Slay Vampires, Werewolves, and Other Terrible Creatures

An Exterminator suffers no monster to live. Trained in the art of slaying Aberrations, Fiends, and Undead, you stand against evil where others falter, and draw your blade before others recognize a threat. Grand schemes and plots are less important than retribution against monsters which stalk the night, and your thirst for such retribution is unquenchable. There is always another werewolf to be slain, another vampire to be staked, another demon to be banished; people rarely thank you, but you find satisfaction enough in your work.
