An attempt by Robert Gorge to gain a hold over Lorelei.
Background[]
The corruptor demon Robert Gorge had become aware of Lorelei’s temporary weakness and freedom from Belial during the Pacific Place events.[1] He investigated the events and uncovered her new connection to Alex. He purchased Ahmed Kovac’s pool hall and waited until Lorelei had left. He then approached Alex and his friends Drew, Jason, and Wade in private.[2]
Events[]
Gorge asked Alex about purchasing Lorelei, but was refused. When Gorge started to threaten Alex, Alex attacked Gorge, helped by his friends. However, Gorge’s demon strength and the resilience of his mortal skin made him into more than a match for the Crew.
Alex however remembered the symbolic nature of a demon’s tail, wings, and horns from the Sacred Heart cemetery fire, and managed to cut away Gorge’s tail, weakening him. This allowed the Crew to subdue Gorge and cripple him further. In the end they brought him to a nearby Episcopal church, where Caleb destroyed him.[2]
Results[]
- Destruction of Gorge.
- Drew, Jason, and Wade were introduced to the Shadows.
- Ownership of the pool hall passed to Alex, Drew, Jason, and Wade, through Lorelei’s intervention.
