About this title

Synopsis

The background is in the distant future, a post-apocalyptic world after the destruction brought about by Armageddon. The war between humans (Terran) and vampires (Methuselah) continues, as a struggle between two factions: the Vatican and the New Human Empire. Yet, amidst the bloodshed and violence, many desire a peaceful co-existence between the two species. However, standing between them and this goal is the Rosenkreuz Orden, a group of vampire extremists who manipulate the two sides and pit them against each other. To combat them, the Vatican special operations group "AX," led by Cardinal Caterina, must use everything they have—even a vampire who preys on the blood of other vampires. (Source: Tokyopop)

Main characters

Abel Nightroad997 fan favorites
External profile
A Catholic priest who seems to be nothing more than a clumsy, absent-minded fool on the surface. In truth, he is a Crusnik, a vampire of extreme, extraordinary power, and is an ancient being, hundreds of years old. He is a vampire that feeds on the blood of vampires. But despite his strength, he adheres to a principle of pacifism and often refuses to outright kill his opponents, also he has sworn to never kill a human again and adheres to that promise regardless of how hard it gets for him to do so. Abel is shown in flashbacks to have a hatred for humanity, but at some point that changes into his current pacifistic and peaceful outlook on life. He acknowledges having greatly sinned at some point in his life, though it is unclear as to what sin he committed, and much of his current personality is based on retribution for his sins. Abel has at one point referred to his Crusnik form as "a mark of his sins", though it is unknown what he meant by that. He has feelings towards Esther Blanchett, though they are more related to her similarities with a woman from his past. In his human form he fights with a gun that shoots silver bullets. As a Crusnik, is able to transform into various forms based on the amount of nanomachines in his body that he activates. In his higher forms he wields a huge scythe materialized from his own blood. In The Star Of Sorrow II, it is revealed that pre-Armageddon, Nightroad was Commander in the UN Air and Space Force involved in the "Red Mars" project.

Tres Iqus115 fan favorites
External profile
Father Tres is a battle android who wields two guns and works with unemotional, relentless efficiency. His functions are rather limited to combat situations. His vocabulary is devoid of emotion and genuine caring much like a computer or A.I., expressing statements such as, "Status report" in lieu of "Are you alright" and "negative/positive" instead of "no/yes". Despite the hollow outward exterior, there have been instances where he displays emotions. He is very loyal to Caterina Sforza. (Source: Wikipedia)

Ion Fortuna95 fan favorites
External profile
Born in 3045 AD, the Earl of Memphis and the Empress's Swords Keeper, Ion Fortuna is very young by Methuselah standards. The grandson of Mirka Fortuna, he is full of pride for both the Empire and his race. He is ordered by the Empress to act as an Imperial messenger and envoy to negotiate with the Vatican. Upon his arrival at the Vatican embassy of Carthage where Caterina was staying, the building caught fire, causing the Vatican's agents to believe that he was involved. He fled from Father Tres' gunfire, but was injured by a silver bullet. Abel and Esther established contact with Ion and Radu, and aided their escape through the underground passages beneath the city.
Caterina Sforza54 fan favorites
External profile
A woman of strong will and determination, Caterina Sforza leads the special operation group AX, a sub-section of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Her subordinates frequently solve cases that involve subduing or eradicating rogue vampires. She strongly advocates making peace with the Empire and the concept of vampires and humans co-existing together. It is this that fuels her arguments with her half brother, Francesco, who disagrees with the idea of peaceful co-existence. It appears that she has known Abel for quite some time, seeing how he had saved her from vampires when she was a child. (Source: Wikipedia)
