Shadowed by Nightmares “Hidden in the day, hunted by the night.”
After his transformation, Leopold found himself able to move through the world unnoticed, even in broad daylight. He can slip past people, blending into shadows, often remaining completely unseen. But this newfound ability came with a curse—ever since the night he was bitten on his shoulder and neck, he has been haunted by nightmarish visions that blur reality and torment his sleep. Along with the haunting dreams, the bite site now aches constantly, a painful reminder of the dark change he underwent. His shoulder throbs with each passing day, as if the curse itself is trying to break free.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
