History
After a car accident took away Ash's parents and siblings, they faced a hard and
lonely reality. They refused to let it destroy them and took refuge in their faith.
They made it their life's mission to spread comfort to the downtrodden and aid to
the ailing. After experiencing a haunting while on a spiritual retreat, they realized
that becoming a beacon of light in the world means banishing the darkness. If a
monster craves peace and redemption, Keaton gives it to them. If it just wants
to cause harm, Zamora repays it in kind.

HIS LAST TRICK
Harley Blackwell
Righteous Street Fighter
Harley was born with a chip on their shoulder. Fights on the playground became fights in juvenile
hall, and it wasn’t until they found a group of MMA enthusiasts at a local gym that they finally found
someplace to channel their anger. That anger rushedback when the gym got foreclosed, and the property

the monster into ash, they took a trophy from its lair, a pair of leather gloves. Since then, they and their
gloves have been knocking monsters back to where they belong.

When Joey served in the Marines, their head for logistics saved lives. As a member of the logistics team
for the American branch of monster hunting corporation Monster X, they were responsible for making
sure the company’s supply chain of supernatural phenomena remained stable. When they realized both
that the “supernatural phenomena” they were talking about was very real, and that a stable supply line
did not mean protecting the health and safety of its field agents, Joey went solo. They’ll use their tactical
genius and her firearms prowess to keep fellow Hunters alive.

HIS LAST TRICK
Sal Jacobs
Supernatural Con Artist
There isn’t a mark that Sal can’t milk for everything they’ve got. Sure, not all suckers deserve it, but Sal’s
the master of washing them out and getting away clean. Or, at least, that’s what they thought until they
swindled a family that turned out to be a pack of man-eating werewolves. Their guile and a machete
got them out of there alive with fewer than ten broken bones. The attack left Sal with two things: a
realization they could focus their talent on more deserving targets, and a strange ability to paralyze
monsters.
