A vampire hunter was an individual who had devoted him or herself to track and exterminate vampires. The term included but was not limited to the Slayer, who, historically, filled the role of a super-powered vampire hunter, and her Watcher mentors. Humans who wished to become vampire hunters extensively studied vampire fighting capabilities and weaknesses in order to match the increased strength, speed and agility their enemies.
