Lucia Herrera Villarea is a Nosferatu Lancea Sanctum (Combatant) vampire from Mexico.
Overview[]
"There... those glyphs on the wall there. See them? Unbelievable! From Guerrero to Campeche, we have searched for this rotten bastard, and he has the gall to sign his own tomb and mark it with the sign of a god. Tonight I shall have his blood."
Embraced and trained for war, Lucia is a weapon of the Lancea Sanctum in its ongoing effort to erase the influence of pre-Conquest vampires from Mexico. It didn't take much to get her on board once the local Bishop showed her how much her hometown suffered under the unholy power of the native elders, she willingly dedicated herself to the cause. When the Sanctified brought a torpid ancient in their city low, she was at the forefront of the final assault.
For years, she and her fellow crusaders combed the city, searching for others. In time, she was convinced that none remained. Against the advice of her Bishop, she decided to take the hunt of the road. Lucia recruited two strong mortals, gifting them with the power of her blood and piling into the camper trailer that would serve as her mobile base of operations for years to come. She now has almost two decades of hunting under her belt, and the experience has only toughened her resolve. Six vampires of the old country have fallen to her, and with each, she has descended further into single-minded intent. Two years ago, she committed the ultimate sin, diablerizing one of her enemies in the ecstatic throes of battle. The next time around, the temptation proved too strong to resist, and she did it again. Now she hunts with mire dogged hunger than ever before. An addiction to the power of old has arisen in her, matching the fervor of her faith.
Description[]
Lucia is an unremarkable, dust-swept brunette who appears to be in her mid-20s. Astute observers might notice the knife holsters in her jacket, and those with the sight will see the fierce black lines in her aura - if they bother to look. Her unobtrusive presence has a lot to do with her training, and she does whatever is necessary to back it up whenever she's out in public, often playing the meek wanderer. No matter what she does, though, she can never null the intense zeal reflected in her dark eyes.
