Ignatius Blackward - Nightmare Creatures

A man of God, Ignatius travels the world, combating Evil. As a result, he is an expert on foreign languages, cabalistic writings, occult rituals, and shamanism. Urgently summoned by a parish in Chelsea, Ignatius returns to London. There, he listens to hysterical reports of missing parishioners and monster sightings. Some insist these events result from excavations at the St. Catherine Docks, which burned in the Great Fire of 1666. Later that same evening, a mysterious manuscript appears on Ignatius' doorstep. He deciphers the author, Samuel Pepys, the date, 1666, and what appear to be records of The Brotherhood of Hecate. An entry about an arcane formula for animating lifeless matter, alarms Ignatius. So he posts the diary to Dr. Jean Franciscus in New Orleans.
