Biography
Black Hat is the leader of vampires, in an age where vampires and humans are at war with each other. He was originally a member of the Priests, a group of warriors devoted to protecting the human race, but was captured by the vampires after the Priests were defeated in battle. The Vampire Queen gave Black Hat her blood which transformed him into the world's first Vampire-Human hybrid, after which he became a devoted vampire leader. Black Hat and his vampire clan frequently travel in armoured trains during the day (to avoid the sun) and slaughter the humans in various cities at night, at which time they have no need to fear the rising sun as vast smoke and ash clouds from the cities' factories blot out sunlight. Black Hat arrives at a town named Jericho and offers the three Priests who reside there a chance to join him, to which they refuse. In response, Black Hat kills them.

One particular Priest becomes involved with Black Hat's affairs after his brother and his wife are killed in a vampire attack and his niece, named Lucy, is kidnapped. Priest and his companions Priestess and Hicks locate Black Hat's armoured train, where Lucy is being held, and Priestess places a bomb on the railroad tracks in order to stop the train. Priest fights off Black Hat's vampire minions and eventually finds Lucy, only to be attacked by Black Hat himself. As they battle with each other, Priestess places explosives on her motorbike and crashes it into the train's engine before escaping with Priest, Hicks and Lucy. The explosives detonate and the train is destroyed, killing the vampires and incinerating Black Hat.
