The Indigo Spell[]
Neil Raymond was brought to Palm Springs for Jill's extra protection after Sydney phoned Donna Stanton when she was freed from the Golden Lily. Unlike the others, Neil was not made a relative.
The Fiery Heart[]
Neil goes with the group, excluding Sydney, to Clarence's house for their feeding on Friday. It is seen that Jill and Angeline have a crush on Neil because of his accent. At the house, he told everyone that in his sophomore year at Devon, they made the dhampirs live on the moors for three days, and they could only eat twigs and anything they could find (though curiously, he said "Devonshire", which is a common American mistake when talking about the English county of Devon, as well as saying 'sophomore', which is also American). Adrian and Eddie find him to be either truthful or making it all up to gain the girls' affections. He came with Jill when Adrian was taking her out for supplies for school, where it was found that he had never killed or fought off Strigoi, unlike Eddie, and Adrian kept teasing him. Neil has also joined the wrestling team, to which Adrian tells him that he doesn't deserve to win his matches because he is a dhampir, then tells him that Eddie faked an ankle injury to get out of basketball because Eddie didn't want glory that he doesn't deserve.
Neil was chosen by Adrian to go with him to Dallas, Texas, to see a nearly restored Olive Sinclair. In Texas, Neil is seen to have developed feelings for Olive Sinclair, as it is seen that he has remained in contact with her after leaving Texas. He then went with Adrian and Sydney to Court, where he was chosen to have the restored Spirit magic tattoo so that he can never turn into a Strigoi; he got a cross on his shoulder. He was involved in the car crash with Adrian and Sydney and was with them for two days at a Bed and Breakfast, where he worked out that Adrian and Sydney were in love. Wanting to test out if the tattoo had really worked, he asked Sydney and Eddie to come with him to Los Angeles to test the tattoo against a Strigoi. Neil offered himself as bait to the Strigoi, where he was bitten, but eventually the Strigoi was disgusted by his blood. Neil was out of the fight due to the endorphins in his system.
He was present when Eddie told Adrian that Sydney had been captured by the Alchemists and taken to Re-Education; he was also seen trying to help the group find Sydney. He also learned that Sydney is a witch when he saw her light a fire after the car crash to keep them warm.

Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Danger Intuition: Dhampirs have a preternatural "sense" of when danger is near. This is in part due to their strong instincts and sharp reflexes.
- Daytime Walking: Unlike the Strigoi, Dhampir can walk around during the day like humans do.
- Enhanced Agility: Dhampir possess greater agility than the Moroi but are not as agile as the Strigoi. Training is required to completely hone this level of agility. They also possess enhanced reflexes and flexibility, which further enhance their combat abilities.
- Enhanced Beauty: Dhampirs are considered to possess natural beauty and height owing to their Moroi ancestry, but to a lesser degree due to hybridization with humans.
- Enhanced Endurance: The Dhampir's highly advanced musculature produces fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than that of a human. The Dhampir's bodily tissues are harder and more resistant to certain types of injuries than the bodies of normal humans.
- Enhanced Memory: Dhampir have great memory and can recall thoughts and memories much more easily than humans.
- Enhanced Metabolism: Dhampir have a naturally high metabolism, which enhances their physical abilities. Thanks to this enhanced metabolism, Dhampir are resistant to diseases and most toxins, but not alcohol.
- Enhanced Senses: A Dhampir's five senses are greatly heightened. Dhampir senses are nearly as strong and sensitive as those of a Moroi.
- Enhanced Strength: Dhampir are exceptionally strong, allowing them to defend against and potentially kill a Strigoi. They can lift objects three times their body weight. This strength is naturally greater than that of a Moroi's.
- Night Vision: Dhampir are able to see in the dark at night.
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Dhampir heal faster and more effectively than humans. Wounds such as burns and other injuries can heal within a few hours. Their increased metabolism only improves this ability.
- Species Detection: Dhampir are able to distinguish between Strigoi, Moroi, witches, and ordinary humans via enhanced vision and enhanced smell. They can also distinguish whether a Strigoi was human, Moroi, or Dhampir before they were created.
Abilities[]
- Martial Arts: Neil is a fully trained guardian, having the ability to take down his opponent using martial arts without any form of weapon.
- Weapon Adept: As a fully trained and educated guardian, Neil is able to use any form of weaponry against his opponents. He is able to kill his opponents with a silver stake.
