As a child he accidentally pushed his brother Jeremiah off the roof to his death during a game. Isaac Christians was born in Christiansboro, Virginia, a town founded by his ancestors. The gargoyle sought to join their number as an equal, but was treated as a slave, and when it rebelled, they punished it. It spent the next few centuries stalking the innocent, eventually assembling human worshippers, and in modern times, came to the attention of the demonic Six-Fingered Hand. One of them was eventually ensorcelled as a mage’s familiar, from whom it learned much of the black arts after seventy years of servitude, it slew its master. Derwyddon brought the gargoyles on it to life, sending them out to wreak vengeance, but witnessing the carnage they wrought, he came to his senses, withdrawing the spell, returning most of them to stone.
Grieving and enraged, he came upon a church built on a site of old pagan power, rich in absorbed mystical energy. Before the Roman’s occupied Briton and Gaul, the Druid Derwyddon was punished by his gods for a lapse of faith, swept overboard to sleep in the depths, until he finally washed ashore to discover that in his absence his religion had been replaced by Christianity.
