David Scott Denmore (born June 16th, 1988 in Sapulpa, Oklahoma) is a Templar Order Operative and Hunter. Though he has only been recently brought into the Templar Order, his prior accomplishments range from simple removal of lesser imps to the complete and utter annihilation of vampire cults in parts of the western regions of the United States. While never truly achieving membership to the “Sons of Leopold” hunter fraternity he still took on the mantle and proceeded to serve as an operative under their cause.
Denmore’s zealotry fueled by the death of his family would cause him to become highly proficient in the hunting process, along with the gifts of his bloodlines from both his mother and father. This zealotry would move him across several states until he arrived at his current residence amongst the Rogue Islands.
While he does not sleep in buildings, his current residence is listed as being at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church and School. This is also were he is currently employed as a operative for the Templar Order.

His History
Public Information
Denmore was born in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, the son of Emily (née Sampson), a school teacher, and Scott Delmar Denmore, a wealthy rancher. Denmore attended Emsley A. Marsh High school in Sapulpa, Oklahoma until the age of 17. He played football his freshman and junior year and was a top scorer until he dropped out after his parents were murdered.
Denmore would then move to Texarkana, Texas to live with his God father Alex Pishcon, an equipment supervisor. Pishcon was a close friend of Denmore’s father and raised him until he was eighteen.
Confidential Information
Scott Denmore; David’s father was in fact a “Son of Leopold”. The Sons of Leopold were a fraternity of hunters descended from the “House of Murnau” a bloodline traced back to the Inquisition. This small group of hunters mostly worked out of the western part of the United States, with houses ranging from California to Oklahoma.
As a Son of Leopold, Scott was brought into the order by his father who was brought in by his father. Each male descendant would follow in the footsteps of the prior generation. The primary goal of the order was to eliminate and put to rest malicious entities such as vampires and demons. While other species were also hunted by the fraternity, its primary focus was on these two malicious groups.
Scott Denmore decided that he did not wish to bring his son into the order and instead wished for his son to live a normal life as a rancher. This however would not be the case, as David would later learn of his fathers secret after a hunt went wrong and resulted in the deaths of both Scott and his wife Emily as well as the later death of their daughter and David’s sister Megan. Against the wishes of Scott, Alex Pishcon a close friend to the late Scott Denmore as well as David’s Godfather would reveal the secret of Scott’s past to his son and show him the path of the Sons of Leopold.
Birth by Tragedy
David Denmore’s father was a skilled hunter for several years, living a secret life that he hid from his children in hopes of protecting them. On August 4th 2005 Scott Denmore would fail to kill his target, and instead be hunted by it. While the vampire’s true name was never clarified, it would manage to track Scott back to his Ranch home in Sapulpa, Oklahoma were it killed both Scott and his wife Emily in their sleep.
The vampire would also abduct David’s younger sister Megan Denmore (Age 7 September 9th, 1998 – July 7th, 2006) turning her into a vampire as a form of “pity”.
David would be spared simply due to the fact that he had been intoxicated after a sporting event and was passed out in the barn during the murders. This combined with the fact that he discovered his parents bodies in their bed would result in a phobia of sleeping in buildings in the later years of David’s life.
David would then be taken in by his God father Alex Pishcon, who would offer him an avenue for revenge. Pishcon would train David in the art of hunting, as well as teach him how to hone his talents. David Denmore, would passionately learn what many managed in several years, in just one. After several forms of testing, Pishcon would work with informants from the sons of Leopold to find the murderer of Denmore’s family as well as the whereabouts of his sister.
On July 7th, 2006 David Denmore completed his first hunt successfully avenging his parents as well as putting his sister to rest. From that point on David has trained and continued to hunt the things that plague humanity.
Abilities and Equipment
Abilities
Gift of the Mother
Unknown to David, his mother was in fact a supernatural being. Emily Sampson, who would later marry Scott Denmore was in fact a kinfolk. Kinfolk are the children of metamorphs (Such as werewolves) that do not carry the gene that results in them being able to shift forms when they are of age. Most Kinfolk are human for the most part and show very little difference from any other human. Since Kinfolk show no sign of change, often more than not they never learn of their true origins and live normal lives. While David does not know of his mothers origin, he did inherit his mothers ability to regenerate rapidly. This ability assists him in surviving what would normally be fatal wounds for other individuals, as well as it increases his over all energy and stamina.
His mothers genes have also bestowed upon him a remarkable amount of agility which allows him to be far more nimble and more agile.
Curse of the Father
Scott Denmore is the descendant of a long lineage of individuals with an ability to locate and sense corruption. Based upon the individual, responses to supernatural beings can cause visions, odd pains, scents or even illness.
This ability was traced back to the original House of Murnau,in which the great Leopold himself was part of. The House Murnau was considered cursed, for any child of the bloodline would suffer great tragedy if they sensed corruption and allowed it to continue existing. The tragedy normally resulted in a long chain of bad luck that would plague the child until the corruption was dealt with.
In 1976 a direct descendant of Leopold managed to lift the curse upon the bloodline after vanquishing a great demon in the name of the lord. While the curse was lifted, the divine portion of the curse remained in the male offspring of the bloodline. Because of this a order was formed and the first "Son's of Leopold" would take up the hunt to further protect mankind.
David Denmore is a male descendant and because of this, he smells odd odors around different supernatural beings. Depending on the level of corruption, intensity often differs and he normally shows visual signs of discomfort.
Training from the Mentor
After the deaths of David's parents and the discovery of the truth behind them; Alex Pishcon would become David's role model and proceed to train him in the way of the Sons of Leopold. Zealotry and a desire for revenge would push David to the point of excelled adaptation and learning. Mastering marksmanship and martial arts rapidly as well as understanding the basic strategies of the hunter would further David's abilities.
While he had taken martial arts in his younger years, he truly didn't master them until training with Pishcon. Combined with his deadly wrist mounted blades, Denmore's abilities as a close range fighter are rather deadly. However, he also worked hard to maintain a series of defensive non-lethal take downs for dealing with civilians who may endanger the success of a hunt.
Alex Pishcon still provides mentoring for David as well as keeps him up on intel provided by the Sons of Leopold.
Equipment
Wrist Mounted Double Edged Blades
A mechanical spring loaded triggering system allows these blades to be mounted to his wrists and hidden for the most part. Made from impervium, these blades rarely dull and are fairly durable. Combined with Denmore's martial arts abilities these tend to be deadly weapons.
Duchman Dura-Vest
A simple flak jacket with internal corrugated impervium back and chest plates. A standard vest that can take large amounts of damage before becoming useless. Also has several pouches, ammo slots, and straps for convenience.
Vial Collection
A collection of chemicals ranging from holy water to silver and garlic extracts. These vials are often used by him on certain forms of supernatural beings as well as for other uses such as hygiene and survival. Some vials are also in specialized containers built for a specialized mount on Denmore's side arm. These specialized rounds are designed to break on impact when launched.
Modified Desert Eagle Special Edition
Denmore's rarely used side arm, is a modified gas propelled Desert eagle with mounted dart capabilities. While he does not use his side arm often, he carries it mostly for emergencies as well as a tool of intimidation.
