Personality: Reka has little sense of humor when it comes to the subject of removing all forms of vampires from the world. She takes her work quite seriously, and can often be found in research or honing her skills.
History: Reka was born into a band of gypsies who served a clan of vampires faithfully throughout multiple generations of their families. The vampires always dealt kindly with the human gypsies, and with humans in general. Never taking any more from anyone than what they needed to survive, and even then only taking from those who offered. They would only turn those that truly desired to be turned, making sure that it was a choice that they would not regret. It was not even unheard of for the vampires to take mates from the band of gypsies, some even becoming lifelong companions and turning in order to remain at the side of their vampire sire and mate. In return for their service and protection during the daylight hours, the vampires would return this service in kind and protect the gypsies from enemies that might come upon them during the night. Though a strange match, given the Catholic ways of the band of gypsies, it was a happy and fulfilling situation.
Then one night when Reka was barely a teenager, for no apparent reason, the vampires turned on the Romani people and attacked them. Mercilessly slaughtering the humans that had faithfully served them as Reka watched from the shadows in horror, wondering what had come over the beautiful creatures that had always treated her family and friends as their own family, almost as kindred. She was discovered and as she fought back, ended up with the cut above her right eyebrow that has left her scarred. But the leader of the vampire clan stopped her attacker, and they left. Leaving behind just young girl amongst a once thriving group of now deceased people.
Since that day, Reka has sworn to have vengeance on the vampires that turned on her and her people. She has been honing her skills in anticipation of that day, using her innate ability to sense souls in order to track and defeat vampires during her travels. At first, it was something that troubled her. She knew from her experiences growing up that not all vampires were the kind that slaughtered and wreaked havoc. But as time passed, she came to peace with this side of herself. Explaining away her doubts about her newly found duty that it was better to end their existence before whatever happened to the vampire clan she had once served happened to all vampires. In her travels, she came upon news of organizations that hunted vampires as well, and through that information presented herself to join with Iscariot's effort to wipe out vampires.
Powers: Reka has superhuman speed and agility. Her one special ability is a sort of sixth sense that allows her to sense the presence of spirits, or lack thereof, enabling her to detect and track vampires more ably than some.
