The Beginning...
The final thoughts of John Hoefer, Prosecutor, District Attorney for the State of New York. May 5th 2007
"His name is SHAW, he is a mass murderer, A man who released a chemical weapon in the middle of the city. Our City,.. Albany. A scar across his face, one He put there to signify his personal triumph. It is he, a man without a soul who stands before this Jury. He stands here, smug and confident that you, you twelve will acquit him. A guilty man, one without remorse. He deserves a punishment that no man before has deserved. Death.....
Death is the only way we will ever be safe from this monster. I will ask you to remember the events of April 17th... The bomb exploded, 113 children dead. Massacred in their own school. Their lives choked out slowly, by a chemical that ate their lungs from the inside out. A toxin so corrosive, that rescue was impossible. Remember their faces crying pressed to the windows of the school, crying out for help, and all rescuers could do is stand and watch. This man deserves no sympathy, no leniency, this man deserves only Death. I implore you, the jury... Do not set this man free. Find this man guilty, and sentence him to no less than Death..."
These words were spoken shortly before Sebastian Shaw was sentenced to death by the New York State penal system. District Attorney Hoefer's argument to put this religious fanatic to death fell on the ears of an attentive jury, and Sebastian Shaw was taken to a maximum security prison, deep in the hills of Rensselaer County.
That evening The District Attorney's house exploded killing his wife and child. The cult organization known as "The Hierarchy" takes responsibility for the bombing. DA Hoefer survives and vows that he will personally lead the task force to capture all the members of the cult.
More explosions follow, The Chief of police is killed by a car bomb, several police Captains and key officers are killed various locations around Albany. They are being hunted. DA Hoefer is given command authority over the police and the Governor is quoted to say "Do whatever it takes JC- bring this Hierarchy down!"
AS the DA calls in help from a special federal unit, the unthinkable happens. The prison is attacked, and in a coordinated effort, Sebastian Shaw escapes and dives deep into the underworld to once again lead "The Hierarchy"
From the personal journal of Sebastian Shaw - February 17th 2007
The fresh snow has fallen, wiping clean the world around us. Too long have we sat here and watched. The corruption, the infinite corruption of our society. The bloodline must be restored, and the Monarchy returned. These feeble leaders know not what is to be. The balance, the balance is missing. Avalon, I weep for thee, Avalon I stand here to restore your glory! Like the falling of the snow, like the clean slate before us, I will wipe the slate clean. I will lead the Hierarchy back into power. I will start here and restore the heirs to the throne.
Carefully I must plan. An attack. YES! An attack is needed, a show of strength. Then a warning. Once this is done we will begin the war. We will restore the bloodline. We will bring Justice to the corrupt. We will bring back the balance. WE WILL PREVAIL.
I draw the sword and pledge my life for the code. I draw my own blood and leave the mark. The mark of the righteous.

POLICE CHIEF DIES IN CAR EXPLOSION
Albany, Police Chief Wadsworth, of the Albany Police Department died instantly yesterday morning as his police cruiser exploded in front of the Central Avenue police station. Witness' state that the chief was leaving from a routine meeting with Police Captain Hastings regarding "The Hierarchy" threat.
Officers flooded out of the precinct to try and get the chief out of the patrol car, but were unable to get close enough due to the heat of the flames.
The Albany City Fire Department arrived on the scene minutes later to extinguish the blaze. LT. Dan Markinson of the fire department stated "The vehicle was fully involved at the time of our arrival, there was no chance that anyone inside the car could possibly have been alive." Firefighters also stated that the heat was so intense it nearly consumed all of the police chiefs body.
once the fire department had extinguished the blaze, unofficial reports were heard that a car bomb was the cause of the explosion...
From the Journal of Sebastian Shaw 10/26/06
It has been 3 weeks now since I arrived in this strange place. My arrival coupled with all of these new things I have seen, has taken its toll. I have come to realize that the code is no longer. The people here in this place have lost their sense of right and wrong. The days of Honor and Glory are past. These people know nothing of the code. I am reminded of the code, and my heart aches for its loss.
His blade upholds the law. His sword defends the weak. His name will echo righteousness. Standing behind excalibur we will defend our country, uphold her honor, and stand as one.
why do they not know of the code. These leaders, their ways, they are corrupt, petty and without honor. I must spread the word of the code. I must restore the glory. I make this vow, I will restore the code, I will spread it value, until its the day of its restoration or my demise!
A speech given on the steps of the Capitol Building, Albany New York, April 4th 2007
I am Sebastian Shaw, the reincarnation of Sir Sebastian Shaw, 13th knight of the round table. I served England under the rule of Arthur, king of all kings. My quest is noble, my will is unconquerable.
I was born of Eric Shaw, my father, 25 generations later, I am the 13th descendant of the 13th descendant. I stand alone in this a new time, a new place. I stand for Justice, honor and peace. I stand to restore Camelot, and the old code. I will put an end to corruption, evil and the twisted government that taxes your minds, your pockets and your spirit!
Follow me my brothers and sisters! We will restore the glory, the justice and the righteousness- We will stand beginning here! In this City! We will fight the corruption! We will fight the injustice! We will fight evil!
The end of the known world is at hand! We will bring the change! we will bring Justice! We will bring peace!
