The first time I took a look quickly at the card I thought the person was a vampyre hunter and was about to decapitate the vampire that is just starting to awaken in its coffin.
Now that I really look at the card, I can see it's no vampyre hunter but a vampyre. If he was there to dig up a vampyre and kill him or to put his hands on jewels left behind by corpses he definitively got more than he bargained for. Whether the hole leads to Hell or the Underworld the man is scared and holds on his dagger for protection. Or maybe he went looking for the source of the fire and has just found it and he's scared. Indeed, we can see the whole cemetery is in fire, even the cross where the vampyre is taking hold for now, and the hole deep beneath the earth is fiery as well. His companion the panther is waiting in the back weary of the hole too. The man is dressed simply and in black, he bears a crucifix as a pendant, does he hope this will protect him?
The panther is the animal representing Scepters, the fire element.
