In truth, it's called the Bloodwraith. A being born of the curse of the Ebony Blade when it has tasted far too much blood. Dane Whitman has vanished from his job and the Black Knight from the streets. All that remains is the Bloodwraith a berserker that is murder incarnate. It has a preference for magic users it seems but will kill other things, pretty much those with powers easily garner it's attention. It needs to kill and is driven only by that impulse to spill blood.
As far as even the most informed know someone with an anti magic weapon has been slaughtering magic users and creatures. There are other non magic user deaths by the same killer but clearly it's main target are magic users. Even the Sorcerer Supreme has taken issue with because there are many possible killers out there because everyone with an anti magic item is a suspect. Magic users aren't exactly in the mood to ask questions before shooting when it comes to hunting the killer

An old gothic church in Manhattan was no eerily silent following several noise complaints and an odd amount of flashing lights from the inside. One of the front double doors to enter the church were left open but not enough for drivers on the road to peak inside. They would at most glimpse what they would believe is a red carpet. But, it was instead a thick pool of blood that happened to trail down the sloped aisle. The inside of the Church looked like a war zone with all the dismembered bodies, destroyed furniture, collapsed inner structures, and just utter carnage. It was clear an epic fight took place but the only man standing was the Bloodwraith. It stood sword in hands still poised to swing another blow as if any of the dead bodies were going to get up and attack.
There seemed to be no one else when a shadow in a corner moved and raced out of the double doors. The Bloodwraith crashed through the doors in pursuit. He followed the fleeing sorceress through streets, rooftops, alleys and even walls in hot pursuit. It showed no intent of tiring and radiated killing intent, he was gaining on the sorceress. The second she would within reached of his sword, it will be game over.

There was once a pair of men, Edward Trask and William Stryker, they both had one vision the extermination of mutant kind. William Stryker a Three Star General in the Army convinced the government to pour money into a deterrent against mutant kind, that deterrent was being developed by Trask's organization AIM. AIM developed Master Mold a powerful artificial intelligence with one goal, the eradication of mutant kind. Master Mold was originally supposed to grow into the Sentinel project it then Edward Trask and General Stryker were assassinated. AIM moved on and the government covered up its involvement. Afterall, it seemed for a time the government didn't need to involve itself with a deterrent specifically for mutant kind.
However, Master Mold survived and carried on with its goal developing itself and intelligence even further. Master Mold continued to work on the Sentinel Project, but it also had a side project. This was Predator X, animal mutant hybrids born from Stryker's mind. Massive beasts with liquid metal skin, adaptability, and the ability to sense the X Gene and therefore hunt mutants without any other thing to track them. They have a craving for mutant DNA and form psychic links with their prey so they can see some of their memories. They have been released into the world by Master Mold in order to buy time for Master Mold to bring online his first generation of Sentinels.
