Forever Evil

Marc Denning is the sole survivor of the massacre and becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth. He is practical, persistent, and driven by a need to explain the killings, which leads him to connect occult clues with real-world events. By the end, he is revealed to have been transformed into a new kind of threat.

Ben is a mysterious psychic who aids the investigation and is closely tied to occult lore through a box of ancient texts. He shares similarities with Brother Magnus, hinting at hidden layers behind the central mystery. His knowledge becomes a key piece in deciphering Yog-Kothag’s myth.

Reggie is a survivor who teams with Denning, showing courage and resilience. She helps expose clues and confronts the danger head-on, eventually revealing her feelings for Denning. Her presence aligns with the investigation’s emotional stakes as the body count rises.

Lieutenant Leo Ball leads the police investigation and provides initial direction for solving the murders. His disappearance and death heighten the stakes and push Denning to push further into the mystery. His role underscores the dangers that accompany the pursuit of truth.

Nash appears as an elderly man with extraordinary resilience and a long, hidden history. He embodies the zombie-like force behind the killings, and his birth certificate reveals a life spanning over a century. The reveal reframes the threat as the endurance of a single malevolent will rather than a secret cult.

Holly is pregnant and among the first victims, her death catalyzing the investigation and deepening the sense of loss. Her fate underscores the personal costs of the massacre and motivates the remaining characters to seek the truth.
