[edit] The Righteous Slayer
The Righteous Slayer is a fictional character, a Vampire Slayer from the Buffyverse.
Although her real name is not known, this Slayer is known for taking on and defeating the vampire, St. Just. However, because of this and other events, the townspeople accused her of being a witch, ending her life by burning her at the stake. As a result of her death, her Watcher, a male monk, let all vampires loose into the town. She became the Slayer in 1398, and uncommon to the slayer, her weapon was a sword.
