Biography[]
Ethan Domblue was an elderly white male and the founder of the Sin-Eater's Travelling Salvation Show. Ethan was discovered by an immortal named Centurious, who tricked Domblue into believing that he could help him save souls by way of his Crystal of Souls. Ethan became the living vessel through which the crystal could acquire souls and he established a church for himself in the Midwestern town of Holly. [1]
Even Jonah Hex would say, "Damn! You ugly!"
The spirits of the members of Domblue's congregation were trapped inside the crystal, wherein they were promised salvation. In truth, Centurious intended on sending their souls to oblivion and using their empty bodies as his personal army. Centurious ordered the members of the church to attack his arch-nemesis - the demon known as Zarathos. When Dumblue learned that Centurious intended on destroying the souls within his crystal, he turned against him, aiding Zarathos in combating Centurious. Domblue paid for his actions with his life, but the effort resulted in the souls being freed, and Centurious' spirit being trapped within the crystal. With Domblue's death, the Sin-Eater's Travelling Salvation Show ceased to exist. [2]
