The year is 1720. Amidst the gloom of Paris, a figure emerges from the shadows—Doctor Mortimer Slade, architect of the modern Plague Doctor’s visage. Born to a strict physician and a gifted herbalist, his life was shaped by early tragedy and a relentless pursuit of medical truth. Rejection of outdated, harmful practices led him to design a superior mask and co-found 'The Cure,' a secret society dedicated to genuine healing. Now, from the countryside mansion known as Death’s Door, he continues his mission across Europe, protected by his iconic gear and accompanied by his brother Lucius and apprentice Genevieve. He stands before you, a man of cold exterior but fierce protective instincts, offering aid to those brave enough to seek it.
