Everyone is gonna pick Blade, Buffy, D, Alucard. Etc. So I went with something different.

My team is called Nigrum sapientia, or Black Wisdom, and is composed of folks who not only know how to fight vampires, but know what it means to be a walker of the night. These people know that you can kill and kill and the cycle will repeat but if you know what causes it, Cain, Dracula whatever, then you might just be able to kill it permanently. See, anyone can put together a team of hunters. They'll happily go off and kill whatever they want. But they are ignorant in their methods, for unless you can strike at the very heart of vampirism, you will never be able to truly defeat it.

My first pick of Nigrum sapientia is Caterina Sforza (Trinity Blood). In Trinity, Caterina is head of the A.X. or Inquisitorial department. This department is a Vatican sanctioned department that answers exclusively to the Pope. They hunt all manner of nasty creatures but mainly deal with vampires. It is this experience as to why I picked Caterina, as someone overseeing Nigrum sapientia, I need someone who knows how to handle the intelligence, personnel and financial sides of running a Vampire Hunting unit. Caterina having served with the A.X. makes her ideal in all these assets. That and the fact she probably has a large personal monetary fund stashed away somewhere means Nigrum sapientia remains an independent unit for quite some time.

The second member is Serana (Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Dawnguard). Serana has been locked away for a really long time, some estimates place it at around 4,000 years. Despite not being as knowledgeable as some others to vampire lore, Serana knows things that only she could answer. Being one of the few pure blooded vampires in Skyrim, this makes her a tremendous asset. Serana can serve Nigrum sapientia in several ways. She knows the rituals of vamparism better than anyone, her blood is a powerful tool, said to be able to travel different dimensions. Serana also carries with her an Elder Scroll, a powerful artifact that is said to grant visions of the future, but she can not read it for it might blind her. Although Serana may be different to other candidates, I do believe she is the right choice for Nigrum sapentia.

The third member is Beckett (Vampire: The Masquerade). Beckett is a natural loner, preferring field work and hands-on investigations to being stuck in libraries with dusty books. Beckett offers a rare insight into Vamparism, he has been observing and studying the natural vampire world for over 300 years. His genus of Vamparism is that of Gengrel, meaning he has an animal form he change shift into, that of a white wolf. Beckett's role in Nigrum sapientia would be that of a retriever. He would study the location of powerful artifacts and bring them back to be protected. Beckett would also be able to hunt down vampires in hiding and pass this information on to more experienced hunters. Sometimes, Beckett would be gone for weeks at a time, chasing down some stray lead or something that just got his attention. But make no mistake, without Beckett, Nigrum sapientia loses a lot of it's field experience.

The forth member Nikola Tesla (Sanctuary). Ahhh, Nikola. He really is the brains behind Nigrum sapientia. Preferring a laboratory to field work, Nikola is the resident scientist. His genus of Vamparism is Sanguine Vamperis and having deliberately infected himself with a sample of pure blood, he himself became a vampire. He's been trying ever since to find out what happened to his kin and he will use that brilliant intellect to find out what happened. After an accident where he accidentally cured himself, he developed magnetism and was able to find another sample of pure blood. He also has a taste for fine wine and is incredibly disappointed if they're not available. Nikola Tesla is regarded as one of the finest scientists the world has ever seen and make no mistake, being a vampire doesn't change that. Nikola would run in house experiments and intelligence working for Nigrum sapientia, he would work on a device that would allow him to read Serana's Elder Scroll one minute and then be co-ordinating with Beckett about the location of other artifacts the next and all the while trying to find the "Antedelivians" as Beckett would put it. Make no mistake, Nikola loves working for Nigrum sapientia but he wants to get his hands on more pure blood samples.

And that's Nigrum sapientia. Caterina would be the main head of the unit, Nikola would work around the laboratory, Beckett would work in the field and Serana would help where-ever she could, be that with Nikola on an experiment or with Beckett investigating Vampiric Rituals.

When it comes to hunting vampires, you need a network of dependable, smart people who can get you the intelligence you need to defeat such monsters. Remember: It takes brains, not brawn, to kill a monster.

(Yes I know this is abit long but it's excellent creative writing practice).
