Origin
Earth 714, year 2041
"He was old, blind, and wheelchair bound when I found him. The last surviving human in the wastelands. His genetic structure was intact, unlike ours. He'll have to do."
"When we preached on the Nephilim in the early turn of the Millennium, they didn't listen. We'd created a culture of hero-worship, and men didn't need a God from an old book when they had one on television. Now the 'saviors of humanity' rule from their thrones, watching from their towers, and we are all their slaves. So it is as it was in the days of Noah."

"The tore his eyes out with a fork. Then they told him to run. They let their children shoot at him. His body is broken and full of shrapnel. His brain is damaged. I can only try."
Earth 714, year 2005
"It's difficult to call this success. He was far more damaged than we realized. I have no idea how he survived to tell us his tale out there in the wastelands. He is functional. He will have to do."

"The boy is working. No weapons systems, nothing like the Armiger I dreamed would save us all- but good enough for now. His genetic code is changed completely. He is no longer human in body. When his mind is restored, I pray to the Almighty he will think himself a man, one of us."

"They have launched their purge, as our records said they would on this day. The Boy- the Armiger fought well. He could save us."
Earth 714, year 2009
"They have unleashed their own weapon... that Nephilim, engineered through their own sick perversion of science... the Son of Semjazi reborn. We cannot win here. All hope is lost. In that complex tangle of realities and possibilities, I can find a place for us. A place for him. He should awaken. He should feel as we do, think as we do. I know where we will go, and the Boy's mother... we need her."
Millennium City, year 2011
"He knows nothing of what happened over the last years since his 'death' in Afghanistan. We've placed him in a small home, and established the 'program' to further develop him. If I cannot create the Reckoning, I will create fury incarnate."
