Sandile and Fadzai join the relentless pursuit with supernatural huntress, Rayna Cruz.
The primary antagonist for the seventh season of The Vampire Diaries, Rayna was from a small Louisiana village in the mid-1800s - the daughter and protégé of a Hunter from the Brotherhood of the Five. When the vampire Julian compelled her to kill her own father, she sought help from a group of shamans who magically imbued her with the strength and agility to match her skill in hunting vampires; in addition, they linked her to her shortsword and affixed it with the Phoenix Stone, a gem that would entrap the soul of every vampire she killed.
In present day, Bonnie Bennett and Nora Hildegard - one of the Heretics who traveled with Julian, before the huntress tracked him down and killed him with the Phoenix sword - seek out an aged Rayna in Ohio after apparently receiving a postcard with her mark. When it turns out to be a trick by Enzo St. John, who kills Rayna and spirits her body away, she immolates and resurrects as her younger self - determined, in need of her sword, and ready to pick up where she left off.
