In the year 1945, Allied forces invaded a fortress controlled by Nazis in Romania. Within the fortress, the Allies found Nazi scientists and occultists meddling with a circular door that looked very out of place. So thrown by the site, the Allies stood and watched as the door opened.
The gate filled the great hall of the fortress with a bright light. Out of the light came what could only be called Demons. Those events coincided with the end of World War 2.
Most reading this would immediately think that the moment after they came out of the gate, the demons viciously killed everyone inside the castle. However, what followed were a series of talks and cover-ups surrounding the demons. The demons which came through spoke to the leaders of the world on intelligent, peaceful terms. After months of the talks, demon-kind was allowed to live among man as long as they remain undercover.
But with the reasonable demons came the trouble makers. With these more vicious demons came the rise of the Demon Hunters in 1953. These unknown groups kept the public in the dark about Demon existence until 1990. In that year, the United Nations revealed the Demons to the rest of the world. At first, the public reacted with fear until the Demon Hunters came into light. With the Hunters to keep the violent demons at bay, human and demon kind were able to co-exist.
Jump to 2009. Violent demon activity has risen around the world and the Demon Hunters have their work cut out for them. But with the rise of new Hunter groups, they are hopeful. The income for Hunters has also increased.
The source of the activity is a mafia-like group within the Demon underground calling themselves the Black Family. Their members are searching for powerful artifacts around the world. Hunter groups have attempted to get more information, but all infiltrated agents were found out and killed. Something needs to be done. But it is very hard to get Demon Hunters to focus on a single group.
Daemons: Lowest rank. These are easily destroyed due to their lack of immunities and powers.
Daemites: Still rather weak, Daemites are hardly more deadly than Daemons, except that they have a resistance to blades.
Demons: The most common class and encountered almost daily. Demons, as usual, possess speed and strength above that of a human as well as a resistance to blades and projectiles.
Dorgons: Reptilian demons that spawned the legends of Dragons and such. The most well known Dorgon being the Loch Ness Monster. The first caste to show a specific weakness. Mainly a weakness to extreme cold.
Gorgons: Most commonly referred to as Succubi, Gorgons are the more docile and only all female caste. Not dangerous unless angered and weak to iron.
Horrors: Affiliated with tales of the Boogeyman, Horrors are night-demons that terrorize children and the sleeping. However, most rarely hurt those they stalk. They are most vulnerable during the day.
Nightmares: Out of all the demon types, these are the most deformed. That is what makes them frightening. Only appearing at night, Nightmare demons range from shapeless masses to collections of arms, legs, eyes, and pointy things. Only veteran Hunters should approach and be armed with pure silver.
Warriors: Demons built for combat. Most common trait is natural armor. Weakest under the arms and behind the knees.
Gladiators: More deadly fighters. They usually possess some kind of elemental power. Best to use the opposite element to destroy them.
Soldiers: Professional fighting demons. Should only be approached by veteran Hunters with specially crafted weapons implementing armor piercing and some kind of element.
Warmasters: Only five documented encounters between Hunters and Warmasters exist. Two have positive results. Warmasters share a common allergic reaction to the blood of the dead.
Warlords: DO NOT APPROACH. All Warlords are extremely powerful and no Hunter has survived long enough to find out any kind of shared traits.
List of Active Demon Hunter Groups
Demon's Blood: One of the most notable and well known of the Hunter Groups. They are known for their near constant mission success rate and not having a base of operations. Instead, the small team travel’s the roads in a customized van moving from job to job.

The rivulets are filled with a mix of mercury and molten steel that he can use to cover his body in flames at will. His eyes take on a shaper shape and glow deep red while his mouth becomes something akin to a permanent grin.

Weakness to ice
Hunter Group: Demon’s Blood
Short History: Born the son of a powerful demon Warlord and a human lawyer, Neflame spent the majority of his time with his father, as per caste tradition, learning the ways of combat. Blending in with humans was easy for Neflame since he naturally had a human appearance and did not have to go through the sometimes painful learning process of changing out of one’s demon form into a more human one. At age ten, he spent more time with his mother learning about human culture and traditions. When he was fifteen, he met a human boy named Thomas, the two quickly becoming inseparable. They were nineteen when the idea of demon hunting as a way of living sprang into Neflame’s head. It was an idea that his father was very approving of and that his mother did not oppose, knowing that it would accomplish nothing.
Neflame and Tom formed Demon’s Blood, a two-man hunting operation. Neflame let Thomas handle the money and general management side of things and elected to take care of the majority of the fighting. Six years later, Neflame picked up Karen during a job and convinced Tom to add her to the team. A few months later, the half-demon picked up Emily, a technical genius, in the same manner. Since the full formation of Demon’s Blood, Neflame’s name has become well-known within the demonic and human underground, particularly where hunters are involved.
Name: Mannfred
Age: Several thousand. I feel like being annoyingly vague here.
Race: Vampire
Appearance:
http://casualmagic.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/zendikar-art-spoiler.jpg
Skills/Abilities:
Vampiric strength
Vampiric speed
Master of sangromancy (blood magic)
Hunter Group: Not affiliated with any
Short History: As one of the oldest vampires still living in the world, Mannfred has seen and experienced just about everything one could wish to. Well traveled and well heeled, he regularly seeks novelty and new diversions to keep him entertained. In his long life, Mannfred has been witness to just about every major world altering event. He has fought in most major wars in some fashion or another, been the secret lover of countless noble ladies and princesses, and many other dubious activities not to be discussed among public ears. After the connection of Earth to the demonic realms, Mannfred’s constant travel came to a halt. The vampire wished to view the new change from a stationary position. He became active again once the various hunters and hunter groups began popping up to deal with the more troublesome demons. He took on the role of selling information to any hunter willing to buy. With the amount of connections he has, getting the information is an easy task for Mannfred. For some of the hunter groups, he also acts as a weapons dealer, selling the goods provided by a personal friend.
