After a desperate, climactic battle, everyone assumed their genocidal Grand Father was dead, and they could forget that terrible night and rebuild their lives.
But in order to defeat a monster, one of them had to become a monster. Mark Gannon was given the task of putting a stop to Anton Weiss's killing, and in doing so was changed irreparably. While in pursuit, he stumbled upon a secret in the African desert that revealed their true origins and explained why a beloved ancestor had panicked and resorted to mass murder.
