Backstory

back story
the mask 

The year is 1853 London England

A dark force has appeared over London, strange things were happening. a black mist was decending people where being possessed.  No one knows where  the source of this terror. The order of knights, a secret agent society that deal's with evil and demonic entity's in the city are called. Usually they deal in vampires and ghouls. The knights are sent to investigate the sight of the blackness.

John, a trainee knight in practise, was eating a sandwich when the call for all knights to move out to athe dark zone came. He armed himself and prepared for his first and  possibly last mission. The first wave of knights failed to return. John even as a trainee must now prepare to go.

They pulled up outside the edge of the dark zone near whitechapel London. John knew that things felt wrong as soon as he arrived . He took out his rifle was the first time on an active mission, in his head  he heard the voice. As he moved stealthy into a Victorian house, boom! the floor gave way "Ahhhhh" said John as he fell all the way through the floor  to the basement. As he came round he heard the voice again. " Hello" he said "whose there?" As he got up he noticed a glow in the  next room. As he moved over to the door the voice was getting louder and louder, he opened the door there was a ornate Renaissance mask  sitting on a plinth in the middle of the room. One half white with a decorative patten on it, The other half black with a white eye. The mask was very old, so old it had cracks on the surface.

He tentatively  walked over to the plinth  and picked up the mask. A note was pined to it,
it said "HELLO JOHN".

What John didn't yet know was that the mask had powers. Looking out of one eye allowed you to see  see into the past and the other  to the future,  it can give the person wearing it immortality and powers of the void. However, you have is to give up part of your soul and humanity to weald such a power.
