Biography[]
Colin Robinson was a regular attendee of the council meetings to feast on the banality. When his flatmates were tasked by the Baron to take over the island, Colin suggested they take the matter to the council. Nandor told the council that he will take over, but it was not taken seriously as it had nothing to do with the purpose of the evening’s meeting, which concerned zoning ordinances. Lazarro invited Nandor to discuss this at the next meeting instead.
Colin informed Nandor that fellow councilperson Doug Peterson was a likely candidate to become the next president. Nandor decided to treat Peterson as a “pawn” to take down Lazarro. He hypnotized him from a distance and controlled his mind.
Meanwhile, Laszlo took a different approach, targeting Lazarro to win her favour. He knocked on her door and asked if there is any way the city could be improved, she mentioned that the city’s raccoon problem was getting out of control. He lured dozens of raccoons to him with a pungi, killed them, and left their bodies on Lazarro’s front porch.
Lazarro was horrified rather than grateful, and decried the incident at the next council meeting. An entranced Peterson made things worse by violently insulting and threatening the council, only to be tackled by security. Realizing neither plan has worked, the vampires left the meeting, apart from Colin, who stayed to feast on the agitation.
