Hasgard of Taurus

Hasgard of Taurus, the most physically imposing Gold Knight, descends into the Inferno with a single obsession: finding Alone and attempting to reason with the man he once knew. For Hasgard knew Alone before the war — a personal connection that makes his fight against the forces of the Underworld more painful.

Violate, a female Specter of icy beauty and cruelty, intervenes. Their confrontation reveals the layers of manipulation surrounding Alone — the man is no more than a receptacle for Hades' consciousness, and his painting advances inexorably. Sisyphus moves toward the Lost Canvas with his sacred arrow, the narrative tension at its peak.
