Witch Finder

A Witch-Finder is a Hunter who specializes in the hunting of magick-users as opposed to 'monsters' in general. Since most Witches are not fanged and clawed but instead seemingly normal looking humans, they often require a radically different skill-set and equipment. 
Historically, most Witch-Finders are either church-sanctioned Hunters who fight with the powers of faith or the bitter, darker Witch-Finders who lost someone they loved to the deprivations of magick-users. Both of these groups are driven and dangerous, the former for their fiery zeal and the latter because of their need to get revenge. 
== Facts: ==
-Witch-Finders are the boogeymen among the Order of Witches. Young witches are warned to keep an ever-present eye out for them, and even older and more experienced Witches have learned from first-hand experience not to underestimate them. 
-Witch-Finders employ an array of tricks and specialized equipment to locate witches and counter their magick abilities. Most Witch-Finders will (grudgingly) resort to using some minor forms of magick itself, particularly those forms of magick that strip a witch of their supernatural defenses. 
-Witch-Finders usually work in small teams that take pains to stay under the radar. They keep a low profile so any local witches won't notice them. 
-Witch-Finders are plugged into the overall Hunter community. This means they will keep tabs on known Covens and make sure to ask other Hunters for any information on occult activity. 
-Most Witch-Finders will be human, although some races of Supernaturals might produce them. Werewolves and Orcs often look down on some of the more overt forms of magick, and so they might produce Witch-Finders. 
-In a curious case of cosmic irony, some Witch-Finders are actually witches themselves! They may be a form of police force among magick-users or they could be idealists who feel there are abuses in the practice of magick that must be opposed.
