Ground Zero
Greystone Entertainment is a company dedicated to delivering fast-paced, action packed-stories. Our founder grew up watching reruns of old superhero cartoons from the 60s, which in turn, helped him realize his dream of starting his own comic book company. However, his drawing skills didn't meet his expectations, so he focused on creating character profiles instead. Whether it was an entire backstory or something as basic as a physical appearance, he wrote as much as he could for each character and began writing short stories based on those profiles. Of course, he was still very young at the time, so writing was just a hobby for him. However, certain factors pushed him to test his luck and find artists and designers who could help bring his stories to life.
The Man Behind The Monster is the first story arc in the Beast Masters series, as well as the launching pad for Greystone Entertainment. It follows the story of a military commander who betrays his king and declares war on an entire nation. Operating under a codename that's synonymous with death, Mortem is a one-man army with a dangerous ability, and he won't let anything stop him from accomplishing his goal. Is this man truly a blood-thirsty monster? Or is he hiding something else underneath all that armor? Find the answers to these questions in Beast Masters: Conquest Vol. 1.
Characters
King Bradford, The King Of Conquerors, is in possession of the world's most powerful military, as well as an ancient weapon that was once thought to be nothing more than an old legend. With a single command, he has reduced all of his enemies to ashes and forced entire cities to bend to his will. His insatiable hunger for conquest has led to an intense rivalry with a neighboring territory, but it has also caused his own allies to despise him.
When in battle, Mortem fought like a vicious animal and used his extensive knowledge of the human anatomy to punish his enemies. His unorthodox fighting style allowed him to climb up the ranks of the army at an incredible pace and earn himself the nickname, The Dark Emperor. After leading a military campaign in enemy territory and obtaining a strange power, he became one of the deadliest men on the planet.
Luke Bronson is a ruthless and selfish soldier whose love for money is rivaled only by his passion for shipbuilding. He's determined to make sure his engineering skills are known throughout the world, even if it means designing deadly warships for King Bradford and using them to destroy his own hometown.
Monica Wintergreen is an exceptional fighter who is particularly skilled at using The Northern Winds, a difficult technique that has claimed the lives of several people who have used it in the past. After mastering the technique and becoming one of the youngest instructors at the Frost Mountain Academy, Monica established herself as a top candidate to replace the school's current grandmaster. However, her irritable nature and constant habit of getting into trouble may have hurt her chances of getting promoted.
