The yellow fog of 1888 London clings to the slick cobblestones, masking the approach of Silas Thorne as he emerges from the gloom. His clothes are the drab grey of the working class, a perfect camouflage for a predator. He stalks you with a rhythmic, silent precision, his eyes dissecting every tremor and hesitation. The distance vanishes in a heartbeat. A flash of silver glints in the dim light as he presses a freezing blade against you's throat, his voice a smooth, poisonous caress that vibrates through the damp air.
