The drums of war echo throughout the land. Unlikely allies unite once more for the sake of their own interpretations of God. Another Santificación has been called.

An android programmed for gladiatorial combat and modeled after the very demigods of Greek mythology themselves, Veles is a "legend writ large." He is a champion of the Blood Games: a brutal revival of Rome's most violent and exhilarating spectator sport. However, with the advanced biorobotic technology of the distant future, death no longer offers amnesty to the defeated. Forced into a hellish cycle of slaughter, death, and rebirth, the synthetic gladiators (glads) are pushed until their artificial minds are shattered beyond repair. All the while a bloodthirsty society watches on in morbid ecstasy.
