Nick Knight is a homicide detective, asigned to the night shift in Toronto. He is often classified as gloomy,reserved and somehow strange. His main reason for this night-work is, as the pathologic Dr. Natalie Lambert describes, "an agravated allergy to sunlight".

However a bit suspicious about Knight's intentions, his chief in the homicide division, Captain Amanda, can't say that the work of Nick and his partner, Don Schanke, is unefficient. Together, the oddly coupled partners deal with strange crimes. But we are led to wonder, what leads Nick to have flashbacks throughout history?

It seems like a normal police drama series, if it wasn't of a slight detail: the fact that Nick, in reality, is Nicolas de Brabant, and had lived in ... 1228.
Forever Knight tells us how our "hero" was seduced by a beautiful woman named Janette du Charme, and fell in the grace of Lucian LaCroix, an unscrupulous vampire of two thousand years, and who wants to keep control above all his "children".

Transformed into a vampire, Nick, at first adored his new "life" as a half-dead. But his own conscience tormentes him, year after year, night after night. And as more of his mortal sensations come back to him, and he begins to distance himself from the Vampire community, and so flees LaCroix's control.

LaCroix wants him back. Janette also wants to feel again, the love which attracted her to Nick. Nick resolves not to drink any more of the blood of the innocents, and swears to himself to try to find a cure for his eternal knight, his vampirism, and a way to be mortal again.

Nick's talent as a police detective comes justly from his powers as a vampire, which help him to find the solutions for his cases. Powers which serve as his ultimate curse. He became a detective in our time. He hopes with the help of Natalie, the only mortal who know's his secret, he will find a cure.
He tries everthing, even substitue the blood of cows he drinks at the moment by syntehic blood, made by Natalie. What seems to give some results, because Nick already can feel a slight pain when he is hurt during his police "life".
But as long LaCroix and Janette are near, Nick's problems seem only to have begun.

For me the show has a nice balance within the presents and past events. The flashbacks from his "historic" life since 1228 contains all the impact in our present life. Makes us think about our mortal condition, our conscience, our life itself. We can see his torment quite well during the episode with his flashbacks to Joana D'Arc. That was a wonderful show in my opinion, and so much more. Schanke gives the show its comical side and lightens up the mostly dark sides of the show.

So, dear authors, I think that is enough background for you to write me and all the readers out there more stories about FOREVER KNIGHT. Does anyone have any suggestions? I even wanna try to write one myself after finishing my new X-Files story, the continuation of the Jungle Heat Saga.
