*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’s hands floated up as if he were being handcuffed without his say so. Firmin pulled out the small squared remote control and at the sight of it, Iggy’s shoulders slumped forward and his eyes slammed shut. He expected Firmin to reactivate the necklace as a punishment, but instead, there was a click against his wrist. He opened his eyes and looked down at the unhinged bracelet as Firmin pulled it off and stored it in his pocket. He did the same to the next hoop. And lastly, he lifted the remote to Iggy’s neck, pressed the button, and released the necklace, too. 


Trying to rub his wrists and his neck all at once, Iggy exhaled, “thank you. What a relief!” 


“Yes,” Firmin grinned. He peered up at the light overhead. “The sun is hot today,” he said. “I’m surprised you came out to play.” 


Suddenly, Iggy couldn’t feel the light, anymore. “I… I didn’t realize.”
