The Sanglyph

The Sanglyph

The Sanglyph, also known as The Blood Sign, is an artefact of ancient power created by the Black Alchemist, Pieter Van Eckhardt. It was made from five metallic parts depicting symbols. The Sanglyph was split into its five pieces and hidden inside five paintings that depicted evil images by Eckhardt. He did this to keep it safe since he needed the Sanglyph to revive the Nephilim race.

When Eckhardt was originally defeated by the Lux Veritatis, Brother Obscura confiscated the paintings and hid them thus dispersing the Sanglyph.

Once Eckhardt regained all the Obscura Paintings, he assembled the Sanglyph once more, in a final attempt to revive the Sleeper. He failed, and the Sanglyph used by Lara to destroy both Karel and the Sleeper.

To use the Sanglyph, it must be worn on the hand. (also see Eckhardt's Glove) The image shows the holes where the bearer may put the fingers through.

Powers

The Sanglyph grants the bearer the power to manipulate energy into the form of purple beams and orange flames, with high velocity. It can also create energy barriers which allow no physical passage through them. Finally, the Sanglyph can make identical copies of the bearer and use the clones as weapons.
