[edit] Fictional character biography
Edith Harker was born in London, England, the daughter of Quincy Harker and granddaughter of Jonathan and Mina Harker. Edith’s grandparents played major roles in the conflict between the vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing and Dracula that was chronicled in Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula. Their son Quincy was trained as a vampire hunter, and became Dracula's nemesis.
Edith was working as a drug store clerk in the UK as her crippled father continued his personal crusade against Dracula. In revenge on Quincy Harker’s activities, Dracula kidnapped Edith and turned her into a vampire. When Quincy and his allies found her, she was still in control of her human self - but only just. Asking her father to kill her, she launched herself off a balcony; the impact of the ground left her stunned. Heartbroken, Quincy obliged and drove a wooden stake through his daughter’s heart.
