	The Lord is merciful... I am not.
	I don't get to walk the Righteous path. I blaze the trail so that others may do so safely.
	Evil stirs in New York... and so the Vatican has called on me.
	I am the Sword of Saint Benedict!
	I've taken the Venator's oath. My life belongs not to me, but to service.
	We all have a callin'--the only question is, do we have the courage to answer it?
	Less than two dozen men and women have the honor of being called Venator. The title is a source of much pride... the work that I am sometimes called to do, less so.
	Today the hunter prays for your blessing, and absolution.
	Saint Benedict, protect me.
	Today... nine Commandments will have to do.
	Ours is not to question what is necessary. Ours is the will to do whatever it takes.

Audio	Transcription
	I must report to my superiors.
	I'm biding my time.
	I must prepare for the hunt.
	I'm still recoverin' from the last hunt.
	I still have parishes to investigate.
	I'm not ready to pass judgement yet.
	The Carnifex Right is not somethin' to be taken lightly.
	It's not the right time to strike...
	I don't question what needs to be done--I question the timing.
	I know better than to rush into things.

Conversations

Hero	Complete?	Audio	Transcription
Apollo	No		Venator: You're the one destined for greatness, right? Apollo:
			Venator: You don't trust me. Apollo: Venator: Young man, I don't care about the circumstances of your birth, I care about who you are. I don't give a damn if you look like a monster… but if you act like one I will put you down. Apollo:
Celeste	No		Venator: You look… delicate. Celeste: Venator: I'm trying to be kind. Celeste: Venator: We're about be shot at and you're dressed like you just got off a shift at the circus. So yes. I have concerns. Celeste: Venator: God help me.
			Celeste: Venator: You have no idea Celeste: Venator: Lord willing you'll survive and get to hear them.
Drifter	No		Venator: After the ritual's complete, I'm going to drive a stake in your heart. Drifter: Venator: You've never fought a man like me before.
			Drifter: Venator: Enjoy your last day of wanton slaughter, Drifter. Tomorrow your wretched life will come to an end.
			Drifter: Venator: Equally pointless. Drifter: Venator: The feeling's mutual.
Graves	Yes		Venator: You're in over your head child. Graves: I get that a lot. Venator: Give me the lich hand. Graves: Not happening Venator: You will regret your choice. Graves: Believe me, father, I already regret meeting you.
			Graves: What kind of priest carries a gun? Venator: One that's about to go to war. What kind of child traffics with the dead? Graves: One that—ugh, I don't do purple prose. I do. I traffic with the dead. If you have a problem with that you shouldn't be here. Venator: No problem at all, lass.
			Venator: The lich is using you. Graves: You don't know her. Venator: They're all the same. Graves: Oh my god, someone religious is being closed minded. I wish I wore pearls so I could clutch them. Venator: It's a real shame that you're not going to live long enough to learn the wisdom that comes with age. Graves: Don’t threaten me. Venator: Threaten you? I'm trying to save your life. Graves: Thanks for your concern. I can take things from here.
Haze	Yes		Haze: I think I work with a friend of yours. Venator: Marlowe's been spinning stories? Haze: One or two. Venator: Tell the bastard I said hi. Haze: Will do.
			Venator: You ever work with a Venator before? Haze: No. Venator: Well just to set expectations we can be… a bit exhuberant in our methods. Haze: I appreciate the importance of being thorough. Venator: Then we should have no problems.
			Venator: Today the wicked will suffer at our hands. Haze: Indeed they shall.
Holliday	Yes		Venator: What happened in Macomb wasn't your fault, child. Holliday: You weren't there. Venator: No. But I've failed before. You can't let it consume you. Holliday: I can't not care. Venator: I didn't say don't care. Pain and anger are fires that burn in all of us, but it needs to be tended lest it destroys you. Holliday: Yeah? And how do you tend it? Venator: You're about to find out.
			Venator: Harden your heart, sheriff… you can't let your sense of law and order get in the way of what needs to be done. Holliday: Don't worry Father… the law is the farthest thing from driving me.
			Holliday: Thanks for praying with me earlier. Venator: I hope it brought you some peace. Holliday: It didn't. But it was nice that you tried. Venator: Good luck, Holliday. Holliday: You too, Father.
Infernus	Yes		Infernus: Hate to see what kind of homilies you're dropping on Sundays. Venator: I don't serve at a parish. Infernus: Can't imagine why.
			Venator: You look nervous. Infernus: I'm next to a crazy preacher with a gun, why wouldn't I be. Venator: Do you always oversimply things? Infernus: What nuance am I missing here? Venator: I have 2 guns. Infernus: Real funny, Father.
			Venator: You're haunted. Infernus: Ain't you heard? The whole city's haunted. Venator: You know what I mean. Infernus: I really thought I buried this part of me, ya know. Venator: A lot of people try to bury the past. Problem what that is whenever someone comes to go dig it up, they make a big mess. Infernus: Got any advice? Venator: Yeah. Win. Otherwise you're torturing yourself for 2nd place, and that's not worth it.
Rem	Yes		Venator: You lost little one? Rem: Mhmm. Venator: Don't worry. I'll shepherd you home.
			Rem: I thought priests were supposed to be nice. Venator: Who said I wasn't. Rem: I'm pretty sure you're about to kill people. Venator: Some people need to die. Rem: Are you sure you're a priest? Venator: I don't expect you to understand the nuance of my world. Rem: Nuance sounds like a big word. Venator: Don't worry about it. Just know I'll protect you.
			Rem: I'm going to follow you around. Venator: Please don't. Rem: You say that now, but you'll like me.
Seven	Yes		Seven: Did your masters at The Vatican send you? Or are you thinking for yourself for a change. Venator: The fact that there's not a stake throught your heart should be answer enough. Seven: Orders it is. Venator: Smart lad.
			Venator: You killed a friend of mine. Seven: Please, you're still willing to work with me- I killed a work acquaintance at best.
			Seven: Aren't you planning on offering me a benediction? Venator: No. Seven: Thought you were in the business of saving souls. Venator: You'd have to have one first.
Silver	Yes		Silver: You're not gonna stab me in the back, are ya? Venator: No. Silver: Let me guess. "I'm gonna stab you in the front"? Venator: I'm not stabbing you period. You're a werewolf. I'm going to shoot you with silver bullets. Silver: You're my kinda asshole, Padre.
			Silver: Got a problem working with me? Venator: The Venators are a results-centric order. Silver: Bet that covers all manner of sins. Venator: You have no idea.
			Silver: Got any whiskey on ya? Venator: I was going to ask you the same thing. Silver: Damn. Wanna get a round after the ritual if we don't wind up dead? Venator: Why not.
Yamato	Yes		Yamato: You are the Vatican's killer, yes? Venator: Of sorts. Yamato: Good. Better you than someone with morals.
			Venator: How many heads have you taken with that sword? Yamato: I'm not psychotic enough to keep track, or weak enough to remember. Venator: Good answer.
			Venator: Harden your heart, Yamato. We have work to do. Yamato: Don't worry Venator. I've never been plagued with a soft heart.
