Bert Vaughn, is the owner of Animators Inc. and Anita Blake's boss. We first met him in 'Guilty Pleasures' when Anita
went toe to toe with him about having her consult with a vampire. At that stage in her life, Anita was determined that
she would never work for a vampire. It was one of her early iron-clad rules. That has changed as the series has gone
on and she now sees that just like not all humans are good, not all vampires are evil. Anita doesn't see things in black and
white anymore, more like multitudes of varying shades of grey. Bert is best at making money, and he doesn't always
care how he does that. Anita has always been convinced that if you were to cut Bert, he'd bleed freshly minted money.
Their relationship has always been and will probably always be an armed truce, since Bert doesn't really care who he books
in as a client. If they happen to be dangerous to his employees or the booking has an element of danger in it, he just charges
more for it.
