It's 1883 Europe. Adrian has been sent by the Order of Life to investigate a local disturbance outside the small town of Copacinalt. Sightings of a beast in the woods, one that would assault travelers late in the night, and often beneath the gaze of a moon bright and full. Hearing of this, the Order sends Adrian to investigate, and, if possible, eliminate and destroy all evidence of the foul creature. Without hearing a word from Adrian for one month, the Order sends one of their most effective veterans, Jan Vos, in search of Adrian to learn of his fate, and to pick up where Adrian left off, should he have failed. In his search, Jan, a hunter of all things evil, discovers he has something in common with the beast, and to his enlightenment, his very own origins.
