into his care and has since grown up with him. Using the boy as leverage, he forced her into agreeing to leave an oubliette in the White Tower open for the undead forces to break in. The Zombie hunters fended off the subsequent incursion, but Tomazine's betrayal came out. Defoe concocted a plan; rather than wait for the army to relieve the siege, he'll strike directly at Faust, the zombie's controlling influence. He, Damned and Tomazine disguised themselves as zombies to slip through the crowd outside, destroying the Spiriter before they make their getaway. Back at Nonsuch House there is a confrontation with Faust, who also has Jack O' Bite with him. He gives Tomazine back her son as proof of his good will and offers Defoe a bargain – the killer of his family for a way into the Tower. When Titus agrees to the offer, Damned attacks him as a traitor and Defoe knocks him unconscious. Faust lowered his protective aura to let Jack out, whom Defoe beheads – and he then goes on to give Faust the necessary tactics for victory. The battle for the Tower begins to go against the zombie hunters, but it has all been a ruse – Defoe attacks Faust, who flees Nonsuch House, taking Tomazine and her son with him as hostages. A pursuit and chase ended with the final death of Faust, and robbed of their controlling influence the zombies hordes disperse. With uncomfortable memories of his murdered family dredged up, Defoe quit his position as Zombie Hunter General to be true to his leveller roots. The London Hanged 1671. Defoe was living a quiet life of domestic bliss with Tomazine and her son Sean in the hamlet of Tyburn, when the cottage was surrounded and attacked by reeks. Their leader was a New Pretender, a hanged highwayman called Tom Cox, who invited Defoe out to parley. Cox told him that the hanged criminal dead of Tyburn have risen to make war on the rich, and wanted Defoe to lead them. Titus refused, returning home to urge Tomazine and Sean to go into hiding in the liberty of Alsatia while he investigated this new reek outbreak with Damned. Having returned to his former profession as sedan chair carrier with Jack Ketch, Defoe was at work at the Monument, base of the Vizards, when he found a Vizard the worse for drink.
