Some plague hunters, despite having mortal wounds, have managed to stave off the burning that turns them into ash.
They are often considered the hero's and legends of the plague hunters.

in 1993 Plague hunter Marcus was sent into a small town in eastern Europe, by himself, to investigate the activities of a new cult.
during his time there the cult made a mistake and unleashed an infernal hoard on the people. Marcus, despite numerous fatal injuries fought the demons tooth claw and nail, until he drove them back into hell, and the remaining cult members with them.

Legend says he let himself die as the portal closed to hunt them down in hell.
