Terceron City is home to many murderers and manipulators it''s overpopulated, over-industrialized, and totally corrupt. It''s also home to many heroes, including the super-clean superteam Allegiance. But where Allegiance isn''t getting the job done, Terceron''s latest resident, The Heretic, has no such obstructions. A rogue from an ancient brotherhood of religious assassins, The Heretic has renounced both his murderous past and Allegiance''s code of honor. Terceron City''s going to get a whole lot better, or he''s going to see that it dies trying.
