Description:
Ivan Isaacs was once a priest. Devoted to his
faith he would have given up anything for it. Then the establishment
he believed in turned on him, sending him headlong into Hell. 
Now,
he's back. With the priesthood now corrupt with demons, the undead and
black prayers, he has returned with the help of the demon Belial, a
voice in the darkness who offered Ivan a chance at vengeance, in exchange
for his soul. [Ivan Isaacs is a dead priest who sold his soul to the
devil Belial for a second chance at life, so that he could have revenge
on the demonic Temozarela, who murdered his wife.]
With
his six-shooter, a bouie knife at his side and the white collar of his
former life adorning his neck he is a lost pale rider in a barren wild
west where past and future collide.

Ivan Isaacs
Ivan Isaacs was a young priest with a passion for ancient cultures when
he was recruited to study the Domas Porada. Little did he know that
this mission would be his last -- at least his last in life. After helping
revive an ancient battle for Heaven and Earth, Ivan and his beloved
Gena are slain. In order to get revenge and atone for endangering the
world, Ivan makes a pact with the devil Belial: his soul in exchange
for a second chance at life ... and superhuman strength. Now Ivan wanders
the old west, hunting down Temozarela's disciples and keeping a journal
of his tragic tale.
Coburn
A lawman investigating the mysterious events happening around the Old
West. He and her companions are the only mortals close to uncovering
Temozarela's plot. After Lizzie is found to be the only survivor of
the St. Baldlas massacre, Coburn takes her into custody to see what
information she might have about the mysterious Ivan Isaacs.
