Serpent of the Light. Secretive and sly (as with all Serpents), Osiris is a recent addition to the Temple of Maiden Newton. He has, however, made an impact upon Grand Inquisitor Anthony Livingstone, by volunteering himself to take care of the baby Hope, whose death is referred to in the Armageddon Prophecy as the final portent before the ascension of Lord Arrakon. Together with the rest of his Pack, Osiris successfully abducted the newborn baby, incurring both the wrath of Police Chief Armin Velderra, and the unwelcome attention of The Prophets. Indeed, with the great interest that lies in Hope, Osiris has already suffered, particularly at the hands of the Prophets, who succeeded in abducting Hope from the virtually impregnable haven of Shane Orton, Osiris' ally. Although Osiris and the Pack of the Sane recovered Hope, during the mission Osiris demonstarted his cowardly real self, and was therefore stripped of Hope's guardianship by Livingstone.

Osiris� lack of cowardice was soon to be put to the test, for an encounter with London led to the Abomination coming into the possession of the Serpent�s secretly hidden heart. Giving Bishop Jemma the choice between her unlife or his, Osiris made the decision for her, and, using his unique Serpent powers, breathed corroding acids over his own heart, withering and decaying it, and taking with it his own unlife. Foolish or courageous, with his destruction, the hope that lay with the prophecy of the Cardinals of Humanity was lost. |
