Synopsis: - Damien meets Crassus, an intelligent first-generation Un-Man, who convinces Damien to join him on a journey to Europe in search for others like themselves, and in search of their creator, Anton Arcane. Damien has painfully started to mutate, and agrees to join Crassus. Meanwhile, the army searches for Damien, and the scientists responsible for his birth are plagued with guilt. And in Transylvania, an enslaved "freak show" consisting of Un-Men and queer-looking humans are put on display on a party hosted by an Alexiev Gogol. Crassus hears his brethren screaming in his head and he and Damien get closer to their location.
