It occurred to me that there's a lot of facts hidden in the comic that people never the less keep wondering about (ages and so forth)--so in an effort to put them at everyone's fingertips, I went through the comic page-by-page and listed everything that seemed... well, relevant.
Page links are attached, as well, so you can check sources and surrounding text for context and content.
And if there's anything I missed, by all means let me know.
----------
Clyde –19 at time of story
Male (though femmy), from Sydney, Nova Scotia.
ETA: Not femmy, just biologically female
vampirates.comicgenesis.com/latest.html
Has mother, father and brother (deceased: vampirates.comicgenesis.com/pages/202.html)

Rules about Vampirism: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/052.html
One: Don't bite anyone. Ever. You go to jail for life—felony?
Two: Blood from blood-banks.
Three: Probably not hereditary(?) vampirates.comicgenesis.com/pages/244.html
Four: Don't mention the Paddy Murphy song to Patrick. Lesser men have died.

Drugs are something you have to qualify for: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/058.html
Apparently through some sort of worker health care programme, as it's up to the companies. Some companies just keep a tighter watch on their vampire employees, thus keeping them under control.
Drugs can also be bought in pharmacies and blood banks, presumably with a prescription: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/094.html

Vampirism also makes a person stronger—while not legally dead, it does take more then a fatal wound to kill them: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/115.html, vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/180.html

The Vampirates story takes place in the near future, 2012 to be precise: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/119.html

Murphy mentions his mum: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/062.html
She's been dead 100 years.
Murphy also states he's been a vampire over 100 years:http://vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/142.html
Statement collaborated here: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/189.html, age 147 + years alive

Ira: Entered plot two years ago: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/083.html
Bitten: One year ago: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/066.html
Ira's 26 when we meet him, and thus, 27 when bitten: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/086.html

John Allen, alias Tractor Jack: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/083.html
His views on Vampirism vs Drugs: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/095.html

Hassan—92 in a two-year flashback; 94 in current canon: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/097.html
Two sisters and a wife. Wife (deceased), moved to Dubai with the children. Two sons are dead, but

Nadia,
the daughter, is presumably still alive. vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/098.html
Hassan last talked to Nadia about 40 years ago.
In photograph provided, Nadia appears mid-teens, wearing a t-shirt.
Also, some hints that she has seen Hassan bite someone: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/166.html

Maya Gray, first appearance: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/149.html
--Age unknown, appears early-twenties, “college student” at the time
--Age a vampire, unknown, however, was a vampire “a few years back”, prior to present canon, as she had attended the march/protest
-High probability of government experimentation due to neutralization of vampirism disease in one eye; obviously now mad as a hatter
--Recieved her eyewound during a rally protesting the mandatory implementation of vampirism drugs. Unknown chemical shot into the crowd prevented localized healing of her eye vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/212.html
--Relatively new to Jack's crew, due to the fact that Remy does not know who she is personally, nor through hearsay in the operation. In fact, Remy only knows who Maya is through news reports of the protest vampirates.comicgenesis.com/pages/210.html , which means she has been on the crew less then ~2 years

Remy: First appearance, some years (unknown) prior to current canon, First Mate on the Jolly Roger.
Left the Jolly Roger three years prior to current canon suddenly: vampirates.comicgen.com/pages/099.html

I agree with Spammich that you have too much time on your hands. Nevertheless, thanks for the point about how Nadia has possibly seen Hassan bite someone; I'd been bemused by that page before.

I... actually didn't have too much time on my hands, contrary to popular opinion.
I have like, five essays due. So to keep myself from dying all over my keyboard, I would occasionally take a break and parse through the pages, see what I could find.

And yes, I am OCD about it. I hate not-knowing what's going on in the plot, and things like ages/nationalities/relationships will quite literally keep me up at night. I don't know why. I just... like knowing the nitty gritties.
Very detail focused, I am.
(Its actually why I have severe issues handing in anything on time. I like knowing everything there is to know about the subject I'm writing on, and then my papers explode to inhuman lengths and get handed in late. My TA for my civilization course is bemused/absolutely despises me for it.)

But hey. Now, whenever someone asks ages/whether or not vampirism can be transmitted via contact/who/what/where/when/why? You can just link them to this and save yourself the effort.
That's mostly why I wrote it. =__=

My English tutor last semester decided that I was at once a perfectionist and a fatalist, because I put my essays off to the last minute because I get my best writing done when I have no time left because I know that I have to work without distractions and therefore it flows better and I get crazy bursts of inspiration. However, my other reason for putting them off is that otherwise I start to get all nit-picky about them and decide they're not good enough, but if I leave it late then I think "well, I did the best I could do given my procrastination, so it's too bad if it's not as good as it should've been". It saves me from going madder than I already am (I think it would be fun to be in a straight-jacket in a padded cell with other people, because you could bounce off the walls and all over the place).

My actual purpose in looking at this thread was to say that I think it should be stickied so we don't have to hunt through for it if we want to look up any of this handy information.

Jones knows these are trufax. Not only do I keep myself up at night, I keep -her- up at night with it, too. <3<3
I do love you, though. And next time you come over to chill, I swear to jesus I am making a pie. And.. and.. I wanna watch Confessions of a Call-girl now.. U_U

Aaawe yay stickies!
<3 Also, yeah. I'll update whenever new information becomes available. There was more stuff on Jack, but it wasn't as relevant, I think. And I didn't even bother with Daniel.

Actually, no, there wa---
well, no. No lesbian porn. There was some show about a call-girl, though, that I'm sure someone, somewhere, would call porn. There wasn't a whole lot of sex shown, though.
And lesbian porn is--quite honestly--kind of boring. It's more fun to do then to watch, all told. <_< >_>

We just got drunk and watched Salad Fingers. And ordered pizza. And were pigs about it.
And were completely trashed by 9. >XD

And yes, damn straight I did.

Edited to account for new information on Maya appearing on the current page.

Also, I officially have the BIGGEST crush on her. I'm sorry. She's cute and crazy AND SHE'S IN TORONTO HOLY SHIT.
Om nom nom.
Jones, thank you so much. Like, seriously. I don't even CARE where she's from. Toronto will be known as the city Crazy-Eye Lady first appeared in.
I could just die of happysquiggles.
