SPOILER WARNING: TAKES PLACE AFTER THE EVENTS IN LORDS OF SHADOW.

The New Lords of Shadow

In the year 1047 the Brotherhood of Light member Gabriel Belmont sought out and destroyed the three Lords of Shadow; Cornell, Carmilla, and Zobek. He sought the power of the God Mask, a mask powerful enough to make Gabriel God's vassal on Earth. He needed this power. He needed to break the spell separating our earthly plain from the Heavens. He also selfishly desired to bring back his fallen bride Marie. Little did Gabriel know, he was assisted by Zobek, who was secretly the Lord of the Dead. The three lords carried one piece each, making them immortal. Zobek devised a devious scheme to use Gabriel to kill the other Lords and create the God Mask, allowing Zobek to steal it and use the power for himself. Alas, even Zobek was foolishly deceived. For Satan himself planted the idea into Zobek's arrogant mind. Seemingly destroying Zobek, Satan took the mask for himself. Gabriel, using the powers the spirits granted him, sent Satan back to his unholy prison. Gabriel took the God Mask back to the Brotherhood Elders, hoping they would know what to do with it. The Elders—seeing the damage it could cause in the wrong hands—commanded it be separated once more. And three new guardians be placed to protect them. One thing Gabriel did not realize... was Zobek lived. After the Mask once again cracked into three powerful pieces, Zobek, transformed as Death, came to claim his piece back. And claim he did. Fearing the power Zobek would posses if he had all three, Gabriel heroically sealed a piece inside himself. Carmilla's piece. Little did the poor hero know that the dark powers of Carmilla were placed into that piece. Gabriel himself became the new Lord of Vampires. Later to be known... as Count Dracula. Now, 964 years later, in the world of 2011, Zobek confronts a transformed Gabriel once more. Warning him of Satan's imminent return. Now, Gabriel travels to see the new Lord of the Lycans. And that... is where this story begins.
