I write this missive on the eve of a grand undertaking. My success is almost certain, but should I fail, I must insure my tale is spared in some other way.
If you are reading this, I suspect you are seeking the reason behind my future actions – a siege upon Rouen. You are likely a citizen of that viper's nest; I once lived there, as did the lord who rescued me from my miserable existence. It is for his sake that I embark upon this endeavor.
Thirty years ago, the Evil Seed descended upon this city, dooming those it touched. The one man who could have stood against its insidious infection – he even bore the name of angels! - was cruelly exiled, but in his benevolence he never forgot you. Had capricious Fate not stolen him away, he would be your savior, not I.
I will show you the way to a new and greater world, in his absence. You may find my methods brutal and violent: rest assured, they are necessary. Albion will make sure you understand.
But first, I must tell you of the events that have brought me to this point.
I must tell you about Raphael Sorel.
