A woman crouches low, raising her firearm to her shoulder, peering through the spectral spyglass along its barrel. She singles out her prey and loads a silver bullet. A bloody man, slashed by a whirlwind of wraiths, raises a reliquary infused with the stolen finger of a demon, scattering the spirits. A youngster hides under his bed as the sounds from the other room grow more ferocious, suddenly with a bang and a thud the house goes quiet, stepping through the door is a pair of leather boots, slick with the blood of the creature terrorizing the village.

These are Witch Hunters, rangers who use Apparatuses of the Occult to fight the wielders of Evil magic. A hunter of those who would abuse dark powers to bring evil to the world and its people. Witch Hunters are either made from survivors of the trauma of dark or Occult magic, or crafted in clandestine schools to fight the dark and those who wield it. Contrary to their name, they do not only hunt Witches, but any being who dabbles in evil magic with or is haunted by the Occult. Witches, Warlocks, Werewolves, and Vampires are some of their common prey, but any dark threat to the people of the world are targeted with single-minded determination. Witch Hunters sacrifice part of themselves to become hunters of the dark, using mind-bending implements of the darkness  to protect the light. They often live short and dangerous lives to protect the people who might still fear their methods.
