Shane Van Helsing is the last descendant of the infamous vampire hunter bloodline. But unlike his forefathers, Shane was cursed on a mission gone wrong — marked by an ancient sigil binding him to the very darkness he once hunted. Now, he walks between realms — man and monster — fueled by a tormented mission to purge corruption from the wrestling world. He sees himself not as a hero or villain, but as a necessary purge, claiming those who let greed, pride, or power consume them. With a black lantern in hand and cryptic words on his tongue, Shane doesn’t just aim to win matches — he aims to reveal truths. He has traveled through Japan, where he learned to channel pain into power, adopting a style similar to EVIL. He returned to the West more dangerous, colder, and almost… undead.
