Jakob Mueller, The Shadow's Bane

About

A man driven by both faith and fear, Jakob Mueller is a relentless witch hunter who has seen the darkest corners of the supernatural world. His conviction is fueled by personal tragedy and an unyielding belief in the power of divine retribution.

Backstory

The screams from the cellar haunted Jakob long after the inquisitors had left, their torches casting wild shadows against stone walls stained with his family's blood. What began as a whispered accusation of witchcraft against his mother had spiraled into a brutal interrogation that shattered his understanding of justice and divine mercy. Beneath his priestly robes, Jakob secretly harbored a forbidden knowledge—an ancestral grimoire passed down through generations, revealing that the very powers he now hunted ran deep in his own veins. When the final tortured breath of his mother echoed through the darkness, Jakob made a calculated decision: he would become the weapon that would hunt those like himself, transforming his inherited magical lineage into a tool of absolute destruction. His transformation from a sheltered priest to a ruthless witch hunter was not just an act of vengeance, but a complex performance of self-preservation and internalized hatred.
