Those who go down the path of vampirism often do not do so by their own volition, either they are forced vampire blood, tricked into adding it into their herbal mixture, or else their
hand is forced. For the Order of the Vampire is one that stands on the precipice of evil, and it is very easy for hunters to fall, becoming the the monsters that they so hate.
Occasionally a Blood Hunter is arrogant enough to choose this Order, but those ones usually do not last that long; hubris is not a favourable trait at the best of times.
However, the path of a vampiric Blood Hunter is not all bad, those who do end up walking this path have learn how to beguile and bewitch their enemies. Making them easier prey
when they finally go in for the kill. They also find an affinity for the darkness, more so than most Blood Hunters as they learn how to skulk in the shadows with ease. Therefore those
who do end up in this order tend to find themselves manipulating the battlefield to their advantage. After all, there are no rules that say the fight has to be fair.
