*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

 When Iggy awoke, he did not feel like himself. The aches and pains were vague, but they were everywhere along with a strange new grogginess that he couldn’t clear up. No matter how hard he fixated on not fixating on it, a sting penetrated his temple with enough force to break through ice. Even so, he rested easy, beneath a luxurious feather filled blanket draped over him, pressing him further into a cloud of pillowy heaven where white hilly edges lingered in his peripheral vision. At the foot and head of the bed there were four varnished wooden poles reaching up toward the ceiling, enclosing the mattress in its own little private temple. Soft yellow light glowed from above, illuminating the room with a smooth gentleness similar to the sun at the end of the day... well at least that’s how’d he imagined it.
