After usurping the Devil himself, Apollo takes the throne as Satan, Lucifer, and ruler of the underworld. Unlike Calvera’s tyrannical governor, Apollo had a more benevolent plan for the souls abandoned by the self-proclaimed “true god.” He would mend the unraveled souls with Strings of Fate gathered from Earth’s sacred animals, and give shelter to the lost and weary. However, any shades who proclaimed sole faith to Calvera would risk incurring his wrath. Apollo just might find those blasphemous eyes to be a most… delicious meal.
