the orange haired boy

In the book The Saga of Larten Crepsley Birth of a Killer. Larten lived hi whole life with his cousin and best friend Vur Horsten. Larten and Vur lived in the same house together with Lartens other brother and sister. they both also actually work together in a silk factory where they both work under the rules of their ruthless manager. In the book their manager dyes all of his workers hair different colors to tell which part of the factory they work in. Vur and Lartens hair was dyed orange, the orange color hair that Larten Crepsley the famous vampire is known for.

Through out the whole vampire world Larten is known for his organge hair. All his life thats what he had to remember about Lartens past and in this book we find out about it. Larten's hair just doesn't reminde him of his old job and ruthless manager but of Vur and the birth of him being a killer. Lartens hair represents all of the hardships that he had to face and his life before he was a vampire. And the reason why the hair dye will never go away because it shows that Larten will never let go of Vur and will never forget about that night when Vur died and that same night when he killed the person responsible.

I think that Vur was a major effect on Larten and what Lartens actions wer. And Larten never once forgot about Vur for he did all of this for Vur he got his revenge for Vur and even became a great Vampire.
