Lore: In the 14th century, the Knights Templar faced accusations of foulest heresy, chief among them was the worship of a pagan idol known as Baphomet. While history would deem this a power play by King Philip the IV, and not totally incorrectly, the incursion of the supernatural has called many historians to reinvestigate many a dubious myth, particularly when one included what was now known to be an alias of one of Ixian history's most infamous Dark Wizards. While the further investigation and exhumation of what members of the accused would serve to fully exonerate them of any black magic dealings, it was the unearthing of a mysterious coffin in Cyprus that revealed the full scope of the story.
Bound with what were recognized as primitive binding wards, each and every one etched with the many names of the God of Abraham and his servants, the unmarked stone held the remains of a man once known as Eliphas Francois, his personal effects, and the lingering ancient magics he once commanded for over 600 years. Given the nature of the magics sensed within, the bonds of unknown origin, and what few surviving scraps of Middle Ages documentation, a narrative formed of an unremarkable Knight falling to heresy in secret and framing his masters for his crimes, either out of necessity or spite. In no time at all, the historical and occult communities were whipped into a frenzy and Eliphas had become a household name overnight.
A mainstay of Musée de Cluny, the collection of all things Eliphas became a profit machine, generating billions of Francs over the decades in both ticket sales and “generous grants” to the museum to allow it to take many an international tour. Despite concerns of Ixian Hexologists that any movement of the slab would risk damaging the age-stricken, unrepairable wards and potentially release a man they believed was not fully dead due to what little was understood of Baphomeic magics, the dead crusader saw more of the world in death than he did in life. These fears were validated at its latest visit to the American Museum of Natural History, when the growing influence of The Patrons began to change the flow of spiritual energy in the air. The smallest crack in the bindings letting in the faintest scent of magic was enough to awaken the Revenant. On the night he was to be sent back to France, mere days before the second Maelstrom, Eliphas shattered his stone prison in an instant and claimed the souls of the museum staff just as quickly. Thousands of years of human history went up in flames that night as the NYPD’s best magisters were powerless before magics unseen on Earth or Ixia in centuries and with a ferocity the even Eliphas was shocked at. Liberated from a half millennium of confinement and intrigued by the new potencies of his infernal master’s gifts, he makes his way to The Paton to finally claim the dominion he sought long ago.

Gun: Eternal Dragon: Hell magic Sword and Shield with several mechanics.
M1 swings the sword to fire 6 fireballs in a fixed horizontal pattern, consuming 6 ammo per shot; if ammo is lower than 6, the fireballs closest to the crosshair are prioritized. The sword swing is identical to a quick melee and hitting a single enemy with both the swing and every fireball deals an extra 15 spirit damage. The swing CAN be parried.
M2 raises the shield, reducing your movement speed by 70%, but grants +50% bullet resist and a 25% chance to reflect bullets, so long as they hit the shield. These effects are always active on the Shield's hit box and will still take effect while alt fire is not being used, i.e. while it's on your back. While shielding, your M1 changes, after a 1 second delay, the dragon emblem on the shield comes to life and breathes fire in a short-range cone, rapidly consuming ammo. Can jump and dash while shielding, but you do not gain a speed boost and can never slide. Activating the shield shares Parry’s Cooldown. Can't parry while shield is up.
Unique slide attack shoots a vertical pillar of flame that pierces and the swing counts as a heavy melee. Cannot slide in Shield mode.
