On New Year’s Eve 2006, 66 individuals went missing in London. These 66 have been immoral in the past and committed a crime that has gone un-noticed by the authority. Balthazar, a hidden villain who is psychologically affected by his haunting childhood, believes the only way to save these hedonistic people is to purify them with his own personal chemical (his blood). Balthazar’s only weapon is his syringe, he uses this to extract his own blood and inject it in to his criminal and immoral victims. Why does he think his blood is so replenishing?
The 66 corrupted return two years later, from captivity, they showed no signs of physical or psychological harm. They had no recollection of their kidnapping; however, the group of 66 keep one crucial secret. The infection is spreading through their blood, which has now become tainted, literally. Because of this they keep their arms covered and are hiding an expanding rash.
Now (2010), news of a pandemic is spreading, with many not taking much notice, assuming it’s 'just another disease' like the Swine and Bird flu. 65 of these previously captured have fallen ill; they have all reported a recollection from four years ago, where they saw a hooded figure approaching them before they blanked out. They then begin collapsing and having a fit that results in death. The one individual that managed to escape the infection by running away from the killers grasp four years ago (the one that managed to get away) is now exempt from the disease (but she knows far too much). She (Dylan Granger) is now 24 and unable to live a normal life because Balthazar is after her, wanting to finish what he started.
Dylan is a beautiful young female, she is strong and investigative; the immoral crime that she committed 4 years ago still haunts her. She was the driver at a 'hit and run' incident, being young (only 20), she paniced and drove away after hitting a mother and a child late one Winter evening. Later that year, after the death of her fellow 65 ex-criminals. She searches for the killer and visits the place of her attack. The underground station of London’s Charing Cross.
After much investigation, Dylan confronts the villain at a secluded station at Victoria in the late evening, Balthazar’s intension is to attack and purify Dylan from her sins. and they battle as she struggles to escape his grasp yet again. She removes the syringe from his hand, resulting in him being weapon less and seemingly harmless. However he bites her wrist releasing the infection within her, Dylan then slits his throat.
Background on Balthazar
From a young age Balthazar has witnessed and been brought up around drug abuse, his parents were users and also injected him. His family became homeless in his early life and he is forced in to a world of poverty. He sells and uses drugs – this is the only thing he knows and means he has to survive (copies parents). His abusive childhood, leads to him murdering his father; thus, believing that his mother will be safer.
Now older, he uses syringes to infect immoral humans. He believes that his blood cleanses people; especially the immoral people, in order to make them through the body. On the anniversary of his mother’s death; he goes on an injecting spree, to purify people. However, he starts a pandemic, purifying with impure blood (in more ways than one).
