Order of the Witchfinder

Grim and cold individuals who have dedicated their lives to the eradication the root cause of corruption in the world. Witchfinders are among the most inquisitive and observant of all blood hunters. Viewing their skills at hemocraft as a last resort, or a means of better tracking their quarry, a witchfinder will never lean on the "gifts" of the Hunters Bane. Instead, they train heavily to spot and follow signs of corruption and evil to their source through tracking, silent observation, research, interrogation, and sometimes...torture. Only when their true prey is cornered, or they themselves have no other choice, do they unleash the power of their hemocraft. Where others might decimate a pack of vampire spawn, a Witchfinder will instead capture one of them for interrogation, or allow them to escape, to gleam information on their master. This order is made up of blood hunters who prefer a more surgical, but no less brutal approaches to rooting out evil. They see the monstrous as undeserving of pity or remorse. Fit only to receive the mercy of death. Among their greatest enemies are those who deal in occult rituals and dark magics. This logic often applies to any who collude with the evils they seek, for the servants of demons and witches are just as guilty as the monsters themselves. Creatures of evil and darkness must always be wary, for Witchfinders do not give up on their hunts, pursuing their targets with a fixation bordering on paranoid obsession. Still, they know enough not to burn all bridges, and are more than willing to work with anyone if it means achieving their current goals.
