Conifer Locke is a member of an elite, ancient and secret order. The Order Of The Iron Tigers dates back to the high adventure days when Lady Wildfire founded the monster hunting free company. A tight knit band of highly experienced and capable mercenaries that specialized in slaying monsters of all kinds. If your village, caravan or kingdom was having monster trouble, the Iron Tigers were the ones to call. Through the ages the Iron Tigers passed on the art and 'calling' of monster slaying in the form of a secret order. Surviving descendants of the original Iron Tigers were given a very special education, which included combat training from age six. And the knowledge to destroy a wide variety of creatures. When Conifer was born, her parents had a choice, to raise her as a normal girl, or risk her death and put her through the Iron Tigers' crucible; a dangerous ritual that imbued the child with magical gifts. They made their choice, and their baby girl was among the twenty five percentile that survived the ritual. It was a most difficult decision but based on the growing occurrences of supernatural activity and creatures, they took the gamble with white knuckled prayers. Now, after the crucible, their child had greater than normal strength and reflexes, was extremely resistant to harmful magic, enhanced eyesight that allowed her to 'see' a being's true nature, and the ability to see in the dark. The ritual also made her immune to becoming, or turning into 'something else'; such as a vampire, zombie, lycanthrope,etc. Surviving the ritual earned her the title, 'Nightwalker'; this afforded her great honor and rank within the order. She is one of twenty three Nightwalkers that have exsisted in the last hundred years. Conifer never attended a school, but by the time she was twelve she could speak, read and write five languages, including archaic Latin, and she had the equivalent skills of a blackbelt in both taekwondo and Aikido. By sixteen she had mastered many weapons, both modern and old world. At twenty one she was well on her way to matching her father's kills, and joining the handful of Iron Tigers who's names were written in the Book of Legends. Her weapons include a 9mm with a twenty round clip, loaded with silver jacketed hollow-points filled with mercury, a gun that shoots holy water darts, and a lignum vitae bo staff/cross that's perfect for staking vamps; just to name a few of the many weapons at her disposal.
Her contacts set up a meeting with a small, but affluent church group in New Orleans who wanted to hire her services. Seems the old city had a vampire infestation. With the Feds kept out of the loop, and the local law in over their heads, someone had to do something. The few local vamp slayers were dropping like flies. The night fiends were unified, organized and well on their way to completely controlling the Crescent City. The group, representing several local churches, placed a substantial bounty on vampires and offered Conifer a very nice incentive bonus. This is what her calling was all about, this is what she was born for! |
