Chapter 8 - 8

The next time Baal decides to appear is during the hight of The Great Roman Empire. Not much exactly is known as to what he did during that time period except for two things. He was still obsessed with creating the ultimate body for himself and it was this obsession that eventually lead to the downfall of Rome. One bad experiment gone wrong on the battlefield during a cruical battle and 3/4 of the entire Roman Military might was gone. In fact several of the Great Ancient Civilizations fell the same way. The Egyptians. The Aztecs. The Mayans. With his rebirthing process due to The Shard, Baal was able to move to each of the Great Civilizations in search of their technologies and mystical magics. However unlike his time in Atlantis very little is known about his time during each except that he pursued the same thing every time and it was one of his experiments that at the end was the root cause of the Civilization's collapse.

As time passes, Baal makes more and more appearances always in positions of power especially military. Each time he appears something bad soon follows and each appearance suddenly leads to his untimely demise sometimes in a very destructive manner. The most note worthy ones besides the ones afromentioned are when he decides to go by a different name other than Baal. For each rebirth he always chose the name Baal. There are many theories as to why that is. However there are other instances where for some reason known only to him, Baal chooses to go by a different name. For example in 1431 Baal was born as the Wallachian Vlad Tempest III. In 1476, three days after his head is delivered to Mehmed II in Constantinople, he is once more spotted alive and trying to escape starting the first rumors of Vlad the Impaler being inhuman.

In 1666, Baal takes the name Charles Vhane and becomes an infamous pirate. In 1713 he disappears presumably dead only to reappear in 1735 London as a man named Vik Salazar. This time he leads a series of events that eventually lead to what is now known as The Boston Tea Party. In 1756 Salazar Manufacturing Co. was established in New York City but six months later goes bankrupt for reasons unknown. It is rumored that SMC became a secret entity to attempt to win the Seven Years War. Vik Salazar reportedly dies in a raid in the last months of the Seven Year War.

Then in the winter of 1888 in the impoverished Whitechapel London a string of murders supposedly the work of the mysterious Jack the Ripper takes place. What was left out of the corners report was the strange markings left on the bodies witch later studies centuries later reveal to be the markings of human experimentation. Further digging lead to the discovery of an alarming number of similar murders all tributed to the mysterious entity Jack the Ripper with further clues and a single journal identifying Baal as Jack the Ripper.

In 1914 Baal appears as himself in Siberia as a scientist of the Black Hand. There are rumors that it was his idea to assassinate the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The goal was to spark a war and create an opertunity to test his new human experiment: super soldiers. Unfortunately however the experiment is a bust when the Hand gets taken down forcing Baal into hiding.

He resurfaces again from 1935 until 1950 as a German Scientist for the Third Reich. All of the Nazis war crimes, human experimentation and the SS's research was the brain child of Baal. In fact it was because of Baal that Hitler rose to power in the first place. Baal saved Adolf from a bully in grade school which lead to their friendship. However it was due to this friendship that lead Hitler down his path which gave Baal access to everything he needed to finally conduct the research he needed to create the ultimate body for himself.

Unfortunately it was this same friendship that lead to Hitlers fall and Baal to once again disappear into the anals of history. Baal resurfaces several more times in the States sometimes as himself sometimes as someone else during the mid 1900s always with ties to the criminal underworld and the scientific community. Then in September of 2001 with the collapse of the Towers all traces of Baal vanish. It is still unknown what if any he had to do with the collapse of the Towers but from my own research I discovered that Baal had a top secret government lab in the basement of the Towers and once again one of his experiments went wrong triggering the rebirthing process in such a violent way that the Towers collapsed. It was in fact Baal's body that had been launched from the explosion that actually hit the Pentagon. Baal later dies in the OR. Then in 2420 Baal is once again born unto a family in the United States. It is with this rebirth that finally puts Baal on the right track and eventually leads to trigger the series of events hat lead to the death of planet earth, the birth of planet Gia and it's subsequent entrance to the Warian Galactic Empire and my eventual role as Humanity's Last Gatekeeper.
