The cult of Brother Blood is over 700 years old. It began when a Christian priest named Brother Sebastian came upon what may be the prayer shawl of Christ. Whatever it was, it gave him invulnerability and drastically slowed his aging process. In order to gain the shawl, Sebastian had to slay the priest that led the Crusade's armies to invade Zandia. With his dying breath, the rebel priest cursed Sebastian, saying that the son must slay the father before the father's 100th birthday. Ignoring the curse, Sebastian donned the mantle and declared himself Brother Blood. It was this Brother Blood who began the practice of bathing in blood. | ||||
There were seven Brother Bloods before the current one, who was born in 1941. The 20th Century Blood had the benefit of an Oxford education and extensive travels. He eventually returned to Zandia, slew his father, and became the new Brother Blood. |
