The Initiate - Distortions Unlimited - Monster of the Month - February 2015
Creature and Story by Mikey Rotella - Released February 2015
In 535 BC he sought to take part in an arcane initiation ritual where the initiate would decend into the catacombs under what is now Italy to learn the divine sources of reality.
Deep inside the crypts he experienced dream visions that told him of the great mysteries of life and death. When he returned, obsessed with power, he planned to overthrow the magistrate and rule. He was run through with a sword during the uprising, but he did not die. He could not be killed. He had the magistrate tortured and ruled for many years, but every year came and every year he lived. Thousands of years have passed and still he lives on, ruling the world through corrupt governments and greed. Those who possess great knowledge and even greater wickedness. At the top of the esoteric ranks and bloodlines that control our world sits the Initiate.
