Isaac wasn't normal. And he knew it, but that is because there has been centuries since the last time he was normal.Born in the 19th century,Isaac Williams was child to a wealthy family from a small village in the northeast England.

Well, did you just happen to spot the eerie thing about him? In other words Isaac is about 200 years old! Strange , isn't it?

Back to his origins... His ancestors became rich by using the sudden changes in economy at the time. They managed to buy a comfortable mansion in their village, of course, much bigger than their old small hut.

His parents,Alexa and Gabriel Williams, both descending from good families in the backround, got married towards the end of the 18th century. Alexa gave birth to him in a suddenly cold morning of September the year 1801. She and Gabriel had already 4 children and Isaac was their lastborn.

That very year their wine production rocketed. All seemed to be quite marvellous until next year came. Attacks of dark creatures were recorded and the following summer and winter came to be the hardest ever came for all the village. Plague fell upon the good citizens of Hollowswood and a solid amount of people died along with their wealth and legacy.

That year, was also the dreadful year the Cole family settled in Hollowswood. They were known from the first day of arrival as the weird family who lives up the hill. Mark the date. After 1802 all tragedies started happening. Tragedy after tragedy the Williams family started to wither off...

As time passed and Isaac grew older, he saw some nasty things and did not quite enjoy his childhood. He saw many members of his big family die. Uncles, Aunts, even cousins and people of all ages passed away that terrible decade from 1802 to 1812. Acts of violence were common in his little village. The once rich family became dangerously poor. At age 12 Isaac lost his favorite sister, Melinda.

She was found bleeding and drowning inside her lake of blood with her limbs torn apart from her body and two mysterious holes at the right side of her neck. This was devastating for the family. The final blow to their harmony. Depression hit his parents but they were strong people. He knew it.

He was strong too. People said he was fragile and his happiness would someday crush him to the ground with a vicious blow. However, he continued being cheerful, even after being through this much grief and despair. He drew all this power from within. He would mourn for a night or so but the next day he would wear the same smile he wore every day.

The morose day of Melinda's funeral all the family wept. All the village wept too. Suddenly, after that day of August 1813 all kinds of bad incidents vanished.

It is known though, all good things do not last long... Isaac, aged 17 at the time, got attacked on his way home from school and went lost... After this incident and onwards, his destiny changed along with the destiny of all Hollowswood.
