Conrad Lorenz, Inquisitor - A soul eternally damned. There was a time when he had known that he was doing God's work - until a horrifying miscarriage of justice opened his eyes. That was when Conrad realized the curse that had been laid upon him. He was doomed to wander the Earth until he had saved enough of those wrongly accused to redeem his soul from the guilt of the innocents he had condemned. Only then will he be allowed the peace of death. For those wrongly accused and in desperate need, there is one last hope for justice. That Conrad will cast his eye upon their case.
