SAINT GERMAINE

He is a being who claims immortality yet has died a thousand deaths

He has traversed the paths of mankind for untold years.

He is the purveyor of light in a world slowly being consumed by shadows.

He is Saint Germaine and death to him is nothing more than a state of consciousness.

Saint Germaine.

It is a legendary name. Long associated with being a magician in the era of the Mages, the legacy of St. Germaine lives on in such mysterious organizations as the Knights Templar and the Masonic Brotherhood. Revered by men such as Casanova and Cagliostro, even Frederick the Great called him "The Man Who Could Not Die."

Part of the Saint Germaine storyline is the love/hate relationship he has with his long time lover, Lilith.  She steals mens minds with her shadow creatures which suck up the memories and feeds her the nourishment of rememberances.  In her desperate attempt to understand life, she tried her best to join the human race, only to watch as her loved ones died in her arms of old age.  She blames Germaine for making her what she is...and now, she wants to take revenge.  Can even Saint Germaine stand against her army of shadows?

Brief Description: A compelling series of a man who claims he has lived forever. He serves as a protector of light against a world of darkness, a world inhabited by many strange beings such as he.

Key elements: Can cover a wide array of different subjects from horror to historical.

Association: Mix the key elements of Quantum Leap with X-Files and you can get a good idea of the potential. Add something like Millennium as the dark side of mankind is explored and it’s easy to see that Saint Germaine can move in a lot of different directions.

Format: A regular series 11 issues releases. One of the most acclaimed series from Caliber. Saint Germaine could work in virtually any format, whether a single story or a serial.

He knew nearly all the European languages, and spoke German, English, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Grimm affirms him to have been the man of the best parts he had ever known.
