An ancient vampire roaming across America, the nameless monstrosity known as The Drifter has been preying on the living for generations.

This refusal to toe the line has made him a marked man all over the North American Baronies; but while Viscounts and Elders cry for his execution, Drifter continues to do what he pleases...
