Storyline
Kraven follows the intense and dark journey of Sergei Kravinoff, shaped by the relentless and abusive teachings of his father, Nikolai Kravinoff. From an early age, Sergei is driven by a thirst for approval, yet this desire spirals into a ruthless quest for vengeance.
As the son of one of the world’s most feared hunters, he seeks to surpass his father’s legacy, embarking on a brutal path that transforms him into Kraven—an unstoppable and feared hunter. His complex relationship with his father fuels his transformation from a man in search of validation to a relentless predator, hunting both animals and those who cross him. In his pursuit of greatness, Kraven becomes one of the deadliest forces the world has ever seen, feared by man and beast alike.
