*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 had no desire to meet his gaze, or to even acknowledge him at all. He stared into the distance, cold, empty. “I wish you’d leave me,” even his voice sounded blue, “let me die. Kill me. I don’t even know why I am still breathing. Just do it, already.” 


 Firmin lifted an eyebrow. “You’re on a rampage or you’re suicidal. Not much in between, is there?” 


 “You don’t know anything about me.” He was right. 


 Firmin tilted his head to the side and reached down to the straps fastened around Iggy’s ankles. “I know that you’re going to need some help getting out of these.” Then, he went underneath and unhinged the strap from the under-hook. 


 Iggy’s torso loosened from the board. The straps around his wrists remained intact, but even so, he still considered making a run for it. After all, that’s what he already knew he was good at.
