FOUR VERSIONS

REPORT ON RECENT SERIAL ATROCITIES WITHIN THE CAPITAL.

As yet no significant arrests have been made for this latest spate of ‘Monstrum’ killings in the capital. Seventeen have been reported so far.

A woman was seen leaving the apartment of the latest victim, professor Werner Von Croy. Described as Caucasian, brunette and wearing a pony tail, She is obviously dangerous and probably armed. Officers are being advised to use extreme caution when apprehending the suspect.

The press have sensationalised this latest outbreak of killings as “The Monstrum’s Dark Renaissance”, referring to similar atrocities in the capital and definite links to atrocities in other European cities over the last decade.

It would all appear to be the work of a single, highly psychotic perpetrator. The bodies were desecrated and all crime scenes daubed with unintelligible graffiti, indicating some ritualistic fixation. There are no known survivors of these attacks so far.

The suspect’s apprehension should be made top priority…..

REPORT ON RECENT SERIAL ATROCITIES WITHIN THE CAPITAL.

As yet no significant arrests have been made for this latest spate of ‘Monstrum’ killings in the capital. Seventeen have been reported so far. A woman was seen leaving the apartment of the latest victim, professor Werner Von Croy. Described as Caucasian, brunette, about 1.8m and of slim build, she was wearing jeans, dark jacket and a pony tail. She is obviously dangerous and probably armed. Officers are being advised to use extreme caution when apprehending the suspect.

The press have sensationalised this latest outbreak of killings as “The Monstrum’s Dark Renaissance”, referring to similar atrocities in the capital over the last decade, and possibly as far back as the 1950’s. There are definite links to atrocities in other European cities going back at least fifty years.

Forensics have made no headway regarding the bizarre metallic eruptions found on the bodies of all victims. At present nothing appears to link any of the individuals involved. There have been significant numbers of casualties within Parisian gangland factions.

It would all appear to be the work of a single, highly psychotic perpetrator. The bodies were desecrated and all crime scenes daubed with unintelligible graffiti, indicating some ritualistic fixation. There are no known survivors of these attacks so far.

Document 4. PARISAN POLICE AUTHENTIC DETAILS – GUILLAUME

Les offices centraux de la police nationale

Créés par différents décrets entre 1929 pour le plus ancien et 2000 pour le plus récent, les neufs offices centraux relevant de la direction générale de la police nationale sont des services à vocation interministérielle et à compétence nationale, chargés de lutter contre des phénomènes d’un caractère sensible et revêtant fréquemment une dimension internationale.

• Special investigative police offices, specifically created by dedicated laws in case of unusual problems that may arise.
• Backed by international information collaboration.
• With a national mandate.
• Nine of them have been created since 1929, and I think we could easily imagine that one has been dedicated to the Monstrum. And then, you don’t have to tell if the commissar is located in any arrondissement, as they have a national mandate…
• No real “profilers” for serial killers in France. At least, not publicly acknowledged.

Mirepoix is fine as a name, sound pretty old, like the man’s ancestors were mountaineers :o)

So I think your text could look like this:

Office central de la police nationale.

Commissaire Mirepoix, délégué aux crimes à caractère barbare.

A l’attention des services préfectoraux.

RAPPORT SUR LES ATROCITES EN SERIE DANS LA CAPITALE

The post The original Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness sheet music appeared first on Tomb of Ash.

To protect himself from the dangerous backlash of the arcane forces released during alchemic transmutation Eckhardt built the Alchemy Glove. This protective device of leather, metal, straps and rods was bulky and terrifying being fitted with vicious talon like razor tips for ‘harvesting’ essential elements from his victims. His murderous methods added to his already notorious reputation as the most powerful Black Alchemist of his age.

The Glove was used in conjunction with the keys of Prima Materia pure elements which Eckhardt sometimes wore on a kind of key ring at his waist. These keys or rods were slotted into various points on the Glove controlling the transmutation of whichever element he required from the victim’s body. The Prima Materia rods themselves had been created by prolonged and exhaustive processes of alchemic science known only to the most advanced adepts.

Eckhardt made much use of the Glove before his downfall and incarceration by the Lux Veritatis 1445. Having imprisoned him in the Pit of Pain they hid the Glove in a secret location kept under Lux Veritatis guard along with many other dangerous arcane treasures and secrets.

On being released from the Pit by misdirected Allied bombers in 1945 Eckhardt set about recovering the Glove. It was an essential part of his delayed plan to breed and rule the Nephilim race. He needed the five Obscura Paintings and the Glove, which would be used:
a) to ‘harvest’ vital purified elements from the bodies of murdered victims
b) to lock together with the metallic symbols hidden inside the five Obscura Paintings to form the Sanglyph.
c) Using the ‘harvested’ elements and the combined Sanglyph and Glove he could successfully revive the mythic Nephilim Sleeper. Once this was done he could establish the breeding programme that would return the lost biblical race to world dominance.

THE GLOVE WARS

The history of how Eckhardt tracked down the Glove and retrieved if from its Lux Veritatis guardians is one of horrendous hardship and bloodshed with no quarter given on either side. The trail raged across Russia, Europe, the Americas (involving Kurtis’ young father) and the middle East. It was a full-scale war carried on in the shadows of history, secret from all but those directly involved.

(The only other Shadow War to rival it had been the War of the Sketches, the fierce struggle between the Lux Veritatis and the Cabal to posses the Obscura Engravings created by the deaf mute monk Brother Obscura in the 14th century.)

The Lux Veritatis could not use the Glove against Eckhardt and his Cabal forces because its awesome powers could only be controlled by a true Adept of the black arts. But they did have other arcane weapons and used them without compunction.

In 1948 a Lux Veritatis stronghold, in the obscure mountain highlands of Scotland, was finally infiltrated by the Cabal using stealth and treachery. After hundreds of years of fanatical brutality the two forces battled it out within the walls and tunnels of the ancient mountain with a staggering ferocity. No Lux Veritatis survived. It was a devastating defeat. The stronghold was a desolate smoking ruin. The sacred Order was decimated. World wide there were no more than thirty or so survivors to uphold the struggle against Eckhardt and his sinister forces.

Eckhardt entrusted his Cabal sergeants with the task of hunting down and eliminating the last of the Lux Veritatis members. He was intent on possessing all of their secrets and weaponry, most important of which were the Periapt Shards that had been used to keep him confined in the Pit of Pain for 500 years.

With the recovered Glove Eckhardt was now able to initiate his 20th century reign of bloodshed and terror as the Monstrum. Investigating police forces were baffled by the particularly ugly murder scenes where his victims had parts of their disfigured corpses removed and were left surrounded by obscure symbols daubed on walls. Tabloid reporters world wide had a story that would delight and horrify their readers for decades to come.

By the early 2000’s the tale was nearing its conclusion. Eckhardt had recovered the Glove, most of the Obscura Paintings and the last remaining Nephilim Sleeper. He was about to unleash hell on Earth.
