CODEX OMNIVERSA

James Wright

In 1917 in St. Roch, Louisiana, Prince Khufu and Chay-Ara had been reincarnated as James Wright, a detective at the Pinkerton agency, and Sheila Carr, his femme fatale.

Crime boss Louie Moretti led Wright and Carr into a trap and demonstrated an uncanny familiarity with them.

When Wright discovered Nth metal inside the statue of a black bird…

I can’t explain it, but suddenly all the coincidences in my life made sense.

And I knew that Sheila was the only woman I’d ever loved, or ever would love. That I’d never let her out of my arms. Not for all eternity.

With the Nth metal, they took to the sky in a final moment together before Moretti, the reincarnation of Hath-Set  shot them dead.

William Constantine

It was the first of July nineteen-sixteen, and the night was deep and blue and beautiful…

Twenty thousand men lay dead or dying on the Scarlands of the Somme… 

When he returned from finding water for a dying friend, Constantine found a man leaning over the body.

The vampire opened Constantine’s throat with his little finger and watched him gasp and choke while his life came out in a spurt.

Jason Blood

In July of 1917, Jason Blood attended a party thrown by Lieutenant-General Sir Anthony Ashcombe at his home near London. They both held shares in the same munitions firm and were experiencing a boom in business.

Blood met arrogance with arrogance in talking with Sir Anthony’s nephew, Courtney. 

Not only could I end the bombing of London overnight, but I could break the deadlock of trench warfare and take the British army to Berlin inside a week.

Where war machines have floundered in the Flanders mud, magic would triumph.

When they doubted him, Blood told them to watch the skies.

On August 1, 1917, Blood found himself in the trenches as “the latest secret weapon.” 

I’m told you will have single-handedly destroyed the enemy by the time we begin our advance.

Indeed, Blood called upon Etrigan. However, he learned that the Demon was in control…

Blood then became responsible for the deaths of ten thousand men.

The War Ends

On November 11, 1918, Germany signed the armistice ending World War I. The horror was over… for now.
