Marksman of Ra

A  Marksman of Ra is a person, almost exclusively human (with exceptions), that hunts vampires or vampire hybrids usually with the intention of permanently destroying them. Marksman often keep themselves physically and mentally strong in order to be able to seek out and face their opponents.

They often use special weapons, surprise or stealth tactics in order to be able to overpower their much stronger opponents. Hunters' crusades against vampires go almost as far back as vampirism itself.

History
Ever since there have been vampires, there have been others who seek to destroy them. A small, minute though extremely powerful group of humans who pledge to serve the Divinity and cleanse the world of Lamia's creations.

They originated in Alexandria, Egypt about three hundred years after the Battle of the Bloods in 3 BCE when the Goddess, Rama grew nervous about the unconstrained threat of vampirism that was slowly growing out of control. The Egyptian angel did not seek danger on her those beneath her by them actively destroying the vampires, but her disciples under the protection of the sun God, Ra thought it best otherwise. Rama knew of their intentions but decided that that was to be their choice. One they must live with and deal with whatever consequences Mother Earth deems just.

Calypso Classification
Though they are a recognized breed by the Calypso, that does not however mean that they are allowed. Marksman are outlawed by the supernatural society and one may consider them to be technically illegal. No supernatural holds any sympathy with them because they actively commit crimes against a protected species under Calypso law. But because they are human there are no protections in place for vampires against them, this topic is generally a sensitive one that many choose to ignore. The government considers vampires well enough to be able to defend themselves and to be cornered and taken down by one is a great shame for covens and vampric families alike.
