Description[]
Fate brought three individuals together from different walks of life to form a group committed towards combating the supernatural. Specifically, they took up the burden of hunting down the lost pages of the legendary Book of Sins known as the Darkhold so as to prevent nefarious forces from using them for their own ends. Italian-American Victoria Montesi, whose family line was tied to the world of sorcery and the supernatural came to the United States where she met with Louise Hastings - a college professor and occult scholar who had labored all her life to fight the forces of evil. Joining the two women was Interpol agent Sam Buchanan. They were also aided by the 6th century warlock Modred the Mystic. The events that drew these individuals to form the Darkhold Redeemers involved the resurrection of an ancient sorceress, Lilith, Mother of Demons, who sought to bring about the strength and glory of her immortal demonic children, the Lilin. The Darkhold Redeemers teamed up with several other supernatural combatants to form a larger force dubbed The Nine.
