However, his deformities, sickness and desire to be cured as well as his own stature has made Laird impatient and aggressive over the years.
Byron never understood the nature of the sickness that ravaged him. He is loyal to Knoth and his faith as Laird recites his words constantly despite being cast out by Sullivan, but his own beliefs seem to deviate from Knoth's own, as he believes a messiah will come to the Scalled which they shall crucify, bury and revive then eat his flesh so he can be cured and welcomed back to Temple Gate in open arms. Laird and Nick begin to pull him back up, but two of the Scalled, fed up with Laird's constant abuse, push the two out of the open hatch, sending the entire party plummeting into the docks, killing, both, Laird and Nick.Ĭast out from "paradise" because of his physical sickness, Laird is considerably more devout, delusional and insane in his beliefs than the rest of the Scalled and the Testament of the New Ezekiel as he is determined to be sheltered from the coming Armageddon of the Antichrist. Blake slides down a cliff and is caught up in a gate of barbed wire, saved by Laird and Nick and buried alive to complete his "resurrection." Blake again escapes and encounters the duo one last time in his getaway from the forest, where he tries to slide down a rope onto the docks below from the open floor hatch of a shed. He then notices and steals Blake's Camcorder, believing it to be Blake's form of gospel, declaring that he will use it to "study his lessons" and apologizes to God for his doubt.īlake painfully detaches himself from the cross and is again hunted throughout the woods by Laird, Nick, and the Scalled, narrowly dodging Laird's flaming arrow fire. While Laird has Nick drag Blake over to a cross, he asks where Blake's gospel is in order to learn from his "guidance." Laird then has Blake painfully nailed to a cross and crucified, hoping he will reenact the resurrection of Jesus Christ so the Scalled can feast on his flesh and drink his blood and finally be relieved of their deformities and welcomed back into Temple Gate.
Exploring the forest further, Blake is attacked by Laird and his minions, until Laird's twisted imagination recognizes Blake as the prophet sent by God to die for their sins. He first sees Laird and Nick in a haze after falling off a bridge, shooting down one of his own in a fit of rage. In Blake Langermann's horrific journey to save his wife from the Testament of the New Ezekiel, he ends up in the forest surrounding the Temple Gate - the Scalled's residence.
