Knox Harrington is a ghoul from Santa Monica whose master is Bertram Tung, a local Nosferatu legend.
Biography[]
Personable, overzealous and upbeat, Knox is introduced to the player early in-game, via bumping into him in front of the Santa Monica clinic or inside The Asylum. He immediately identifies the player character as a Kindred, and explains what a ghoul is.
Not much is known about Knox's past, other than the encounter that led to him becoming Tung's ghoul, and that his previous occupation was being a bounty hunter, employed by Arthur Kilpatrick. He somewhat affectionately refers to Tung as the "nasty dude". Knox is extremely happy with his new status as ghoul, taking the time to explain all the benefits he has gained if asked by the player. By speaking with Knox, the player can obtain valuable information about ghouls in general, as well as a quest that helps to eventually direct you to Tung, allowing you to advance further in the main quest line.
Knox is described by Tung as being "able to track like a bloodhound". Coming across as initially motor-mouthed and unsuspecting, it is insinuated that he is much cleverer than let on, going so far as to trick the fledgling if their Inspection is not high enough (less than Inspection 3).
Knox is identifiable by his enthusiastic manner of speaking. He will often punctuate dialogue with exclamations such as "aw, man!" or "hey girl/pal, what's up?".
Quests[]

- Knox tells the fledgling that he was tasked by Bertram with monitoring The Cathayan but is now being followed by his target. He asks for assistance in tracking down and killing this "Asian vampire".
