Know Your.. Hunter – Caiaphas Smith
Posted by yafka on January 3, 2009
Name: Caiaphas Smith
Hunter
Age: Physical 71 (Actual 176)
Caiaphas’ first encounter with a vampire was when he was 15 years old. He found his neighbor’s wife in the arms of a vampire feasting on the her neck. As soon as the vampire saw Caiaphas it began chasing the boy.
Caiaphas ran to his father’s tool shed and with seconds to spare snapped a hoe over his leg and thrust the wooden spike into the vampire’s chest. He then took out the axe and severed it’s head. From that moment Caiaphas’ life was dedicated to the destruction of vampires.
Using magic he can track and identify Kindred. He’s spent his long life traveling the world, learning many skills and earning many allies. He spends most of his time killing vampires in New England.
To prolong his life until all vampires are dead he drinks vampire blood. But his supply has not been constant, so now he has the bones of a 71 year old (but they’re in better shape than any man 20 years younger.)
The Justicars of the Camarilla issued an edict that all Kindred are to avoid Caiaphas. Anyone willfully breaking this law will be put to death. Any Prince who does not carry out this law will also be put to death. They believe if Caiaphas can be kept away from Kindred vitae for 20 years he will die of natural, old age.
The Camarilla knows he is one of the most dangerous hunters ever. His powerful Faith and drive are phenomenal, as well as his vast knowledge of magic and lore.
