![]() The Crimson Curse & the Vision from Beyond After years of these parasites leeching off his family fortune and good name, the Ancestor planned his revenge by pursuing degeneracy in its most decadent forms. Any restraint would render him a hypocrite and an outcast. He could have stopped them, but the weight of upholding his family name and societal stature forced the Ancestor to stoop and debase himself to their level, until eventually he too became a slave to his own appetites. The Aristocrats and Nobles of the Courtyard were the worst kind of humans in his eyes the Baron, a hunch-backed fiend who orchestrated grotesque entertainment at parties, his disturbing performances filled with such cruelty and depravity that any sane human would be sickened the Viscount, a ravenous gourmand with unhealthy and vile appetites who continuously devoured everything he could even as the once-fine feasts turned into a putrid slurry. The Ancestor, adrenaline in his veins, stared at the corpse in silent awe and horror as a morbid scheme crept into his mind.įor years had the Ancestor been forced to partake in the degenerated activities and entertainment of the vile Courtyard denizens, all in a bid to uphold his family name. The morbid encounter resolved itself in the Ancestor’s favour, with the Countess mortally wounded on the cold stone floor of the terrace overlooking the Manor’s gardens. He lured his prey to the terrace, and together they danced underneath the star-filled heavens but as the moment of murder drew nigh, a ray of light from the gibbous moon revealed her inhuman desires and designs in all their stultifying hideousness. Driven half-mad by cloying vulgarity and dwindling patience for his fellow aristocrats, the Ancestor plotted to rid himself of the Countess in a grand display of sadistic sport. While all the other guests were bewitched by her beauty, the Ancestor could sense something inside the Countess that made her a lurking threat. As he hosted yet another lavish party at his Manor, the Ancestor met a woman of almost unearthly beauty. The Ancestor first encountered the supernatural during his younger years as a member of nobility. Every time he returned to the vile denizens of the Courtyard, to partake in their degenerate activities and entertainment disguised by a thin veneer of sophistication and powdered wigs, the Ancestor felt his own sanity and patience dwindle.įirst Bloody Encounter with the Supernatural While his kindness and generosity made him somewhat of a town hero to some, the Ancestor considered his popularity to be but a temporary escape from his duties, to his family name and societal stature. Whenever he could abandon the Nobility of the Courtyard to their lavish, unbridled hedonism, he would walk among the common folk, raise his glass in the tavern, and drink with other residents of the Hamlet. While his childhood is a mystery, the Ancestor was liked, even beloved, in his youth by the people of the Hamlet. It is believed that the Ancestor was born in the Manor like his ancestors before him. They had armies of loyal soldiers to defend their lands, and they were unbelievably wealthy. Little is known about the Ancestor’s past or his family, only that he is descended from a long line of powerful nobles. It begins with an inconsequential event, transitioning to the Ancestor's interaction, and ending with the creation of a horrifying power that threatens the hamlet.Ī Noble Bloodline & Pressures of Nobility The Ancestor's memoir often describes a series of events that led to the horrors that endanger the Hamlet. This biography will mostly be speculation based on a reconstruction of the timeline of events that led him down the path of forbidden knowledge, his opening of the gates to oblivion, and his ultimate failure of being a human being. As paradoxical as it may sound, we know very much and very little about the enigmatic man who is our Ancestor.
