Angela works for none other than Dr. Sibellius, a spectacle of intelligence in the field of soul and somatic mechanics. His famed Sibellius Labs have made breakthroughs in the technology of separating the human soul from the body, and uses Angela as their test subject to undergo secretive operations. Only problem is, when she inhabits the bodies of others, their souls get pushed out into the Void until the job is done, and in the Void a most evil thing envelops and feeds upon the souls in dark and lowly existence: Death itself. Her origin has always remained an enigma for the readers of Salvador Sanz’s most beloved creation, and now the acclaimed writer and artist gives us adoring fans a definitive history of our protagonist. All the mysteries of her character will now be laid out for the first time!
