*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 took a moment to gather himself. He took a breath and said, “these are amazing people in their own ways, just in trouble, and I think that with some goodwill, they’ll rehabilitate and live happier lives.” 


“No! No! No!” she refused. “You’ve got to be kidding me! For a year and a half, you’ve been doing this?! Don’t you have any idea what’s going on up there?” She pointed up at the ceiling. “You need to be upstairs, learning real things while you can!” 


That made Iggy remember that he had gifted Hailey a new biology book and now looked forward to hearing her interpretation of it. He enjoyed reading them himself, mostly in secret, and then come to understand how the same messages were understood differently by different people. He looked at Hailey’s window and... 


“Excuse me!” Emi crowded his vision. “Don’t ignore what I am saying!” 


“This is Hailey’s room,” Iggy told her. “She’s very smart. I’ve learned a lot from her.”
