*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 nodded his head, acknowledging what he was being told, but not looking over at Bert in the slightest. A low raspy laugh came out of Bert like puffs of air, a shocking reaction. “You don’t like me now, Robert,” he interrupted, “but you will. Look at what I brought.” With his eyes still planted on Iggy, he slipped his hand into the pocket of his worn pullover jacket and pulled out a white plastic box the size of a palm. The small plastic box was clean and stood out against his brown tinged hand like a white speck against a black wall. With his two unkempt fingers, he clicked the box open. 


 Inside there were little fluid filled tubes with tiny needles at the end; a strange sort of prepared syringe that Iggy could have recognized without ever seeing them before. Bert picked one out and held it between his fingertips. Watching Iggy from behind the small syringe, he said, “this-” the tube twisted around in his grip “-is real medicine. And I will give it to you, for free.”
