Underworld: Evolution Page #2

the business of killing your own kind

I've done what's necessary to survive

My decision was easy once your

precious Viktor betrayed me

Betrayal was something he did

very well

Viktor's dead

I killed him

You? Killed Viktor?

No I think not

Oh unless you've learned the truth

So your eyes are finally open

Ain't it interesting that the truth

is even harder to absorb than lies

You know I tried to stop him of course,

a travesty committing such a horrible crime

And then turning you

That was too much to take

My protest as to why he put me here

Careful with that dear...

... makes a terrible bang

Open the blades and they're active

Good to know

Viktor put you here for a reason but

I doubt its because you had moral qualms

- What do you know?

- Very little of anything...

... I'm afraid

Oh, then perhaps I may be mistaken,

then there's no use for you at all

Markus was after this

Why?

Some history is based on truth...

... and others on deception

Viktor was not the first of our

kind as you were led to believe

He was once human,

ruler of his lands

Markus,

he's the one

The source,

the first true Vampire

So the legend is true

Toward the end of his ruthless life

his next breath meant more to

Viktor than silver or gold

Markus came with an offer,

a reprieve ...

... from sickness and death

Immortality

In return, Viktor was to use his

army turned immortal to protect him

To do what?

To defeat the very first werewolves

A dangerous and very infectious breed

Created by Markus's own flesh and blood

His twin brother William

But these weren't the Lycans we know

disgusting as your brethren may be ...

... they at least are evolved

No these were raging monsters

Never able to take human form again

It's only the later generations that

learned to channel their rage

And William's appetite for destruction

and rampage was insatiable

He had to be stopped,

So once Viktor's army was turned ...

... the legions of Vampires under his control

tracked down and destroyed the animals

Then captured William and locked him away

Viktor's prisoner for all time

Why let him live?

For the same reason why Viktor

never conspired against Markus

Fear

He was warned if Markus should ever be killed,

all those in his blood line would follow him to the grave

So in Viktor's mind, William's death would

be the end for all Lycans ...

... his slaves

Yes

Yes a clever deception

but one Viktor was hardly willing to put to the test

So Markus was protected,

at all costs

Ah yes, here we are

- Vampires?

- Mortals

Men loyal to Alexander Corvinus

The father of us all

What's this?

You should know,

It's William's prison

The prison your father was

commissioned to build

"So you've been the one keeping

a watch over this for me have you"

What is it?

what's wrong?

She now understands why her

family was killed

But that was many years later

The winter of Lucian's escape,

your father knew too much

or too much for Viktor to risk

Especially when Lucian had the

key to William's cell

And I'm the map

Yes

The only one still living who

has seen its location

Oh Viktor realized you'd be too

young to remember explicitly ...

... but Markus knows that the memory and

therefore the exact location of Williams prison ...

... is hidden away in your blood

Why is Markus looking for him now?

After all this time?

That I cannot answer

But I do know someone who could stop him,

perhaps I could arrange a meeting

In exchange for your discretion

of course

Of course

Tanis, you seem anxious

Why do you flee the very sight of me?

Please, sit

There's no need for this to

be unpleasant

I always rather enjoyed

your company

Now you're being rude

Sorry

Viktor struck 2 keys,

what do you know of them?

Keys?

I don't know of any keys

Oh yes, those keys

Yes?

One was kept in plain sight...

... draped around his daughters neck

- Right there for you to see

- And the other?

- Kept with Viktor at all times

- Where?

Within him

Beneath the flesh

... perhaps I could arrange a meeting

... go to pier 17, ask for Lorenz Macaro

- How do you know he's not just setting us up?

- He's not brave enough to set me up

You can go

You're familiar with this then?

Intimately

You are Alexander Corvinus

There was a time when I

was known by that name

By any name I am still

your forefather

How have you stayed hidden

all these years?

For centuries I have stood by and watched

the havoc my sons have brought upon each other ...

... and upon humanity

Not the legacy I prayed for the morning

I watched them enter this world

And a tiresome duty!

Keeping the war contained, cleaning up the mess

Hiding my family's unfortunate history

- Couldn't you have stopped it?

- Yes ...

- Could you kill your own sons?

- You know what Markus will do?

If he finds me, he finds William's prison

You need to help us stop him

You are asking me to help you

kill my son?

You? A Death Dealer?

How many innocents did killed in the

Spare me your self-righteous declarations,

you are no different from Markus

And even less noble than William

At least he cannot control

his savagery

Anything I've done can be

laid at your feet

Hundreds of thousands have died

because of your inability to accept ...

... that you sons are monsters!

That they create monsters!

You could have stopped all of this

Don't come groveling to me simply

because you are weaker than your adversary

You know the devastation William

caused before he was captured

He cannot be set free

No, wait!

You're no match for him

Soon, brother

They're gone...

... there, there, my child, you are safe now

No, Michael

Look at me!

Michael!

Hello father

You are unwelcomed in my presence

Ah, the predictable heart,

that never thaws

Pity it beats within such a fool

The eldest of the immortals...

... yet you have made no attempt

to seize your destiny

We are oddities of nature

you and I

Nothing more

This is a world for humanity

And that petty sentiment explains

why you rejected your sons?

Why you stood by for half a millennium

as William suffered alone in darkness?

No father, I have no sympathy

for your petty sentiment

Viktor's key ... where is it?

Whatever plan you have for William

is futile, you cannot control him

Oh I am stronger now

And our bond is greater than

you've ever wanted to acknowledge

You're wrong, soon you'll be drowning

in Lycans just like before

Not Lycans father or vampires

A new race, created in the image

of their maker

Their new god

Me

And a true god ...

... has no father

You will fail

- Get the kit!

- No!

Please sir, let us help you

The time has come my friend

Find the girl ...

... bring her to me

No, wait, wait

If you want Markus, you will

need Alexander's help

Don't leave him here

- Did he get the pendant?

- Yes

He's too powerful for you alone

You're the only one older than

he is, the only one stronger

You could have killed him yourself

No matter what he's become ...
