*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

 They dropped Iggy, board and all, on top of a steel countertop. Pater tore off his helmet and set it down on top of Iggy’s legs as if he were the table. Pater studied Iggy for a moment, acknowledging to himself that the young man was extremely ill, but even so, he looked so similar to Firmin that he was unmistakingly his son. Soon though, Pater couldn’t cut his glance short, and he found himself staring back and forth awkwardly at the two. 


 Iggy peered back at Pater, also. Reality must have really been bent, because Pater appeared more familiar to him than Firmin did! The gold of his skin tone, hair, and eyes was astoundingly similar to Nansen’s. Iggy would’ve done anything to have Nansen there with him. Anything. And because he was so desperate and longing for it, he fooled himself into believing that there was some sort of security with Pater there, instead. 


 “You look like Nansen,” Iggy confessed. “My brother, Nansen. Do you know him?”
