Order of the Sanguine Leech

The original Order of the Sanguine Leech learned their magic from the vampires, its current members have rediscovered their ancestors secrets of hemocraft and refined them for combat draining their enemies lifeforce to bolster their own. Sanguine Leeches seek out and thrive in the heat of battle, obsessing over the mystery of how their ancestors got their abilities, and the unholy hungering power that they possess. These blood hunters make it their life’s work to study and understand their abilities. Some Sanguine Leeches seek to control their hunger whilst others embrace it revelling in the carnage they bring.
