People never ask for what they get. It's a fact of life. No matter what you get isn't really what you wanted. The Mayor of Carmel probably wanted to be an ombudsman, something went his way and suddenly he's the man in charge. Not getting what you want, that's life.
Me, I never wanted to hurt anyone, I want to help people. I guess I do, but how I help is much less reactionary than what I expected. Some days I blame Prophet, some days I blame myself, and some days I'm a peace with what I do. This was one of those days. It's no question that my work for the Order is important, but I want help comfort the sick and feed the hungry, not kill things in the name of God. I stress the word things, anyone in bed with demons, figuratively or literally, can't be considered anything besides a monstrosity. But I'm getting ahead of myself, let me start from the beginning.
I've always known where I needed to be, my entire life right place and right time, that was me. The funny thing was it never helped me, when I was younger, no more than six, a purse snatcher tripped over me while he was running from the police, he was caught and went to prison, I got a broken arm. It was always related sins, I foiled two arm robberies before the age of twelve and I think I helped catch the Parkside Strangler. Finding Prophet was the only thing my little 'gift' ever did for me and he was given to me more than anything. I refer to Prophet as a he because he's always given me that impression, I'm pretty sure there's only one of him in existence and whenever he refers to his race it's usually in the singular sense, I think. Even after twenty years with this bed sheet I still can't understand a word he's saying, but we get along.
With Prophet I'm always in the right place at the right time usually to protect people, save a life, or kill something. In most cases all three. This was one of those times. Blood and horror was at the end of the day, not that it's abnormal at this point in my life.

In terms of DF this is set around nine years in the future in about 2020. Exact year is to be determined, as well this is possibly an Alternate Dark Future World, as it is the future and events over the past decade have not been figured out yet. I'm currently working on the second part now, this was pretty much the epilogue.
