Haunted by his experiences in the Far East, where he was raised and trained by a secret society of assassins, Oliphant finds himself struggling to reconcile his past with his present. His troubled mind is plagued by visions of a malevolent entity known as the Slayer of Souls, a creature said to possess the power to extinguish life with a mere touch.
