Somehow neither his name nor his show won over audiences the way he had hoped. He desperately wanted to become rich and famous, and, more importantly, he wanted to become known as the greatest magician since Harry Houdini. Sadly, it never really worked out for him. As he descended into depression, his show became increasingly gimmicky, eventually focusing on a death motif that appeared lame and desperate as opposed to hip and edgy. This prompted him to adopt the stage name of Mortimer Coffin, better known as the Magnificent Mortimer. As success continued to elude him, he became increasingly withdrawn and spent an unhealthy amount of time locked behind closed doors perusing old musty tomes in search of something, anything, that would grant him real power. Spending most of his waking hours poring through dusty books in dimly-lit rooms, his health began to fail. Still he searched, consumed by despair and gloom, but determined to find something to improve his act and make him famous. Then, at last, he found what he was looking for in a black book, ancient and written in a strange mix of utterly alien symbols and glyphs. Neatly tucked into its pages, written in old-fashioned script, he found meticulously scribed notes, as if the previous possessor had attempted to decipher its writings. But the work was incomplete. Mortimer Coffin studied the book night and day, seeking to unlock its secrets before his failing body finally gave out. It was a spell book of some sort, that much was apparent. It spoke of dark dimensions and the preternatural entities inhabiting them. It also hinted at the power wielded by those able to tap into these dimensions. Finally, the real power that he had long desired was within his reach. He devoted himself to its study, forgoing food and sleep; the end was now in sight. However, he didn’t realize just how true that was until it was too late. Wracked by terrible fits of coughing and nearly crippled due to his infirmity, he drove himself beyond the point of exhaustion. He was so close, and he felt the grim shadow of death overtaking him. It was a race to the very end... a race he both won and lost. He did indeed achieve his goal of unlocking the dark magicks of the black book. And as his life ebbed away, he realized the dread secret of the black book—only the dead could wield the dark powers it held. So Mortimer Coffin died, but in dying he gained access to the real power that he hungered for. He is not merely dead—he is undead, effectively immortal, and he has the means to achieve the fame, fortune, and power he’s always wanted, but under a new name—the nefarious necromancer, Abracadaver! Dracula, Lord of Vampires, Vlad Dracul, Mr. Helsinger, Alucard, Vampire, Most Infamous Monster, Suave and Sophisticated Gentleman With Old World Manners and Style, Virtual Unliving God, Enemy of All That Live, Cloud of Mist, Bat, Wolf, Mysterious Gentleman, Vampire Lord, Blood-Craving Beast, Lord, Master: Gravely wounded in battle, Dracul was found by a gypsy who offered him an opportunity to survive, if he chose to take it. He did and the gypsy, herself a vampire, transformed Dracul into one of her kind. Undead: ?Lesser Undead: ?Ghostly Mongol Warrior: ?Vampire, Traditional Vampire: ?Lesser Vampire: ?Rosa DiAngelo, Vampire: Emerald City has become a dangerous place by night, at least for certain volunteers of a charitable religious group who have become victims of a mysterious killer or killers. The police ask the heroes for help in handling the case when the latest crime scene includes an overturned and dented dumpster (punched by someone with superhuman strength) and the body of Gia Hernandez, drained of most of her blood from a neck wound. She is the third such victim, after David Diamont and Rosa DiAngelo, all of them volunteers at the Saint Sebastian homeless shelter. Investigating the prior victims reveals Diamont was cremated but DiAngelo was buried in a local cemetery, and her grave was later violated and her body is missing. That is because Rosa DiAngelo has become a vampire and committed the later two killings. Gia Hernandez, Vampire: Emerald City has become a dangerous place by night, at least for certain volunteers of a charitable religious group who have become victims of a mysterious killer or killers. The police ask the heroes for help in handling the case when the latest crime scene includes an overturned and dented dumpster (punched by someone with superhuman strength) and the body of Gia Hernandez, drained of most of her blood from a neck wound.

Zombie: When he [Abracadaver] needs a helping hand, he usually just animates a small army of zombies to do his bidding—not only are they tireless workers, but they follow orders without question and never complain about anything! Magic-Wielding Zombie: The heroes are contacted by the bereaved wife of a deceased occultist because someone has stolen her husband’s body from the graveyard where he was recently laid to rest. Upon investigating, the heroes discover that someone has been robbing cemeteries across the city, specifically targeting graves containing the bodies of ex-occultists, academics, and stage magicians. Soon after, the heroes must stop a crime spree perpetrated by none other than the missing dead men and women who are now magic-wielding zombies controlled by their new master, Abracadaver!</blockquote>
