VANESSA:
The SLAYER
Signature Phrase:
You’re not that scary with a stake through

your heart, are you?
BACKGROUND
The Darkness took everything from
you. Now you seek revenge.
What happened that night?
I am Vanessa, and my family was slau-

ghtered by a herd of vampires when I
was 14 years old. Now my only goal is
to exterminate the blood-sucking race
from the face of the earth.
How long have you been in the city?

I was born there, but since I embarked
on my training I have never stayed in
one place. New Eden is immense and I
have seen places I had never heard of.
How did you train for revenge?

Silva, my teacher, is the man who
raised me and taught me everything I
know today about these creatures and
their weaknesses. Unfortunately he
passed away and now I am alone again.
Who’s your prey?

Those dirty bloodsuckers of course! I
will not stop until there is even one
of them around on the face of the
earth.
