The Brookes family were vampire hunters for generations. Valter's ancestor was tasked with killing the vampiric twin of the Belfrie brothers during the Belfrie Rebellion. Having failed, it left a stain on their family that Valter now aims to set right. Having heard Arthur Belfrie was alive and well on Duskweave Isle before fleeing from the isle's colonists, Valter now hunts him and other undead nobles through the seceded kingdoms that surround Draksborne. He now seeks aid from the Hex Hunters in Brighstone after hearing tellings of a Vampire Coven that matches Arthur's in the northern kingdom.
Vampires are thought to be few and far between in modern times of Tharador. Most of the Almenhier clan fled from Duskweave following its resettlement, and the remaining clans reside mainly in the continent's north. Valter knows however that this sentiment is incorrect, for vampires instead live in plain site, unknown to the eyes of most lay people for their guise has become so strong that they are truly mistaken for actual persons.
Valter has known this since he was a child, for his family has been tasked with ridding Draksborne of vampires for centuries. Their greatest failure was failing to kill Arthur Belfrie, who had been inflicted with vampirism sometime during the Belfrie Rebellion. It was this vampire that used his unholy abilities to kill Draksborne's king at the time, ending the war and ushering in the newest age of darkness for Draksborne. Thus the Brookes' have hunted for Arthur for years, whom always seems to evade them.
Most recently he has heard a tale of a coven of Vampires in the far north of Tharador, that operate in the kingdoms of Greypeak and Brightstone. Their descriptions and hunting methods match such Arthurian Vampiric Teachings, so Valter believes it may be his best lead against Arthur that he will find. He has chosen to seek the aid of the Hex Hunters of Brighstone, those well familiar with the area, and originally those who taught him much of his own skills during his training years. Alongside him treks Brekken the Bodacious and Brazen, a bard whom he has had many dealings with in the past who aims to make a saga of Valter's quest, as mundane and tiresome as it might be.
