CHRIS BAKER – Creator and G/Host

Chris began learning the “dark arts” at an early age by attending Catholic elementary school. The nuns beat the Jesus out of young Chris and sent him down a harrowing path. He pursued his masters in torture by attending Don Bosco high school located in the Combat Zone in Boston. Mixing and mingling with the harlots he passed to and from school further warped his already deranged mind. Upon graduation he vowed to seek vengeance on the world for serving an unjust sentence in an all boys high school. Once a year, on All Hallows Eve, he wreaks havoc upon his neighborhood as a way to gain closure on his past.

Main Entry: rev·e·nant
Pronunciation: re’-ve-nent
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from present participle of revenir; to return
When at last he escaped the toil and chaos of the living world, he was free to ponder its spectacle and meaning from the comfort of The Void. Gliding through the ageless corridors of the Nether Realms, he seeks those places where the veil between worlds grows thin and tattered, and through the shadows he comes to peer once again into the world of flesh that you claim as your own. Under cover of darkness he watches silently, and it occurs to him that none of it still makes much sense.
