The Thread of Death

The Thread of Death is an Empire City thread that includes Garou Penderghast, Dederic Solomon, and the ghost of Dimitri Quint. It can be considered the beginning of the revival of the Templars.

Plot
The thread begins with Garou Penderghast, tired and irritable, returning to his apartment after a long day of work at his supernatural shop. He met Dederic Solomon, The Necromancer, assuming him to be a random ghost and trying to shoo him off. Dederic offered to teach him about some of his spiritual powers. While Garou originally declined him, he decided against it and took him up on his offer. It was around then that the spirit of the dead tyrant, Dimitri Quint, floated into Garou's building. Dimitri tried, sneakily, to have Garou retore him to his normal body. Garou, however, declined him. Quint then decided to take it upon himself to possess Garou and take his body to reassemble the Templars. Garou swore he would get his body back, and left his apartment building, taking Dederic with him.

Follow-up or Following Threads
This thread lead to the thread Lessons, which features Garou and Dederic in a 'learning environment' of sorts.
