Duke started out as a Satanist with a Satanic cult of followers. The original picbase was Thomas Ian Griffith as 'Velek' from John Carpenters' Vampires film.





Turned out, Soldier was my first opponent and he thoroughly whooped my ass. He was much better at the Satanic stuff than I was, not to mention that their were other Satanists in the fed at the time, and I wanted to do something different.

It just so happened that around that time I was reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown and in it, it mentions how the Illuminati had been branded as Satanists by the Catholic Church. So I used that idea to spin Duke's story around. Saying that being a Satanist was a common misconception. They were Illuminati. With that change, came a new pic base. The Ministry of Darkness Undertaker became Sebastian Duke.

While the Illuminati us still the big picture in Duke's story, I used some of the things that have happened to Duke in his personal life to make him darker and even more evil than he ever was. (Bringing Caitlyn back, only for her to file for divorce, Thaddeus being murdered, so on) Which is why he started killing kids/families.

No matter how hard I try, Sebastian Duke still remains my first love.
