Murray is a small, muscular man who works on the San Francisco police force for ten years before the vampire Lestat hires him to be a driver and bodyguard for his adopted daughter, Rose, and pays Murray three times his salary on the police force. Murray is loyal to Rose, but is very upset when she begins a passionate affair with her college professor, Dr. Gardner Paleston. When Rose ends the relationship, Gardner kidnaps her and pours deadly poison into her mouth and over her eyes, blinding her and bringing her near death. Murray catches him in the act and shoots Gardner dead. Then he rushes Rose to a vampire clinic run by Fareed and Seth, who save her life and restore her eyesight. After Rose is turned into a vampire, Murray’s services are no longer necessary.
