• Three years ago, two viruses nearly eliminated the small town of SadicFalls. A small group of individuals thought to have eliminated all who carried it.They were wrong.Dr. Syrus Darius, the head psychiatrist at SadicFalls Mental Hospital and creator of the drug causing the lycanthropy virus, and Dr. Wolfgang Richter, the German scientist whom created the first vampire, have become accomplices. They let their viruses run free then went into hiding. The two were never seen since.

    As of 2008, there were approximately 6.7 billion people in the world, give or take. As of 2010, there is barely 1 million left. The lycanthrope virus steadily spread, striking nearly a hundred people per month, about 70 of the hundred contracting the virus over night,without knowing. However the vampiric virus was much more deadly; every night nearly 50 people per town suffered attacks from vampires. Those who lived to tell the tale,contracted the virus within days and soon joined the blood fest.

    A group of warriors who call themselves WICKED. They banded together to rid the world of these terrible monsters. The members included, the original vampire Cain and the first Werewolf Ex, they are also the only surviving members of the original WICKED. Their new members are two brothers Raziel and Gabriel, and their mentor General Mark Trident. Also with them is a human, Gabriel's girlfriend Charlotte, and a werewolf named Sam. The experienced many battles together, and have become close enough to one another to be called a family.

    However this bond would soon be tested. One night Ex lost control of himself during a full moon and Gabriel was killed trying to restrain him. It would soon turn out that Gabriel wasn't to stay in his grave for long. It is here that our story begins....with the origins of WICKED's greatest foe to date, Shroud.


    Gabriel was buried shortly after his death by his brother Raziel, the only people who witnessed it were Val and Charlotte. The others remained in the hospital which was located next to the graveyard. That night as the others rested a young man made his way through the graveyard to where the body of Gabriel laid. His name was Ryo, and he was sent to bring Gabriel's body back with him to his boss, Mr. Hamilton. He removed the body and wrapped it out in some sheets, without a word he made his way back to base.

    As soon as he arrived the body was taken from him. Scientists worked on the body all night, taking blood samples, tissues, even bone marrow. They were putting it all into a specialized tank designed for one purpose; Cloning Gabriel. It took an exhausting week but they did it, the body was fully grown and ready to use. However in a sickening twist, Hamilton had them alter the DNA of the body creating a vampire instead of a werewolf, and filling the mind with twisted thoughts of revenge and hatred.

    The scientists intended to wait until morning to inject the body with the serum that would awaken it, but Gabriel himself had others plans. Some how he awoke ahead of time, at first he was afraid, he was trapped inside a large tank, filled with a green liquid, wires and tubs were attached to him. In a fit of rage that came over him as his memories returned he broke out of the tank. The scientists screamed as they saw their newest creation had escaped, in no time at all he savagely ripped them apart.

    As he made his way through the base he was confused and disorientated, he remembered dying and now that he was brought back he felt only pain. He stopped when he came upon a door, it was red and looked to be far nicer then the others, so he entered. "Ah John how nice of you to come visit." The man sitting behind the desk said as Gabriel entered. "Who are you and how do you know that name." Gabriel asked him. "My dear boy, how could a father not know his own sons name." The man said as he stood up and walked around to the front of the desk. "Father...." Gabriel's eyes were wide with shock. The man went on to explain who he was, and that Gabriel's name was actually, John Hamilton, and his brothers name was Ray.

    He went on further to explain that Ray was his first experiment and was indeed a failure. "So what am I then...father?" Gabriel asked his father. His father took a moments pause before he answered. "You are a success, you and you alone will rid the world of vampires and werewolves starting with WICKED. Don't you see, if the originals are left alone then there will always be pure blood to be used to create more monsters, they must be stopped. Hate them, hate them all, and rid the world of it's plague." Gabriel smiled at his father, the look in his eye had changed and his voice was cold and emotionless. "Ah but father...why would I stop there, after all it is not just vampires and werewolves that caused the world so much damage. Humans are more to blame if anything. The only true way to bring peace is to cleanse the world of all three of those races." Gabriel grabbed his father by the throat and threw him against the opposite wall. His father shouted. "Gabriel you can't do this." Gabriel picked up a mask off the wall, it was an expensive piece of art, he put it on noted that it fit perfectly. "I can and I will. Oh and my name is not Gabriel. Gabriel you see died a week or so ago, no, I am not Gabriel. Call me...Shroud." With those final words Shroud left the room.
