To The Blood Sanctum common morals and humility did not exist, the money that funded this evil organization came from the constant slave trading and arena combat they practiced, many underground mob bosses and big shots thought it a worthy investment to visit the odd arena. Normally the arena had a constant flow of income, the greedy old men that run The Blood Sanctum should be able to feast on different exotic animals whilst bathing in the pleasure of the flesh, but recently their income had started to plummet, the reason? 'Perseus'. His strength exceeded common sense and his willpower was frightening, he thrived in the arena and none could stop him./span/p
