Morte de Amour lounged in his chair watching the hunters through his slaves’ eyes; they were planning his downfall and his entire clans should it come to that. Making Sunset his slave hadn’t been easy since she fell in love with that brat Lightning Strike, but it had allowed him to get closer than ever to the Hunter and his crew of specialists,

He pulled the files for each of them out of his desk and began to peruse them once again.

Applebloom: Tech specialist and Weapons master. Element of Honesty received from her older sister Applejack; Terran, Heir to the Apple family farms and fortune. Joined The Hunters at 18 after learning of her Parents demise at the hands of a vampire. Holds no special hatred for any particular clan but regards the tactics of the Travelers as dishonest and cheap, leading her to dislike them as a general rule. Current lover of Moon Strike (See below)

Favored Weapon: Hammers in general but favors a heavily enchanted warhammer that was found by the previous hunter in a Dragonne nest she cleared out some years ago, bears several enchantments that have been replicated to a lesser degree in her smaller throwing hammers the first of which is a sensory enchantment that allows her to detect vampiric possession of another as with a Traveler (implies other types of vampires are capable of this type of ability) the second is an offensive enchantment that seems to exploit vampires natural weakness to Celestia’s Light while not producing any visible light itself seems to project the same energy signature as the Sun.

Scootaloo: Team Scout and Speed combatant Avian Element of Loyalty inherited from the previous holder Rainbow Dash Childhood friend of Applebloom and Sweetie Belle (see below) Current lover of both as well as Moon Strike. Seems to have joined simply because of Applebloom. Particularly hates Rotters after an incident where she was nearly raped by a pair of them when caught on a scouting mission.

Favored Weapon: Spear un-enchanted as of last intelligence report but made of the same Meteorite metal that all of their basic weapons are made from.

Sweetie Belle: Retired pop star and current Medic for the hunters Element of Generosity inherited from her older sister Rarity (Current master of Ponyville Belle Kiss) Mage seems to have also joined because of Applebloom but may have her own motivations as intel about this member is suprisingly hard to find given her previous fame. Current lover of both Scootaloo and Applebloom as well as the Hunter current intel suggests that all four have addded Babs Seed (see below) to their growing list of lovers.

Favored Weapon: Specialized crossbows (2) that channel her magic regardless of spell type though she seems to specialize in sonic magic and healing also quite skilled with a variety of thrown weapons

Babs Seed: Close combat specialist and Element of Laughter inherited from Pinkie Pie, Terran; reports of an ability called Pinkie Sense and a transformation into a being known as “Pinkamena” along with the ability to bend physics to her will are unsubstantiated but prevalent enough to bear watching (perhaps some Mage in her ancestry though this is pure conjecture)

Favored Weapon: Bladed whips (2) she is quite adept at using these deceptive weapons and given her reported abilities puts her near the top of the list of members to take out early in combat given her known ferocity when in combat

Princess Skyla mi Amore Cadenza: Daughter of Princess Cadence of the Crystal Kingdom and Prince Shining Armor. Mage (Arch mage?) possesses quite powerful Magic as she has been trained by not only all three Princesses but the former Element of Magic which she has inherited from same. Specializes in precognition and clairvoyant abilities making her deceptively difficult to catch unawares despite her young age (15) reportedly stronger than her Elements previous holder magically but lacks the experience to make her truly dangerous on her own. Current Lover of Macintosh Apple Jr. (see below)

Favored Weapon: two sentient blades of ancient origin (Shikyo and Ikazutchi) reportedly forged for the ruling family of the crystal empire out of a type of crystal but harder and sharper than any known sword in existence. Heavily enchanted but nothing is known of their abilites.

Macintos Apple Jr.: Son of Macintosh Apple Sr. and Fluttershy (previous Element of Kindness) whom he inherited his Element from making this Avian an anomaly having an Avians speed and ability to fly but the prodigious size and strength of a Terran seemingly inherited in whole from his father who is touted as the Strongest man in Equestria. Spends an inordinate amount of time and energy trying to protect his older cousin Applebloom from harm both emotional as well as physical. Possible exploit in a hostage situation but be warned DO NOT ENGAGE IN SOLO COMBAT!

Favored Weapon: Double Bit Battle axe and an assortment of throwing axes (un-enchanted as of last intel)

Twilight Sparkle: Former Hunter (Newly retired) former Element of Magic and quite possibly one of the most powerful Mages alive able to stand up to even the Princesses magically. Current Lover of Trixie Lulamoon as well as Moon Strike on occasion though this is a passing dalliance for both herself and Trixie for the moment. (Side note on Trixie Lulamoon: Formerly Traveler but re-sired by Belle herself to remove Sombra’s influence; excellent illusionist and passable combat Mage seems to play a support role on the team and therefore not needing a full report.)

Favored Weapon: Magic Channeled Crossbows (2) as well as her own abilities make her a formidable opponent due not only to her sheer power but her intellect which is unsurpassed by anyone living save the Princesses and even this is questionable.

Moon Strike: Current Hunter Belle 3rd generation Mage and former Lunar guard Reportedly a Dhamphire (?) and has the abilities of several clans though this is unsubstantiated as of this intel it is known however that he is Immune to daylight and spells that replicate this. Due to his training as a Lunar Guard he is extensively trained in combat and interrogation techniques as well as investigative specialization. Known to posses a special talent for killing vampires but seems a lackluster fighter against any other opponent.

Weaknesses and Limitations: seems to posses a smaller hunger than other known vampires but if he fights regularly or in protracted battles must feed more often and can go into torpor easier than others of his kind. Immune to daylight as well as daylight replicating spells seems to transfer to fire as well. Feeds on lust as well as blood and must feed each equally to maintain balance or one hunger grows exponentially possibly leading to frenzies. Does not seem to have a magical specialization though with his training seems to focus on combat both offensive and defensive. More intel is needed to provide further weaknesses.

Favored Weapon: uses Longsword and short sword in the typical Lunar Guard fashion and does so exceedingly well also uses a Magic channeling crossbow with unknown proficiency but presumed to be at least competent. Reports of the ability to withstand a master of any age and power is unsubstantiated but it is known that the Elements were used when he sparred with Princess Celestia supposedly to protect Equestria from her full power, a match he reportedly won.

Known Associates: the Apple Family (et al) the Princesses Celestia and Luna no reports of meeting Princess Cadence have been found but given his age and service in the Guard is possible. Trixie Lulamoon (noted above), the musicians Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Von Clef (non combatants strictly business associates) Belle Morte (distant associates but seemingly friendly as well as being his Soudre de Sang) Lightning Strike (A Grandnephew from his sister) Current Lunar Guard and former Solar guard currently doing guard duty for the Hunters base of operations Luna’s Playground.

Morte de Amour sets the files aside with a snarl “How am I supposed to foil these idiots? They seem to have every eventuality planned for and with Sparklebutt acting as liason and a Fucking Princess on the team how can I attack them without facing three very pissed off Arch mages?”

“Master…” a timid voice says from the doorway.

“What! Oh it’s you Eris what can I do for you my chaotic darling?”

“Maybe you could talk to my father? He always liked the chaos your clan brings to Equestria” Eris says meekly

“AH! My old Friend Lord Discord how could I forget? Of course, my dear could you kindly send him a message to meet me at his earliest convenience?

“Of course, Master” Eris says bowing her way out the door

Out of earshot she mutters under her breath “Fluttershy, lets hope you really did reform my father.” As she tugs on the collar around her neck long grown into her skin it is so tight.
