Brief History: Ralf Daniel Bethlehem
seemed odd from the very beginning. As
an infant, he would hardly smile. He
wouldn’t play with his toys, or with other children. He would always keep to himself. As he grew older, he grew ever more isolated,
hardly talking with a soul. His parents
would often speculate why. Perhaps
because he was a middle child, they didn’t pay enough attention to him. They didn’t have the money to pay for a
psychiatrist for Ralf, so they simply hoped that it was a phase he would grow
out of.
What Ralf did do was work on his
schoolwork. He was extremely bright and
worked hard to get the best possible grades.
He had a brain for science and devoted himself to the study in the hopes
to be a world renowned scientist. It was
his goal.
But then Ralf’s father fell ill with
pancreatic cancer. The family was nearly
broke and couldn’t afford to pay for chemotherapy or any treatment for
him. All they could do for him was wait. Wait for him
to pass on and make him comfortable. The
14-year-old Ralf wasn’t prepared to accept that. He worked frantically, in a misguided manner,
to find a cure for his father, using his rather limited knowledge of biology
and chemistry. After weeks of working in
his room, he had gotten nowhere. His
thoughts turned from a cure to simply a way to end his father’s suffering. He thought about inventing a virus to quickly
end his father’s life, but after another few weeks of futility, he gave that
idea up as well. He couldn’t bear to
watch his father waste away, so he took a large knife from the kitchen and
stabbed his father in the heart. It was
over quickly, his father not having the strength to scream. The sight of the blood awakened something in
Ralf. He felt a rush… something
pleasuring. As he relished the feeling,
his younger sister Julie came upon the gruesome scene and cried out. Ralf snapped out of his euphoric state and
took the knife to his sister, slicing her throat open. Their older brother Mark tried to talk Ralf
into dropping the knife, but after a brief struggle, Ralf managed to stab Mark
in the stomach. Taking his opportunity,
Ralf gutted his older brother and cut out all of his internal organs, along
with those of his sister. When his mother
arrived home, she too, was greeted with his blade. Ralf never felt so alive. He tasted their blood; nothing had ever
tasted so good to him. He left his home
and didn’t look back, covered in their blood.
Ralf disappeared into the streets of
With the demon war in motion, Ralf
