Making a few final touches, Professor Victor Von Gerdenheim nods with deep satisfaction.
For 30 years, he had devoted himself to his work. For 30 long years, he had cut himself off from all human contact, focusing on what truly mattered. His research would make history.
Life was God's gift to give, and yet here stands a man hoping to give life to his own creation.
The various pieces sewn together to make one whole have been treated with a special chemical to keep them from rotting away, and are now connected to a large power source. All that is left now is for the Professor to wait for the right time...
That night, amidst loud roars of ground-shaking thunder, huge bolts of lightning shoot through the lifeless mass, infusing it with life.
In the same moment, the vast electrical charges tear the very life from the body of the Professor, leaving him an empty husk. In exchange for giving life where it was not meant to be, he has lost his own.
The Professor's last scream thus marks the first moment of the construct Victor's life. With mind-numbingly slow movements, Victor rises to his feet. "I... am... strong."
Victor is driven by simple thoughts of victory and the notion of being the strongest, but in the back of his mind is the childlike longing to please his father.
His eyes fixed on the remains of his father, Victor lurches forward.

"I shall create life...!!"
One stormy night, lightning rips through the laboratory of the mad scientist Victor Von Gerdenheim. His experiment is a success, but sadly the very lightning that gives life to his creation takes his in exchange.
"Professor... I... am strong..."
Victor lurches forward, determined to show everyone that he is the "Strongest Man in the World," and to make his father, the Professor, proud.

Vampire Savior
Several months have gone by since Victor's little sister Emily ceased to move. As it turns out, Emily is also a creation of the late Professor Von Gerdenheim.
Seating Emily's lifeless body on a chair in the laboratory that they call home, Victor waits patiently for a stormy night similar to the one that gave him life.
One night, while Victor sits waiting quietly for the storm that is sure to come, he hears a voice whispering to him from the back of his mind...
It is the voice of Lord Jedah, who has sworn to make his comeback, "All souls become one..."
Taking Lord Jedah's words to mean that collecting souls would provide life for Emily, Victor allows himself to be lured into Majigen. Victor faces the ensuing battles, holding fast to the belief that Emily will return to life once he is done.
