Iconic Item: The Shadowspear – The Shadowspear is a magical storm which was created by Saker to destroy the world. When Saker was beaten by the Elementals, the Shadowspear lost its master and now acts randomly. Its actions cause freakish mutations in beings it connects with and can bestow superhuman powers upon those who have died horrific deaths This is very similar to the Elementals’ origins, yet the Shadowspear creations tend to possess a hatred for the Elementals and seek to destroy them.

Biography:

 Saker is Lazarus, and Christ cursed him by making him an immortal with nothing to live for. Saker’s origin story begins with him cursing Jesus as Christ dies on the cross, then going on to become an inquisitor, a witch burner and a Nazi. In other words, he’s a bad dude.

In the 1980s, Lord Saker tried to control the Earth via a tool called the Shadowspear. An innate universal force responded by taking four people who died in accidents, each related to one of the four elements (fire, water, wind and earth), and brought them back to life. They all found they had powers related to the element that caused their death and then found they were dutybound to defeat Saker on the Earth’s behalf. The Elementals eventually found Saker on his island base, where he was protected by a small army and a group of paranormals he dubbed his Destroyers.

Saker’s personal military squad is entirely female. The reason behind this is never made clear, but there are hundreds of them and they exhibit high levels of training and dedication.

Saker was banished to Hell, where he was was eaten by demons again and again, but he eventually found his freedom and returned to his plotting. He convinced Tommy Czuchra (Monolith) to abandon the other Elementals and become his apprentice, training the boy in the mystic arts.

Post-Shadowspear, Earth is routinely stalked by a variety of supernatural creatures, most of which feed on or kill humans for sport. Cleveland is the hunting ground for a crazed vampire, ancient spirits from mythology turn out to be very real, and Earth is invaded by demonic forces in volume 2.
