The Italian Hunter at first appears to be a knight in shining armor. At Nadia’s most desperate moment following the train crash in Italy, the Italian Hunter rescues Nadia and tends to her various post-explosion wounds. But as soon as Nadia regains consciousness, the Italian Hunter reveals his true self, that of a ravenous wolf seeking its prey. Although he saved her from certain death, he intends to hold her captive and have his way with her. Nadia, of course, isn’t having it, and immediately moves to set the record straight. She and the Italian engage in a violent fight. And just when it seems like the Italian Hunter has her on the ropes, Nadia summons the strength to kill the Italian Hunter.
