*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

 Although Iggy had quite a few reasons why not to return, he nodded and together they walked back to the elevators. They got in, Baine pressed the MC button, and when the doors reopened, Pater met them at the threshold. 


 “Waiting to go up?” Baine teased him. 


 “He’s faster than a hare,” Pater grumbled. 


 Baine exhaled, looked over at Iggy, and then nodded in agreement. He warmed his tone so that it was friendly. “Yep. He can be. You should’ve seen him in the early days. It was like catching a firework. Once in the hands, it explodes, you know? So, where to?” 


 Pater waved his arm toward the direction of the examination room. As they came to, Firmin and Dr. George were standing in the doorway together, talking. “I’m sorry Firmin,” she apologized for the thousandth time, “we don’t have anything new to help you.” 


 “Isn’t there something you’re working on that will get rid of this curse?”
