*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

 The door creaked open and a black cloud flashed through the opening, then the door slammed shut with hostility. Firmin’s eyes locked on the shadows still, even though he knew that Halina had gone. His voice became unusually small, “Pater, why’d you do that?” 


 The dizziness was overtaking Iggy the longer he stood on his own. His knees wobbled weakly, and he fell forward with an arm hinged over a chair. Desperately ill and ready to collapse, he whimpered, “no! Take me with you! All I want is to go back to bed.” 


 Pater’s thick arm caught Iggy’s shoulders and he repositioned him back up to standing on his own legs. Pater sighed, “it’s better to get things like that out in the open as soon as possible. If you want anything resembling normal, honesty is going to be your greatest tool.”
