However he is attacked by demons but he kills one of them and Gargoyles save him and take him to a Cathedral where the Gargoyles Order gathers. The Queen of the Gargoyles Leonore keeps Dr. Frankenstein's journal together with the treasures of the Order and gives the name of Adam to the creature. Then she explains to Adam that there is an ancient war between the Gargoyles that are angels and demons under the command of the Prince Naberius. She also invites Adam to join the Gargoyles in the war against demons, but Adam prefers to isolate in a remote place. Two hundred years later, Adam returns and finds a modern society. Soon he learns that Naberius has the intention of creating an army of soulless corpses to be possessed by demons. The scientist Terra is researching a process to create life and Naberius is seeking Dr Frankenstein's journal to help Terra and raise his army.

know of a scientist

by the name of Victor Frankenstein?

Frankenstein is a myth.

A horror story made

up to scare children.

All scientists are

skeptics, Dr. Wade.

However, I would've suspected

that a scientist in

your particular field

would have to wonder

if such stories

just might have some basis in fact.

Well, electricity couldn't

be harnessed in the 1790s

let alone channeled into a...

A human subject.

TERRA:
And where did he go?

Why did he disappear?

If he really animated

a human corpse,

why not share his technology

with the rest of the world

to save lives, cure paralysis?

Perhaps he wasn't as magnanimous

as you are, Doctor.

Every scientist keeps a record.

Even when their experiments

end in failure.

Look, there ought to be at least

a record of his work somewhere.

Drawings or a set

of notes. Something.

Just because something

is yet to be found,

does not mean it doesn't exist.

But if Frankenstein was real,

if he really did animate a human,

would it help you to study it?

Well, yes, absolutely.

But, Mr. Wessex,

it would have to be over

200 years old by now.

There would be nothing left

but a few brittle bones.

It's the first and only one

of its kind, Dr. Wade.

Who's to say how long such

a subject might live?

(SIGHS)

Ours is a war that must

be fought in the shadows.

It is not an open battlefield

for you to do as you please.

I'm descending demons, aren't I?

Do not pretend that you are

doing this for us or mankind!

You care only about yourself, Adam.

Do you know a human was

killed in that alley tonight?

I didn't kill him.

Your actions led

directly to his death.

I'll be more careful next time.

There will not be a next time.

You will remain here until the

Queen decides what to do with you.

You cannot keep me here, Leonore.

I can hardly risk unleashing you

on the streets of this city.

My life is my own. You

will not take it from me.

Your life was not granted

to you by the grace of God!

It was fabricated in a laboratory!

And until you learn to use it

wisely, I will do what I must!

Then you are no

better than Naberius!

When I met you,

my first thought was

to have you destroyed.

But then I looked into your eyes,

and do you know what I saw there?

Not a soul, but the

potential for one.

Now, all I see is darkness.

I know of no other way.

I am not human,

nor a gargoyle,

nor a demon.

I am like none other.

Ophir.

(DOOR CLOSES)

How do you plan to remove the

creature from the cathedral?

The gargoyles will protect

it like one of their own.

Yes, I shall be counting on that.

Our casualties will be

high, but necessary.

Zuriel, none of my legions

ever had so worthy a
