After the death of his master, the vampire Mr. Trick assembled a group of assassins wanting to kill the Slayer: this consisted of the humans Freidick and Hans Gruenshtahler, two German terrorists under the direction of an unnamed English man, human hunter Frawley, demon Kulak and vampire newlyweds Lyle and Candy Gorch. Each member paid a large fee of money to enter and arrived at Mr. Trick's mansion where the contest began.
