=== Appearance ===

Venator is a middle-aged burly white man with dark green eyes (the left one is white and seems to be blind), black hair with gray streaks, a short beard and moustache, and burn scars over the left side of his face and left arm. He wears a military vest with crosses over priest clothes (the left side of which is burned at the end), black pants, black boots with purple shoelaces, fingerless gloves, and a watch in his left pulse. He carries a purple book (presumably a Bible), 3 stakes, a [[wikipedia:Thurible|thurible]], his Christian cross-shaped crossbow used for {{AbilityIcon|Ira Domini}} in his back, and a sawed-off shotgun used for {{AbilityIcon|Gutshot}} in his left hand. His main weapon is a submachine gun similar to a [[wikipedia:Heckler_&_Koch_MP5|Heckler & Koch MP5]], with its under-barrel grenade launcher decorated to resemble a [[wikipedia:Votive_candle|Votive candle]], and [[wikipedia:Rosary#Rosary_beads|Rosary beads]] in place of a sling harness.

=== Information ===

Line 31:

Line 37:

Venator's weapon is named after the Bible passage Jeremiah 51:20: "Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms".

Venator's weapon appears to be loosely based on a Heckler & Koch MP5, which officially entered service in 1966 but was designed as early as 1964.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_MP5</ref> Additionally its under-barrel grenade launcher has been decorated to resemble a typical Ave Maria "Votive candle"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Votive_candle</ref> commonly found in Catholic home altars. This is also coupled with some Rosary beads<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosary#Rosary_beads</ref> in place of a sling harness.
