"You've seen too much...know too much...and that knowledge is dangerous. The Gifted won't be satisfied until you're dead. Forget what you've seen and disappear. If you stay...if you talk...I'll have to kill you myself" - John Lazarus, The Infidel
"The story of the man who now calls himself Lazarus is a tragedy. Until only recently he was just a man...that is until he was viciously murdered. Now he walks again as something else. He struggles to come to terms with the reality of his new condition...and to control the hunger for human flesh that consumes him. His lack of acceptance of the Gifted and their ways has earned him the name 'Infidel', the great unbeliever."
- Excerpt from the journal of Michael O'Connor
"Among the faithful shall come an infidel...and he shall unite the faithful...and he shall raise his sword and bring death to both Angel and Devil...and the Dark Places shall be closed for all time..."
