| Abomination. Born into the tribe of the Shadow Lords, and originally named Wyrmbane. A first-class fighter (of the Ahroun Auspice), Wyrmbane strove to vanquish evil and corruption wherever he found it - mostly in a bid to show that he was the best. His impressive list of victories attracted the attention of a particularly brutal and sadistic Cainite - a Baali known as Paris. Paris tracked down Wyrmbane, and when the confrontation came, the two were locked in combat for hours. But Wyrmbane had met his match, and Paris defeated his opponent, but did not kill him - for the Baali had a far better plan. Wyrmbane became London - named in homage to his sire - and cast aside all the nobility and righteousness of his former life, embracing the teachings of his sire. Paris taught London well - too well, in fact - about the unseen powers of malevolence that lie dormant, helpless while they await their return to the living realm. London took what knowledge he needed from Paris, and killed him. However, the Abomination was a little too rash in his plans, and attempted immediately to set free one of the dark entities he had learned about, Lord Arrakon, by entering Arrakon's Hell-like realm. But London was trapped there, and Arrakon corrupted London's mind even further, stripping him of all his sense of self, and transforming him into his gruesome puppet. Only a matter of months later, a group of Cainites from the city of Maiden Newton, led by their Archbishop - Sir Daniel Fortesque - found themselves stranded in Lord Arrakon's Hell domain. Fortesque and the others fell neatly into London/Arrakon's scheme, and when they returned to the world, they took London with them. London immediately began his master plan of releasing Lord Arrakon into the world - this time by going about it the right way, and fulfilling an ancient prophecy by manipulating events to his own ends. However, he did not reckon on the Sabbat who had released him, and before long he was captured by Fortesque, after admitting to the murder of Cardinal Luis, and taken to the Languedoc for interrogation. After five months� incarceration in the Languedoc, London finally escaped his captors and returned to Maiden Newton. His first victim upon arrival was none other than the powerful and mighty Anthony Livingstone, Grand Inquisitor of the Sabbat. London�s time in France was not wholly spent resisting interrogation, as believed, but in gaining strength and power, and now it seems that nobody and nothing can stop him as he sets about continuing his work from before � the fulfilment of the Armageddon Prophecy. Once the Alliance, namely Tomsk and Zy, were able to determine how to read the Blood Chronicles, it was reslved that London must be hunted down and destroyed at all costs. However, London, with the benefit of a constant omniscient presence in his head, was ready for them, and was able to cause a lot of damage to the Alliance while in the meantime his new ally, the mummy Cornelius, set about continuing to fulfil the prophecy. The showdown between London and the Alliance finally arrived, however, in Tomsk�s haven of all places, and it took the entire group to take the Abomination down, with the final blows being struck simultaneously by Tomsk and Jemma. With London destroyed but Cornelius still remaining, however, the threat of the Armageddon Prophecy still hung over all, and the arrival of The Beast, did not help matters. With the destruction of The Beast - and therefore Hope - the Alliance had to act quickly to stop Lord Arrakon from entering their realm and destroying Humanity. Therefore some of them - namely Jemma, Paige, Rakh and Faye the Fairy - had to travel to the Ki'Nae realm, where Lord |

| Arrakon dwelled. Here they met with London again, for once enslaved to Arrakon, mere death will not end the contract. London however claimed that all the time he had been secretly working against his "master", with the intention of fulfilling the Prophecy and then destroying Lord Arrakon and seizing his power for himself. London's justification was that he at least would not have wanted Humanity destroyed. Whether this story was true or not is unknown, although certain remarks from Lord Arrakon himself would suggest it was true. Regardless, with the end of Lord Arrakon, London's soul is now supposedly free from the chains of the dark entity. May this be a good thing or a bad thing, London will never be seen again in this world, and therefore his true motives will never be known. Or at least, so it was believed. In fact, when the Guardian of Time, Dr Frank N Furtur, reorganised time to return the displaced 21st century Cainites of Maiden Newton, he missed a very minor discrepancy that gave London a loophole to cheat his death. Arriving through time in the middle of June 2004 � some eleven months after his defeat � the Abomination wasted no time in sacking the Mages at S.I.P.S.A. and stealing a potent artefact that he used to build a mystical bomb. Seeking revenge against those who had foiled his plans, London was less than pleased to discover that most of his enemies were no longer around, and in anger, he detonated the bomb, catapulting himself back through time by five years. During this time he tracked down Lord Arrakon and fulfilled the Armageddon Prophecy himself, and, as he had originally planned, he stripped his god of all his powers, and, harnessing them himself, he eliminated every supernatural entity on the planet bar his Lupine self � his corrupted evil Cainite persona of London was also destroyed. The Cainites who had been affected by the bomb were also stripped of their vampirism, making them mortal humans again, whereupon they found themselves in this new parallel world where Wyrmbane ruled Maiden Newton as Mayor, and everyone was happy. Lord Arrakon, now just a shell of his former self, masquerading as disgraced surgeon Dr Arran Loko, manipulated the former Cainites into locating the sword of Grand Inquisitor Anthony Livingstone, and use its powers of permanent laceration to decapitate Wyrmbane and thus ensure he cannot heal it � therefore killing the Lupine. In doing so (courtesy of Ductus Lucas Prowler), the effects of the bomb were reversed, and the Cainites returned to their former undead selves, while the world returned to normal. Loko�s plan had worked, however, and he too was restored to his former self, eliminating his defeat at the hands of the Cainites nine months ago. This means Lord Arrakon now is free to begin his plans with the Armageddon Prophecy all over again � all he needs is for another Elder to fall� |
