world where supernatural forces, both good and evil, have existed throughout human history, with any becoming a threat to humanity being combatted by people who specialize in fighting such powers. The story is inspired by the conspiracy theory from the 1950s and 60s surrounding a hidden treasure discovered by the 19th-century parish priest Bérenger Saunière and hidden in the region around the village of Rennes-le-Château in southern France. As such, the plot not only incorporates this with a fictional theory surrounding such a treasure, but also incorporates the mythology of the Holy Grail and vampires, the myths surrounding the Knights Templar, and the religious stories of Jesus Christ before and during his crucifixion.

When Gabriel recovers, he pursues after the kidnappers to a train, but loses them when it stops outside the town of Couiza.
