Van Helsing[]
At the Order's headquarters in Vatican City, Cardinal Jinette, although somewhat angry and upset by Van Helsing, because he could not capture Mr. Hyde alive, Jinette gives Van Helsing the mission to go to Transylvania, destroy Dracula and protect the two survivors of an ancient Romanian family, the Valerious. For his ancestor, Valerious The Elder swore that his descendants would not rest in peace in Heaven until they killed Dracula or would spend eternity in Purgatory. He gives Van Helsing the corner of a medieval painting that reads "In the name of God, open this door" and bears the same insignia as Van Helsing's ring.
