Hellgate: London Storyline

This information is based on Dark Horse's Hellgate: London Comic Issue #0 (the E3 Special Edition).

The Assault on All Hallows Eve

"If you're going through hell, keep going." – Winston Churchill

After Lord Sumerisle has explained the ancient Templar order's holy call to combat evil, and that he and the mercenaries coming to this place are all members of the Knights Templar, he sends Darius and little Jessica to the Tottenham Court Road tube station, having access to the British Museum, which is now serving as a refuge. On the way out, they are attacked by hordes of demons and zombies, and Lyra is forced to leave their car and travel by foot, carrying Jessica, crying for being separated from her grandfather and violently protesting at Darius for carrying her away.

Two weeks later, Sumerisle reunites in the refuge, apparently having survived the battles. They now have to move on as the refuge is no longer secure enough. Sumerisle explains they intend to attempt a full assault on the primary Hellgate at St. Paul's Cathedral that same day, on All Hallows Eve. It may be a lost battle due to the overwhelming odds, but the plan is to make the demons believe they have wiped out all of the Templar's. The Templars operate best from the shadows, and the demonic forces have now come to know them too well, seeking and hunting them down. On their way there, Sumerisle unfortunately falls in battle.

Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth

"As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it." – Chanayka

London, 2038. 18 years later. Jessica has grown to be a Templar in her twenties, leading a large force of others. Yet again, it is All Hallows Eve, a day that has turned from being a masquerade for children to flirt with fear, to remember and honor those who have sacrificed their lives in their fight against the transdimensional abominations. The Templars have again grown in force, and shall give hell to those that brought hell upon them...

The fate of humanity lies in your hands.
