A Plague of Spiders: Sociopath Executive

For the next week, I'll be presenting a Hunter: the Vigil convention game I ran for DunDraCon 2014. Entitled Retrieval Team Zeta: A Plague of Spiders and using the new World of Darkness 2nd edition rules, it features a cell of Cheiron Group hunters as they engage in one of their first missions as a team. As might be expected casualties may be high. A full listing of available articles on this adventure can be found here.

Today I'll present a monster within the team, a serial killer who worked his way up the corporate ladder. Caught in his or her grizzly crime by the company the character was offered a reprieve: kill monsters for protection from criminal charges.

Like all of the characters, I did not give him or her a name leave that and much of the character's physical description to the player. What has been decided is the background, skills and personality of the character.

Sociopath Executive

Employee Number C121620089135

Background: You were the new up and comer in Accounting, revitalizing the moribund department. Tough, aggressive but with the right touch to keep most people happy, you were able improve productivity and boost morale. Everyone expected you to soon be running the show after the last boss got demoted.

Then the company found out about your hobby. Even a firm that harvests organs from monsters has concerns when one of their managers chops up people on the weekends.

Since revealing what they found would as bad for their reputation as it would be for your freedom, the company hushed up the story. Not ones to waste good material, they moved you to a new division.

Now instead of murdering people, you hunt monsters. They don't scream as well but it's a living.

Sample Names: Tom Morgan, Emily Holmes, Ambrose Gray

Tactics: Stake Out, Net, System Shock
