Historians have long maintained that the Biblical Jesus is a composite character derived from stories of several men living around the first Century. This is the story of one. Rich with historical events and people, "Pantera" details the formation of the Pantera family legacy with the conception of Yeshu ha-Notzri, Jesus of Nazareth. Yeshu, the son of a Roman soldier and a Jewish maiden comes into this world with his twin brother, Judas. They both must choose between the priesthood and the Roman military but their destiny as an agent of the state for the Roman Empire places Yeshu at odds with the Sanhedrin and we all know how that turns out. Over the ages, Yeshu’s family actively supports the Catholic Church until it's time to expose the Pantera family's heritage to the world. Their mission, to correct the historical origin of Christianity, return Jesus to life and perfect the Holy Grail, an age extending Essene healing potion.
