Otto ChriekOtto Chriek is a vampire, a fictional character featured in the Discworld novels of Terry Pratchett, specifically The Truth and Monstrous Regiment. Otto is one of the "Black Ribboners", vampire "teetotallers" who have forsworn drinking human blood. Due to the supernatural nature of their "addiction", Black Ribboners must replace their craving for blood with something else; in Otto's case, he has become obsessed with light and photography. Since very bright light reduces vampires to dust until someone administers a drop of blood, the flash salamander he uses constantly causes Otto problems. He now carries a small phial of blood on a chain around his neck, which smashes and reconstitutes him if his salamander goes off too brightly. Otto experiments with "dark light", the light you find when you go out the other side of darkness, but this has its own unique problems, such as not necessarily illuminating the present to the imp inside his camera (which paints the pictures he takes). Most other people also object to being photographed with it, out of beliefs of it being "Unholy" or simply being uncomfortable with it. Chreik, Otto
