Hellsing for me. Automatic belt-fed anti-tank rifle akimbo against a vampire nazi zeppelin. Yes, that's a thing. And it pales compared to some of the shit Alucard pulls.

To be fair, Bach is a big enough deal that LaCroix already knows about him long before the PC meets him; given how important the Masquerade is, that presumably means that Bach has survived for quite a long time with the Camarilla actively trying to kill him. He must have successfully bumped off a few vampires in his time to manage that.DoPo said:Wasn't he German? I always assumed he is, although I don't think it's stated anywhere. And anyway, I can't call him a "death machine" the number of vampires we know he killed...is none. If we include his entire team...it's still no vampires. Sheesh, these guys suck. OK, maybe they managed to kill a Sabbat shovelhead or two but I'd hardly call this an accomplishment. And yeah, Bach possibly did kill more than that but we don't see it.PrinceOfShapeir said:Other.

I'd even go as far to say that he and his team aren't terribly competent - Chastity, really? She truly is the master of stealth and blending in. OK, although I admit - being able to pull a friggin' katana out of a thong is impressive but she doesn't hide as well. And the other hunters after Ash? Yeah, talk about not blending in - a guy obviously surveying the club and obviously not out clubbing. And his plan was to...put a steak through Ash's heart in the middle of the club. Assuming he managed to get Ash...what then? People freak out, police gets called, the guy is still charged with murder. At most, he might actually...turn Ash to ash but otherwise nothing would have actually happened - Ash gets declared "dead", then Isaac pulls a few strings and his childe walks free, although possibly having to relocate somewhere he isn't known.
I admire the guy for having some actual True Faith and also the Society of Leopold does manage to be threatening, but none of this was actually shown.
Wasn't that because his family was active for ages, not so much just him?Geo Da Sponge said:To be fair, Bach is a big enough deal that LaCroix already knows about him long before the PC meets him; given how important the Masquerade is, that presumably means that Bach has survived for quite a long time with the Camarilla actively trying to kill him.

*Shrugs* The guy's pretty old. Whatever the case, he must have been kicking for quite a while when some vampires sorely wanted him dead. He might not have been the badass of all badasses, but he was doing what he did for quite a while without getting killed, which is an achievment on its own.thaluikhain said:Wasn't that because his family was active for ages, not so much just him?Geo Da Sponge said:To be fair, Bach is a big enough deal that LaCroix already knows about him long before the PC meets him; given how important the Masquerade is, that presumably means that Bach has survived for quite a long time with the Camarilla actively trying to kill him.

Sounds reasonable, unless he was being run by someone else.Geo Da Sponge said:*Shrugs* The guy's pretty old.

He is the third of the generation of Bachs who was after LaCroix. Yes, he should have heard of him - at least through the gandfather and father, I suppose. Also, LaCroix is a bit...incompetent - it doesn't surprise me Bach managed to hunt him down. Furthermore, the Society of Leopold is quite a big name - the Camarilla would know of him but I doubt they'll go out of their way to declare war on him and the society by extension - they have much better things to do with their nights. It also works quite well - just lay low and the threat passes.Geo Da Sponge said:To be fair, Bach is a big enough deal that LaCroix already knows about him long before the PC meets him; given how important the Masquerade is, that presumably means that Bach has survived for quite a long time with the Camarilla actively trying to kill him.
