Dracula Hunters

the band · the company · the little band · the hunters · knights of the Cross

The divided hunters converge at Castle Dracula, destroy his household and body before sunset, free Mina, and lose Quincey in victory.

Story so far

Van Helsing destroys the Weird Sisters and seals the castle tomb while the river and horseback teams intercept the Szgany cart. Rifles contain the defenders as Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris break through to the final box.

Jonathan's kukri cuts Dracula's throat and Quincey's bowie enters the heart, reducing the Count to dust and erasing Mina Harker's scar. The company wins its campaign but gathers immediately around Quincey, who dies of his wound rejoicing in Mina's freedom.

Appearance

The surviving expedition members in heavy winter clothes, armed with Winchesters, kukri, bowie knife, crucifixes, and Sacred Host amid snow near a Carpathian castle.

Role

The hunters complete their vow through simultaneous scholarship, protection, logistics, courage, and sacrifice, ending the curse at its ancestral source.

Relationships

Count Dracula — They destroy Count Dracula within moments of his regained power and return to the castle.
Quincey Morris — Their victory costs Quincey Morris his life, making his sacrifice part of the company's permanent memory.
Mina Harker — The disappearance of Mina Harker's scar confirms the objective that bound every route and risk together.
