Jake Alland

Description
Jake Alland, also known as Shepard Alland, hails from the universe of The Fallen. He was born post-Armageddon, around the time of the Battle of New Jerusalem, and raised on the principles of The Requiem. Jake carries an aura of anonymity about him that none close to him have been able to explain or understand. After the loss of his brother Cory at the hands of the loathsome body leeches, Jake is consumed by vengeance and nearly loses his life in an attempt to retrieve his brother's body. Sister Cantor, leader of The Requiems, rescues Jake with the help of Mot, and takes him under her wing, teaching him all she knows. Secretly, Jake desires to kill Lucifer and to make him suffer, so as to avenge his brother. This urge leads Jake to separate from The Requiems, creating his own order and taking with him all the Requiems born post-Armageddon, called the Black Monks. After the rise of his order, he goes on a quest for the Robes of Pope Finis, and upon finding them is granted immunity to the attacks of lesser demons. In order to lure Lucifer out, Jake and the Black Monks endeavor to slay all of Lucifer's sons. After the grisly murders of Lucifer's eldest twin sons, Mendacium and Iniquitas, Jake uses their skulls to forge a set of twin flails which he anoints with sacred power and dubs Mendiquitas.
