Order of Saint Hubertus

Overview
The Order of Saint Hubertus is publicly known as a worldwide organization of Catholic Hunters and Wildlife conservationists. Of course, which fits with the ideals that Saint Hubertus was a avid wildlife hunter. Which is only accurate to a degree. In reality, Saint Hubertus was one of the first real Vampire Hunters in the world. He waged a secret war until his death and led a following of disciples that practiced this as well. Hubertus, unfortunately, did not get to live to see the true war of Humans and Vampires but the Church honored his memory with the creation of the Order in the 1300's in privacy. In public, it became something real under the church in the 1600's where it exists today.

The Order of Saint Hubertus answers directly to the Pope and the Vatican. They are highly trained Vampire Hunters that have spent most of their life training to do so. Many are even skilled at hunting Werewolves, but they are considered less of a threat than Vampires.

There strength comes from their faith that they use as a powerful weapon against supernatural beings. All members of Saint Hubertus Vampire Hunters are ordained priests and are expected to act as that.

They are based in the Vatican. But their branch in New York City is located in St Patrick's Cathedral.
