“The Man who Haunts the Evil”: The Legacy of Gabriel Kane
The World of the Symbolum Venatores flows throughout human history. From various Monsters to the legendary Hunters who follow, there have been many. Yet, there is one who became renown from his actions. His background led him onto a path where many Hunters would be inspired. His confrontations with legendary forces proved to many of his purpose.
