Jakob was only seven when he was summoned to Helmsgarten’s sewers by the Fleshcrafter calling himself Grandfather.For seven painful years,Jakob studied the depraved craft of his monstruous mentor,before being let loose on the populace of the metropolis. With the vague task of creating the ultimate being to rival the greatest creation of Grandfather,he is left with nothing but the flesh-stitched robes on his body and the loyal wight Heskel.Together,the pair explore a civilisation that is utterly alien to them,as they were both raised in the dark and damp of the city’s underbelly.
