Dev_Null is also a character in Nihilistic Software's game Vampire: The Redemption. He makes an appearance in the latter half of the game in New York City. Not only is Dev Null a vampire, but also a cracker. One would generally call him a hacker, but the use of the term in his case is a slight misconception, due to the media's bastardization of what hacker really means. It is very William Gibson that the computer wizard in the story is named after a computer term. In addition, he is a Malkavian, a specific bloodline of vampire; all of them are insanein one way or another. He not only helps move the plot along, but offers some comic relief to a story marked by tragedy and the struggle to retain ones humanity while becoming a beast forced to prey on the human population you once belonged to.
