The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Comfortably Numb
"This too shall pass."
Isaac will do his best to avoid stress, but now when he does face the pain no longer eats at his weak mortal flesh, the flesh has gone numb.
After his last job, he snagged some pages and got some glimpses of notes and documents to add to his research. With this knowledge, he crafted a serum of sorts, made from the ash, that he injected into himself with a needle he stole from work. Whatever it was made his body feel, nothing, or well almost nothing, it was a familiar feeling.
While having this power, some of his veins and arteries appear much darker than normal.
