Saint Germaine
Storylines
"Shadows Fall"
The first four issues featured the introduction to
Saint Germaine. Utilizing Manny Chancu of Raven Chronicles as a writer , we are introduced
to the world of Saint Germaine and his long time companion, Lilith. Claiming immortality,
Saint Germaine has ceased to find life worthwhile and is contemplating his death, hence
the opportunity for Manny to write the "memoirs" of Germaine. However, once its
discovered that Lilith still survives, Germaine has a renewed interest. Through out the
four issue series we find the origin of Lilith and trace some of Germaine’s exploits
in such historical settings as the Spanish Inquisition, the fall of Stalingrad, and the
early days of America’s twentieth century.
"Restoration"
Manny is given a "tour" of the historical
aspects within Saint Germaine as he witnesses deaths and images of many people such as
Bosch, Descartes, and Kafka. Scenes depicted here include the fall of Khartoum,
Napoleon’s invasion of Moscow, the Salem witches, and the Templar Knights. Although
brief scenes, this one shot issue gives an overview of the many different areas that Saint
Germaine has come across.
"Kilroy Mandate"
Saint Germaine has seen a lot in his long life but
is even he prepared to see the wrath of an avenger unleashed? As the mysterious figure
known as Kilroy plunges into the darkness of retribution, Saint Germaine must make a
decision that could violate his own principles. As Kilroy attempts to understand the evil
which he is trying to rid the world of, he and Germaine travel to an unknown place to see
the rise of Josef Stalin, Shaka-Zulu, and take a glimpse at the predicted third
Anti-Christ. But the secret of Kilroy goes much further than that as Germaine shows Kilroy
the very beginning of his reign as the avenger of innocence.
"Ghost Dance"
Saint Germaine…the man who cannot die and this
series spins tales of myth and history "Ghost Dance", a self contained story
featuring Saint Germaine and the mysterious Tarot reader who describes firsthand, the
Sioux Indians’ Ghost Dance which led to the final episode of the American Indian and
essentially, ended the Indian Wars.
"Man In The Iron Mask"
This issue, the immortal Saint Germaine helps out a
tormented soul who is a prisoner doomed to live his entire life in captivity. The
imprisonment is not for a crime committed but because of who he is and the threat that he
represents to the Crown. Germaine provides a brief glimmer of life for the prisoner before
death comes to claim him forever. "The Man in the Iron Mask" is another thought
provoking tale in one of Caliber’s most critically acclaimed series.
"The Tragedy of Falstaff"
Based on the immortal character created by William
Shakespeare, Falstaff is one of his most tragic characters and in this stand alone one
shot story, Saint Germaine hears the tale of woe from Falstaff. Formerly an influential
force with the young Prince Hal, Falstaff is ostracized by Hal when he assumes the throne
as King Henry the V. While Henry prepares for his epic battle at Agincourt which led to
the eventual unification of his kingdoms of France and England, Falstaff must stay behind.
"Casanova’s Lament"
Saint Germaine chronicles the life of one of
Europe’s most famous adventurers…the vagabond lover who infected the high courts
with his charm, wit, and persuasive manner. His claim to fame included his many affairs,
his escape from a Venice prison that was deemed inescapable, his frequent ventures into
spying, his service as a monk, and the fateful duel that finally catapulted him to the
rank of "gentleman of the court". It is a story that you only thought you knew.
A valuable friend of Saint Germaine, we witness the unfolding of one of history’s
most fascinating characters whose life was both tragic and uplifting….Casanova.
