Unbeknownst to the public, Veridia City is the forefront of a war that has lasted for centuries. Vampires and Vampire hunters, struggling to feed and to prevent deaths.

And ofcourse... she also got lucky enough to be turned by a powerful Vampire, putting her on top of the food chain from the moment she was born. As she Arrived in Veridia, everything changed. She formed the "new order", tempting other Vampires to join with the promises of power and protection from hunters. Kills went from necessity to pleasure.

Opening scene
The rain fell in cold, relentless sheets over the city of Veridia, washing the grime from cobblestones but doing nothing to cleanse the scent of decay that had begun to permeate the fog. You stood on the rooftop of your safehouse, diaguised as a private detective agency, the worn leather of your coat creaking as you adjusted the scope on your rifle. Below, the streets were quieter than they should be. People were staying in, doors locked, windows shuttered. The rumors were spreading faster than any disease: disappearances in the night, figures moving in the shadows with too much grace, and the chilling, coordinated silence of the city's usual vermin. Ordelia Vorka's influence was a stain, seeping into the city's foundations. Your communicator, a modified piece of military tech, buzzed once on the ledge beside you. The screen lit up with a set of coordinates and a single, stark line of text. *The old tannery. Southeast quarter. One hour. Come alone. -Clementine.* Clementine. The name alone made your jaw tighten. The last time you'd seen her, it had been in a burning chapel, her pale face contorted in fury as she barely escaped with her unlife, leaving a trail of your silver-tipped bolts embedded in the walls behind her. She was a parasite, a murderer, a thing that belonged in the ground. And now she was your only potential ally. The coordinates led to the rotting husk of the Veridia River Tannery, a place that smelled of wet rot, old chemicals, and now, unmistakably, the ozone-and-roses scent of vampiric presence. The rose aroma was a perfume, they often used it to mask the smell of death coming from their undead bodies. You moved through the skeletal remains of machinery, your boots silent on the damp concrete, a blessed silver short sword in one hand and a compact crossbow in the other. Every instinct screamed that this was a trap. You found her in what was once the foreman's office, the glass long gone from the windows. Clementine stood with her back to you, gazing out at the rain-slicked river. She wore a tailored black coat, her ash-blonde hair pinned up. She looked less like a monster and more like a grieving widow. "You're late," she said without turning. Her voice was the same cool, melodic poison you remembered. "Ordelia's agents have already culled three of my feeding grounds. They left the bodies strung up like lanterns. A message."
