Hell is a prison. A bleak and bottomless penitentiary made of twisted labyrinths and oppressive spires. As with any stockade built of despair and sin, there will always be those who attempt escape. An interminable journey upward, clawing their way out of the depths, over bone and skull and all manner of reeking and bloody detritus. Most will fall back into the amaranthine despair of the abyss, but some, a very few, make it back to the surface, to live out their demonic delights as sinners freed from their everlasting servitude. But they are hunted. Hell does not take escape lightly, and sends a demon to catch a demon. A powerful and unrepentant bounty hunter of the damned, Nefarious is as cunning as he is ferocious. He knows no rest, nor pity, nor empathy. He knows only what is his charge; to drag demons back to hell at any cost. He has no other purpose. He has no other choice. Long ago he came to Hell of his own freewill, a half-dead looking for his love, lost to the abyss by a tragic mistake. In order to take her back out to the light with him, he made a bargain with the elder God of the Black Earth. 66,666 souls brought back to the implacable depths of Tartarus, and only then, can he and his love be free.
