun of his weight.

- A Bounty For the Hunter: When first meeting Kilpatrick, he will tell the player that his current and best bounty hunter, Carson, has gone missing. He asks the player to find Carson for him as he cannot leave the office unattended.
- Jumpin' The Bail: After completing A Bounty for the Hunter, Kilpatrick will ask the Player if they can do him one last favor in helping him track down a man called "Muddy" Mike Durbin, who has three warrants for his arrest and missed his last court date.
