 The vampire hunters of the Gardella Legacy are called Venators, and there are up to one hundred of them at any given time in the world.The vast majority of them are from the far-flung branches of the Gardella family tree, but there are some Venators who, even without Gardella blood, make the choice and pass the deadly test that allow them to become vampire hunters.The Venators wear a holy amulet in the shape of a silver cross known as a "vis bulla", which gives them strength, speed, and fast-healing capabilities.
