But first... they tried to kill me. They call themselves the Se7en. They are sin and salvation, and everything we've feared from the beginning of time. And their leader is the deadliest of them all.

That's what he told me when he took me as his prisoner. Kill one to save a million. That's what he's been trying to tell himself ever since he took me into his arms.
