- “Find others like you. People who have suffered as we have, people with the same rage, the same fire. You'll know them when you see them.”
- ―Daniel Holtz[src]
Daniel Holtz established a cell of vampire hunters with Justine Cooper[1] in order to hunt down Angel.[2] The small army consisted of people who had lost loved ones to vampires and were looking to take their revenge on the undead.[3] The demon Sahjhan described them as "a bunch of paramilitary moonie freaks."[1]
These people were trained standard vampire hunting methods, teaching them unarmed fighting skills along with using weapons such as swords and stakes. They also used real vampires as punching bags which they kept locked in chains. They lived with Holtz and Justine in an abandoned mansion in Los Angeles.[1]
History[]
Holtz built this army after killing the Grappler demons that Sahjhan had hired to serve him, wanting real warriors who were believed in and were willing to die for his cause instead of soulless soldiers of fortune. Holtz recruited Justine[2] and told her to find others like her to join their cause against vampires.[3]
After Holtz struck a deal with Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, who believed Angel would kill his own son Connor,[1] he launched an attacked at the Hyperion Hotel using his soldiers. The Angel Investigations team easily dispatched Holtz's army and even killed some in defense. However, the attack was a distraction with the purpose to keep Angel from discovering that Wesley had kidnapped his son. When Angel learned of Wesley's deception, he aggressively approached the injured hunters to find Holtz location.[4]
Following Holtz departure to Quor'toth, Justine assumed leadership of the group. When Charles Gunn and Winifred Burkle came to the building in order to find Holtz, the two were attacked by the remaining members of the army. However, Justine, upon seeing one of the hunters put a knife to Gunn's neck, reminding her of the time she slit Wesley's throat, ordered them to stop and allowed Gunn and Fred to go.[5]
