*Due to physical disabilities, Iggy is isolated for his own protection. He only knows his two brothers, Baine and Nansen, and their world within a brick wall, called New Eden. In spite of his overbearing brothers, Iggy sneaks out of his room and goes into the garden during the day, where he comes in contact with a strange woman. Before he can say anything to her, he loses consciousness, and awakens to her biting his face. As his only caregivers, his brothers save him from the woman, but they cannot save him from himself. Soon after the attack, Iggy is overcome with depression and craves nothing more than to end his own life. But then, a survivor arrives, and changes everything for the worst and the better.*
*Baine infects Iggy with the virus. Iggy's body becomes perfect in all ways and he is granted unique powers (umbrakinesis). Things are going well, until Iggy sees the color red and his thirst reflex awakens. It is all a matter of time before Iggy's bloodlust leads the F.U.S military to New Eden, to destroy everything that Baine has created. Especially the infected ones.*

IGNATIUS The Colors of Rage

Jim’s face glistened bright red. “On this floor, all orders are followed through under supervision. You received the rule book. Read it.” Then, Jim’s expression softened, and he peered back down at the crown of the woman’s head. His voice sounded sweet, yet still tight as he fought back the remnants of anger. “Now, you have new orders. Open the cell. We’re going to put her on the gurney so that she’s comfortable.” He made one step away from the barred wall as it opened, again. 


Maria wheeled the gurney inside easily and slowly, and with it created a wall between the woman and Iggy. The woman’s jaw dropped and her fingers pointed toward the ceiling as she looked up with large wet eyes with a newly found hope that Jim and Maria were angels sent to help.
