Charlie Stone, a mercenary mixed in magic, is recruited by the religious secret society, the Knights Templar. The Knights are the protectors of all holy objects. He is teamed up with a female partner named Jessie. Together they must infiltrate an evil group known as the Cross. The Cross believes it is their duty to speed the world along toward Armageddon. Charlie is handsome, rich and loves the ladies. For the most part he is in it only for the money, until he learns that his induction ceremony has created a link between Jessie and himself. He is now her Protector. Jessie is unaware of this link and also of her origin; only the Knights and now Charlie know her true secret. He was once a husband, father, and a teacher until one fateful and tragic day. Upon returning home, he discovers his wife and daughter are trapped in their burning apartment. After an explosion, Charlie discovers both are dead. Charlie loses everything. Fast forward five years, he is now a mercenary, who implements both magic and conventional weaponry to complete paid missions. Charlie is cocky, rude, uncaring, a womanizer, and a master at martial arts. His magic skills are impressive but compared to those who have had years of training, he is still a novice. He is recruited by the Knights Templar as a “protector†and thrown into a world of religion. They tell him that he will be the protector of a secret that the Knights have been guarding for centuries. Unbeknownst to Charlie and the Knights is Charlie’s true heritage. Charlie is unaware that his real father is none other than the devil himself. This simple fact gives Charlie the uncanny ability to tap into the realm of magic and master skills quicker than others.
Jessie Rousseau, The Blood. She is the last Descendant of the Christ bloodline, yet uninformed of her true lineage. She is skilled in hand to hand combat, a marksman in small arms, and highly intelligent. Jessie has been raised by the Knights and has lived her entire life under their stringent rules and regulations. Jessie doesn’t posses any magical knowledge, nor does she know the important part she will play in the end of days.
Blaine is the founder and current head of the Cross. Blaine’s real name is Cain. He is the original Cain, who killed his brother Abel. After murdering his brother, he was cursed to walk the earth until the end of mankind. During the time of Jesus Christ, Cain was a big advocator of the savior. Once Jesus’ death and everyone else’s sins were forgiven, Cain believed he too would be forgiven and allowed peace. This was not the case. Cain cursed God’s cruelty and formed the Cross. The Cross’ goal is to speed up the destruction of mankind and start a war with God. Cain’s first stop is the Garden of Eden, in which he will eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Blaine posses the knowledge of both Charlie and Jessie’s true origin.
Thomas is the current head of the Knights Templar. Thomas was once a protector of the bloodline, but failed in his mission of protecting his blood. After that, he reaffirmed his faith by pledging everything he had to the Knights, including his individuality and freewill. He quickly rose within the ranks of the Knights. Thomas is pragmatic, highly skilled in magic use, and very dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the Knights. He has dedicated his life to protecting the bloodline, which means he is willing to sacrifice anything or anyone to protect it.
