Eileen the Crow

Eileen the Crow is one of the characters of Bloodborne. She is a hunter of hunters, a hunter that specializes in taking down hunters who have become maddened by the hunt. Though eccentric and on the verge of insanity, she is a kind figure with knowledge on the practices of Yharnam in the past. In the end though, the night is merciless.
==Biography==
===Past===
Not much is known about Eileen besides the fact that she hailed from a faraway land where she learned how to perform Sky Burials in an attempt to respect the dead. She had kept this occupation of being The Hunter of Hunters for a while and now she has gotten old.
===Bloodborne===
Eileen can be found at the sewers, rather annoyed at the presence of The Hunter though nevertheless, she gives them useful advice, warnings, and a few Bold Hunter's Marks. This is where they learn of her occupation, a hunter of hunters who specializes in hunting down hunters who have gone mad from the hunt, now hostile creatures still able to wield their weapons. 
Once the Tomb of Oedon is opened, Eileen will be standing just outside the Oedon Chapel, preparing to take down her target. She warns The Hunter about the presence of the Old Hunter, Henryk though her warnings were ignored when they went down themselves to take down the old hunter. With not much choice, Eileen jumps in to assist The Hunter, even when she can very much die here. Should she survive this encounter however, she will still give gratitude to the hunter though she will warn them to stick to their job and she'll stick to hers. Unfortunately, that is a grave mistake.
Once the blood moon falls, there are 2 outcomes that may happen to her. Should The Hunter never meet her, she will go insane and attack them, thinking all hunters to be evil beings. However if she had met them and survived, she will instead be laying on the stairs to the Grand Cathedral, injured severely. She desperately warns The Hunter not to go inside as The Bloody Crow of Cainhurst was there. 
Yet The Hunter did not listen, much to her dismay. They enter the cathedral, taking on the Cainhurst hunter and despite their advanced weaponry and unique abilities, The Hunter eventually became victorious. With their success, Eileen grants them her gratitude in the form of her rune and badge. Afterwards she disappears and her fate remains unknown.
==Equipment==
*Blade of Mercy: Eileen's weapon, the Blade of Mercy, are a pair of magnetized blades which can be separated into a pair of blades which the crow garbed hunter primarily used.
*Throwing Knives: Eileen's preferred ranged weapons which she uses quite often against opponents out of her reach. For some reason she favors using these knives over her firearm despite its clear superiority which contrasts Henryk who prefers his pistol over his throwing knives despite the latter being what he is known for.
*Hunter Pistol: A handgun used by many hunters. It is quite simple and Eileen occasionally used it during combat.
*Crowfeather Set: The Hunter of Hunter's signature outfit which she dons during hunts. It is not notable whatsoever except for its very high frenzy resistance which was odd as Eileen is very much at the brink of insanity and simply not meeting The Hunter drives her off the deep end.
==Abilities==
Eileen lacks many of the supernatural abilities The Hunter has, having been freed from The Dream and losing her immortality. She is still an imposing figure with years of skill and weaponry to make up for her shortcomings. The hunter of hunters should never be underestimated
*Blade Mastery: Eileen is exceptionally proficient with her weapon due to her years of experience. She often performs quick and precise slashes and thrusts at her opponent all while evading their attacks. She was so proficient with this weapon in fact that she rarely uses her firearms
