In Blue Moon the number of active, licensed executioners is ten. She can name eight of them, herself included, two of whom are retired. In Bloody Bones Anita states that there are less than a dozen licensed vampire executioners in the United States.
Vampire executioners are initially very rare. For the most part shapeshifters and other such creatures are handled by bounty hunters, who are not initially included in the plans for getting a federal status. When licensing is introduced just prior to Bloody Bones there are plans for giving the vampire executioners a federal status, but also of expanding their mandate to other supernatural critters, which Anita sees as a potential problem. Most vampire executioners only kill vampires, but Anita Blake and a few others also investigate and battle other supernatural beings and even the humans who serve them. He is still serving his sentence at the time of The Harlequin, five years later. The message still didn't really go through until one of the vampire executioners went to jail for murder. While Magnus was drawing power from him, Bloody Bones was mortal, and Anita with the help of Xavier and Larry was able to kill him.The first people to take the job were those who used to slay vampires back when they could all be killed on sight, and some of those new executioners were so trigger-happy that the government had to strip the vampire executioner credentials from some of them to hammer in the point that waiting for a warrant is really required. However, when Serephina broke hear deal with Bloody Bones he attacked her and Magnus, stabbing them both with his greatsword. Ultimately, Serephina and Raymond Stirling were able to trick Anita into freeing Bloody Bones. After he escaped, he was confined to the ground by the combined power of the available Indian, fey, and Christian magic and remained there until Magnus began using his blood, centuries later. by Llyn Bouvier, Magnus and Dorcas's ancestor, who used his blood to make a potion that increased his fey power. A children's boggle, Bloody Bones was a true immortal and lived to punish guilty children. Rawhead and Bloody Bones, was a fey approximately ten feet tall with a bloody, pulsing head. The veins pulsed and throbbed with blood flowing through them, but it didn't bleed." - Anita Blake
Ragged clothes clung to huge, square shoulders. The fingernails were long and dirty, almost clawlike. " A hand came out of the darkness, large enough to palm my head.
