A decadently macabre tale of betrayal & vengeance set against a backdrop of mystical horror.The life of Leviathan is that of Victorian mythology; shrouded in lore, propaganda and mysticism. Born into poverty, educated in the art of alchemy and the occult, his journey leads him to the Cradle of Life - The Land of Gods to uncover the Greater Mysteries before embarking on a centuries spanning quest orchestrating the collapse of society for a New World Order. In his pursuit, Leviathan takes in a young apprentice - a former street magician and gifted illusionist named Mephistopheles, whose own pursuit of esoteric transcendence threatens to eclipses his mentors. When Mephistopheles' ambition results in the summoning of an ancient God who preaches the true gospel, Leviathan sets in motion a ripple effect that results in a power struggle for control. Now, swayed into the darkness of vengeance; recognized as a betrayer of man and woman, corrupter of innocence, iconoclast to the Gods and an anarchist against everything Leviathan has built, Mephistopheles sets out on a journey to destroy his former mentor, leaving a trail of mayhem and bloodshed along the way.
