Daniel was one of Stefan’s when he was human. He was more fragile than he appeared and he died while he fed Andre; who turned him and made him his153
Stefan was in the habit of talking with his people155
Stefan is seldom typical of anything; the stereotype of a sheep is present here, but not all encompassing162

Doesn't kill those in his menagerie165
He doesn’t kill those in his menagerie; When he gets them, they have to stay a couple of years, but after that they're free to go; It takes that long for him to establish enough of a connection to make sure they won’t go telling anyone they meet about vampires165

There are fourteen that live at his house; and maybe a dozen more who visit occasionally207
Stefan began to be concerned about the same things that caused the fae to reveal themselves. He told the seethe—and the ruling council of vampires—that they could no longer live as they were and expect to survive. He had already been maintaining a large menagerie because he didn’t kill his people—he has a reputation for being softhearted207
Stefan was hoping Marsilia could push some of the other vampires into more humane treatment of their menageries209
Not many vampires can afford to support as many people as he is209
Most vamps cannot control as many people as Stefan. There aren’t many vampires who can make their sheep love them209
