LOTN: CHARACTER GUIDE
A group of Magicians, a religious alchemist, a French Crusader, and Death, all have one thing in common -- they know the end is near. Visions of an apocalyptic future and the discovery of a book of magic, holding clues to the end of the world, reveal it may not be too late to save mankind. Demons trying to fight their way into our world, use powers of possession, to temptation, shape history, and collect souls -- building a massive army of the damned.
