*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

 Clenching his eyes and jaws together, Iggy answered back from the pillows. “I’m not going to Firmin. I won’t go to Firmin for anything, ever-” 


 Derson cut him off, hastily, “Coward!” 


 Iggy sat up in a rush. “Me a coward?! You’re the coward! You’ve been looking for me since-” 


 “You’re an idiot. You know what it means if he catches up separated?! I’m gone. Dead. No more.” 


 “That wouldn’t be all that bad!” Iggy replied. 


 “Alright,” Derson vehemently sighed and narrowed his eyes, “I see you’re going to really make something out of this, but there’s a lot that I want to say and you’re going to listen to me. Got it? You give me a job. A purpose. And if I’m not doing this job, forget about me, Nansen’s real younger brother.” 


 “You’re better off dead,” Iggy seethed. 


 “Maybe you’re right, but even if that wasn’t enough, you’re my best friend.” 


 The room fell silent and they stared at one another.
