From the log of Sebastian Shaw, April 20th, 2009
The day I was betrayed I swore and oath to return. As the Chopper whisked me off, and I was losing life, I could only remember how this all started. I challenged the local government, their ways, their corruption, and their greed. It was the purity of the cause that drove me, and soon all of those who joined me. The tragedy at the school only fueled the fire. Then came my capture and incarceration.
The cause was too strong though, and my knights freed me. The surgery to change my appearance was an excruciating experience, but a necessary step in furthering the revolution. It was then the time came to route out the local government, and question all of the governments, Local, State and Federal. The war began, and the victories were boundless. We captured the rail gun technology, and forced a Federal Task Force sent by Homeland Security to retreat 100 miles in every direction. We had many losses, but the cause ran true. We established a corruption free government, and began to restore honor and purity.
That's when I was betrayed. Dan Trask, a man I had turned to the cause, and trusted with tremendous responsibility, had attempted to end my life. This was a man I gave great tasks to, and completed crucial missions for the cause. It was Trask that I trusted to eliminate DA Hoefer, and he did with little prejudice and swift precision. It had earned him a command position on my staff. Second only to Eric Locksley, and Myself, Trask was a valuable member of the new Knights of the Round table. This position was not enough for Trask though. In his lust for power and position, the attempt on my life only cost me my second in command Locksley. Eric gave his life to save mine, he was a true believer and a hero.
In my absence, in the last year, Trask has gained complete control of the Hierarchy and the new Round Table. The cause has not furthered, and Trask has imposed martial law on our subjects. This martial law has allowed Trask to surround himself with power hungry commanders. Trask keeps himself guarded at all times by a select squad of highly trained bodyguards. All of them former police officers from his precinct, and all loyal to Trask.
The time has come for my return, the cause must be restored, and when I am in the right position, I will eliminate Trask as a public spectacle. I have started the ripples of descent. Slowly I have been making my presence known to my subjects. It has been a long year, and the slow spread of hope has once again started across the city. More and more of my loyal subjects have pledged loyalty and soon I will make a move against Trask. Those who believe in him and his power mad ways will be eliminated with him.
The cause is just, the cause is true.
STRENGTH, HONOR, RUINS.
