After failing to stop the Massacre of Toxcatl, Spanish conquistador Diego De Rojas, uncovers a buried prison beneath Chichén Itzá and unknowingly unleashes Lucifer.
In a desperate attempt to stop the Devil’s escape, Diego seals the prison shut with his own flesh, bonding his soul with an ancient curse.
Condemned to walk the Earth through endless reincarnation, Diego is reborn throughout history to hunt the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Each Horseman hides behind the face of power, manipulating War, Conquest, Famine, and Death from the shadows of history.
As Diego battles through centuries of violence and madness, he slowly discovers that the mark on his chest is changing with every kill, pulling him closer to a horrifying truth tied to his bloodline, his past sins, and the fate of the world.
