Slayer is a playable character in the 2-D fighting game Guilty Gear series. He is an immortal vampire and simply observes the cast for the most part. He made his first appearance in the series in Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival. Slayer is unique amongst the cast as being the first and only vampire. He is a refined and collected individual. He is extremely classy, but doesn't mind the odd fight here and there.

Slayer is actually the founder of the Assassin's Guild in the Guilty Gear universe. He returns to dismantle the guild, perceiving that the guild has lost its way after Zato-1's demise. During his "visit" to the world of mortals, Slayer finds himself often funning into various other characters. Having lived a lot longer than anyone in the series (including Sol and "That Man"), he politely asks all those who he meets to spar with him. KNowing he can never die, nor wishes to kill, Slayer will always offer congratulations and parting advice to his opponent.

As a fighter, Slayer is an extremely powerful character. Always ranking as a Top or High tier fighter. Slayer has the ability to "phase out" disappearing then re-appearing whilst moving forwards and backwards to dodge an enemy's attack. His staple movement is known as the "Dandy Step". Allowing him to gracefully step back and follow up with a unique attack, or move behind the opponent and deliver an attack. Slayer isn't a particularly mobile fighter, nor is he one for gatling combos, but his high damage output and simplistic overdrives make up for this.

Fun fact: If Slayer loses a match, as he is immortal, he cannot be killed or incapacitated. Instead, he lies on the ground, unamused and looking bored.
