*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

 Iggy pushed into the lingering light leaking in from the hallway. His eyes were gleaming, but he didn’t reach through the bars, and he wasn’t salivating from his mouth, either. Instead, he was standing still, rather self-restrained and that struck Robert as odd. 


 “No, no. There’s no need,” the radio responded. “Just let me know when he dies.” 


 The hair stood up on the back of Robert’s neck and his eyebrows furrowed near the top of his nose. He held the speaker closer to his ear and paced away from the cell. “Can you repeat that?” 


 Through the radio, the responder sighed and it sounded like a blast of static. “He’s a dumper. The transplant was botched. A failure. No matter what, the left pulmonary artery wouldn’t seal. I tried just about everything. When I asked for the original heart back, Dr. James Kern already had it cut up.” 


 Avoiding the usual doctor drama of who did what, Robert responded back quickly. “I see. A dumper. How long should it be?”
