Jesse Rentier is the son of the founder of the Rentier Institute, an organization hellbent on eradicating the world of vampires. You start out killing vampires and continue to do so for the 10-12 hours that Evil West lasts.

He moves up the chain with ruthless efficiency. He’s just there to kill vampires and then find whoever is commanding those vampires and killing them.
