The Whitaker Clan is a group of vampires that moved to La Luna, California towards the end of World War II. Having come to California in search of resources outside of a war-ravaged Europe, the Whitaker clan found refuge in the sleepy town of La Luna. Headed by Edward Whitaker, they are one of the thirteen recognized clans in vampire society and as such have lived an unlife of privilege and power. The Whitakers are connected to many different institutions in La Luna, ranging from The Heretics M.C., the City Council, and some local businesses. They also function as La Luna's primary liasion to Red Market activities as well.
The Whitaker clan is primarily composed of vampires, though there are also several ghoul families within the area that take the surname as well. While many supernatural townsfolk understand the reality of the Whitakers' status, to the town at large they’re recognized as a large and affluent family with many, many cousins.
Despite this power, the Whitakers are not unstoppable. Several attacks by hunter groups, such as The Saints, have left them vulnerable and without a surplus of members. Once such an attack led to the death of Mary Whitaker, a local entrepreneur who owned the town’s gas station, by her former hunter spawn Zeki Tiryaki.
The Whitakers are hungry for power and will do anything they can in order to have it secured.
Currently, the head of the clan, Edward Whitaker, is running for Mayor against young upstart Alexander Albrooks. His "cousin", Herod Whitaker is president of the Heretics M.C..
