On the one hand, the good news was that they had discovered a member of The Darkness within their reach, someone from whom they could forcefully extract information to understand more about this Doomsday World.

Although Vlad and Fafnir possessed physical bodies that could surpass the strength of a Level 19 being, raw might was only one aspect of a Sage's arsenal. Once a life form reached the Sage level, its soul became powerful enough to awaken a new Gift—a Sage Ability—whose potential was nothing short of monstrous.
