What if you found out that you weren't who you thought you were, and that your true existence was to bring about the end of mankind.This is the premise for “Dark Nature” which is an apocalyptic werewolf taleabout a scientist, named Titus Pannell, who discovers the dark truth about hisdestiny.

The epic begins when a mysterious scientist named Titus Pannell is captured and imprisoned in a top secret government facility, becausehe is found out to be a werewolf. The scientists there discover that Titus isharboring a new werewolf virus in his blood, which acts the opposite from theold. Instead of turning humans into wolves it transforms wolves into men, suchas the mysterious case with Titus. By the time the government realizes thisthere is a security breach. Both the blood samples and Titus are gone. The secretagency then sends out soldiers, known as “Hunters”, along with a transforming robotictank, called “The Dog Catcher”, to retrieve Titus. The team is led by aChristian woman named Hope Nevaeh. The agency, which is not Christian, uses thecross as a powerful weapon against werewolves. They think that the cross holdspsychological powers not real spiritual ones.

As Titus tries to elude the government he is constantly haunted by the memories of his dead fiancée, who he murdered afterhis first transformation. Titus tries to find a cure for his disease, but hefails at every turn. Titus is eventually found by the government and he isalmost captured until a mysterious group known as Fenrir saves him. It turnsout that they were the ones who orchestrated Titus’ escape, as well as stealhis blood samples. Their captain is a woman named Helen Kaufmann, who lookssimilar to Titus’ dead fiancée. It is her boss, who is currently stationed inthe Middle East, who has the answers to Titus’ werewolf origins. As both Titusand the organization try to evade the soldiers a civilian captures Titus’transformation on video tape. The footage is aired on national news stations,and the government tries to cover up the existence of werewolves by calling ita hoax.

Once Titus is able to make it overseas he meets with Fenrir’s leader, who reveals that the organization was originally a Nazi werewolf groupthat began in W.W.2. After the war the allied nations banded together to wipeout the werewolf threat from the face of the planet. The leader goes on to tellthat Titus’ origins involved an inhuman experiment conducted in Africa, andthat his blood is the catalyst to a new developing virus that will once againtransform humans into wolves. The goal for the virus is to bring about a biologicalwar, and cause a global pandemic. Titus tries to stop the Nazis but fails, and Israelbecomes ground zero for the virus.

The 2^nd half of the epic picks up 7 years into the future, during “The Great Pandemic”, when the age of man is eclipsedby the dawning of the werewolf era. 2/4 of the world is infected, 1/4 is dead,and the last remnants are barely holding on. The governments of the world issuemartial law. Fear and paranoia sweep across the planet, as people turn on eachother and kill one another on suspicion of being werewolves in disguise. Atthis time, the role of the main character is switched to Hope Neveah, who isthe leader of a Christian resistance. They believe that this end was foretoldin the Bible, and that the “Mark of the Beast” is the werewolf virus. Hope’smission is 2 fold. 1^st she is searching Titus to obtain a pure sampleof his blood, so that a scientist she is working with can find a cure. 2^ndHope wants revenge on Titus, because she blames him for the pandemic and thedeath of loved ones.
