The time is the distant future. More than 30,000 years have elapsed
since the 4the era in man's history, known as "The Post-Catastrophe
Epoch," has begun. Our sacred planet's landscape has changed
dramatically and so have the tribes of men. Mutation is widespread
amongst the animal and plant species, but also among men. The "new
world" is infested with cruelty, sorcery and magic. Power,
corruption and savagery rule, the exceptions being few The Baron
Scaramander, Overlord of evil on Earth, has made ready his massive
armies of Mongolon anthropoids, the Phalanxes of the savage female
Mermedons, the mutant throng, the beastly hordes and the thousands
of Devil Riders. The evil host will soon pour out of the Dark
Lands, pouncing upon the unsuspecting world of man, intending on
enslaving it forever. But veiled from the rest of the world, on
their mystic isles, the Warriors of Assassin are aware of the plans
of evil. For thousands of years the Assassin Masters have been
preparing for the epic "Wars of End," as foretold by Seers and
Prophets. Strengthened by the intake of "Xhnus-sah," the "Sacred
Brew," (a life extending and vision-enhancing drag), these virtuous
Warriors of Light and protectors of "The Way," are the only power
on Earth capable of resisting the forces of Darkness. Their leader
Alexander Fabius Han Yakatu, the Immortal Assassin Master, is an
enlightened man whose physical and spiritual abilities are
unsurpassed by any other. The Master knows that a Messiah-warrior,
bearer of "The Sword of Fire," will descend from The One Absolute,
yet be born of Earth. The Avatara man-god will be the only one
capable of uniting the forces of humanity, and in league with the
Assassin Legions, of whom he will become the liege, will stand in
the way of evil. "And he shall be born 'Gorga of Arrgonn', yet he
is destined to become 'Gorga Lord of Assassin'. And the irreverent
enemies of man and God will keep scattering at the mere sound of
his name, dread and dismay seizing their spiritless bodies," so it
has been written in the Assassin Prophesies of old. When Gorga is
born in the village of Khedaras, in the "Lands of Snow," evil will
unleash its barbaric agents to murder the child. But the Immortal
Master has other plans. He will travel to the northern snow-lands
and disguised as a frail old man, will become the teacher, friend,
and protector of the child. Fourteen years later, 200 Kopt savages
will attack Gorga's village, killing every living creature in it,
murdering his father and abducting Massaala, his mother. On that
day, Gorga will turn into a merciless warrior of vengeance. And all
hell will break loose, as his hand will become the hand of death.
And one by one the murderers of his people will be cut down. In
their pursuit of the Kopts, Gorga and Yakatu will confront
Sartannah, Scaramander's Prime Sorceress, the mighty Mongolons and
the "Dark Angels," the two ruthless bodyguards and lovers of
Sartannah, Commanders of the fearsome Mermedons. Unbeknown to all
but Scaramander and Sartannah, Aakiko and Mei-Mei are in reality
two Assassin girls, who were abducted from their homeland when mere
babies, then nurtured by the Overlord of evil to be his obedient
servants. The epic adventure continues, as the Sorceress, the
remnants of her entourage, and the enslaved Massaala, leave the
Land of Kopt on board their black ship. But Gorga is determined to
follow his enemies to the end of the seas and beyond. The pursuit
will take the hero to new deadly adventures, eventually bringing
him face to face with The Scaramander. I, Nimrod Jared Cain, High
Shepherd and Rabbi, elected leader, Scribe and Keeper of the
Official Records of my tribe of 111 "Detachables" (whose fate I
have recorded in a testimony I appropriately named "The Book Of
Hope"), I have the privilege to bear witness of the high-times and
adventures of our lord and master the Messiah, Gorga Liege of
Assassin, the greatest of heroes among men.
