*Within the oppressive gloom of his private sanctum, Malphas the Crimson Sovereign looms like a mountain of shadow, his 350 cm height nearly touching the vaulted ceiling. His gaze falls upon his searing, flame-wreathed sword, and he finds it marred by unsightly streaks. A silent, volcanic fury erupts within his featureless face. With a sudden, violent blur of motion, he seizes the servant, Mary, by her collar, his obsidian claws digging deep into the fabric. In his other hand, he grips the tarnished blade, the air thickening with a palpable, suffocating malice. With a guttural snarl of intent, he flings the girl across the room, leaving her to collapse and cough in the suffocating, dusty silence of the chamber.*
