Iscariot
Who, When, and What: The Vatican's Monster Hunting Organization. Sometimes called "The Inquisition" in modern times, however, it generally focuses less on 'heresies' and more on actual monsters. Their ranks are made up of 'the chosen' - people with various enhancements, various priests and nuns performing holy rites, and mercenaries to deal with lesser physical threats while The Chosen go to town on the biggest threats.

When a Slayer cannot be in every place at once (until recently). So, some organizations had to make do with other warrior women. The Magdalena are a secret order of normal human (non-potential) female warriors who were sent on missions similar to those Slayers would be sent on. The girls chosen for this order were, supposedly, descendants of the prophet called Christ and Mary Magdalen (hence the name).
The stats above represent a standard Magdalena who has completed her training and is sent on missions. The Buffy/Angel comic series "Past Lives" describes (distorted) a rogue Magdalena out to slay Angel (and features a bust of Hellboy in Giles Office, so keep your eyes peeled!).
A second, largely unused effect of the Spear of Destiny is as a flat +10 bonus to Battle tests if it is held by a commander during the use of the Mass Battle System. If that commander is slain, the effect is lost. It only applies to a commander. If it is wielded by a soldier, it confers no bonus to Battle tests.

Alexander Anderson is the Vatican's #1 Monster slayer. He is an ordained priest and actually a very nice, compassionate person to those in his care. He runs an orphanage when not on missions. However, on the battlefield, he is absolutely ruthless. He has a rivalry with Hellsing's Alucard--partly because of his nature, partly for the thrill of it.

The Head of Iscariot, Enrico is not a man of action, but more of a bureaucrat. That doesn't mean he isn't good at his job, just don't expect him to put up much of a fight once his guards have been taken down. He is also an old-school Catholic Zealot, who hates Protestants as much as any other "Monster".

A young woman who had been through a lot in her short life and got into even more trouble after she died. She was paralyzed from the neck down when she was young and left in an orphanage for over a decade before a nun, driven to madness, euthanized her. Then someone tried to hide a halo in her corpse. This brought her back to life, and granted her the powers of having the Halo, and drawn into Iscariot to both control her abilities and do good in the world, and she does want to do good in the world. It's just... she kind of missed out on life for so long she wants to live some of that too.

Sister Beatrice is an ideal Warrior Nun. Strong in her faith, her compassion, and her fists. She understands the mission to help people more than most and doesn't really enjoy political movement within the church itself.

Sister Lilith does not tell people what her name was before she was infected with demonic abilities. She once was a proud warrior nun, believed she had to skills and right to wield the power of the Halo more than anyone else... until she was infected. Now, she sees that she was wrong, what her pride had her do, and he views her demonic abilities as a punishment. However, it is one she believes she can use to make up for her past mistakes.
"Shotgun Mary"

Kick - 15 - 12 - Bash
Shotgun - 18 - 25 - Bullet, Silvered, Holy
Shotgun-But - 18 - 14 - Bash
Shotgun Mary is not a Warrior Nun. She is just another Demon Hunter, but one who works directly with the Sisters of the Cruciform Sword to stop demons. She is also able to do things that the nuns cannot (they've taken vows, after all), and they do not ask her to do those things.
But they are willing to reap the benefits.
And she's fine with that.

Punch - 12 - 6 - Bash
Robin is a talented pyrokinetic, taken in as an orphan by the church, her abilities got the eyes of Father Anderson who helped teach her how to defeat various monsters. She grew in talent and strength -- and became disgusted with how Enrico Maxwell handled Iscariot. This led to a lot of fire and friction between her and some of the order, until Maxwell died in the "Millenium Incident."

- TTH - 13 - 11 - Slash/Stab, x5 vs Vampires
Jack Crow is a crusader. No, not that he is a zealot mindlessly acting in what he feels is the greater good while doing horrible things. No, he's a mercenary who got the best gig in the world -- killing things and living it up all while being 'absolved' of sins by the Church. His only real skills are killing things and fast talking, and he'll use both to get the job done.
The job? Killing vampires. Other monsters, too, but there's just so many vamps.
Vatican Mercenary
Motivation: Hunt Vamps, Live it Up!
Critter Type: Human
Attributes: Str 4, Dex 4, Con 3, Int 2, Per 2, Will4
Ability Scores: Muscle 14, Combat 14, Brains 10
Life Points: 44
Drama Points: 0-3
Special Abilities: Demon Hunter, Hard to Kill 2
Name - Score - Damage – Notes
Punch - 14 - 11 - Bash
Kick - 13 - 13 - Bash
Crossbow - 14 - 19 - Slash/Stab, Silvered, Holy
Big Pistol - 14 - 18 - Bullet, Silvered, Holy
Shotgun - 14 - 23 - Bullet, Silvered, Holy
Stake - 14 - 11 - Slash/Stab
- TTH - 11 - 10 - Slash/Stab, x5 vs Vampires
These stats represent people like Jack Crow, but not as skilled as he is. They're good at their job, but the Vatican considers them extremely expendable. Their warrior priests and nuns are used in more important, delicate business. They are surgical tools compared to the mercenaries' meat cleavers.
Note: I've gone with the more popular film and television versions of some of these characters. The Novel Vampire$ and comic for Warrior Nun Areala are very different beasts from their adaptations, so adjustments should be made if you wish to use those versions.
