The Messenger Howard Losness

It is early morning and after dispatching the guards, Nazaroff has just enter the castle of Aldo Camboini where Pope John Paul II is spending the night. He studies the old man's peaceful face a moment before driving a stiletto into his forehead. He departs as quietly as he came, taking no notice of the most valuable and important symbol of the Pope's religion, the Shroud of Turin. It is only after he has returned to his home when he reads of the tragic dealt of the Pope and the missed opportunity to destroy the precious cloth. He vows to return to destroy it and anyone who gets in his way.
