In it is the character of Zarek, a Dark-Hunter who embraces his insanity, whilst enjoying every second of it. Unable to trust anyone, even himself, he relies on his inability to always do the wrong thing and harm those who obstruct him. After spending a full lifetime as a Roman slave, he has now been exiled as a Dark-Hunter for over nine-hundred years.
