The Covenant Files

Lily runs 14,218 probability simulations in the Holy Redeemer basement, discovering that 87.3% of timelines without Hope result in dimensional collapse within three years.

Marcus responds to a major dimensional collapse at the Merchandise Mart where 200 people experience superposition across seven timelines. Hope, age five, walks calmly into the fractured space and stabilizes it with the ease of a child crossing a street.

Six months after the Commission vote. Marcus files reports, cares for baby Rachel. A package arrives: ancient Iscariot manuscript fragment and thirty silver coins stained with ancient blood. Vatican archivist Father Gambetti calls, says he is about to be killed, directs Marcus to St.

Lily reveals Grigori heritage documentation from her father Samael. Marcus discovers Michael Throne is his half-brother. Bridge identity crystallized - mediation vs. cowardice question planted. Lily offers precognitive abilities for Sunday intervention.

Marcus visits Lily at her boarding school. When she touches him, her psychometry ability triggers - she sees his guilt, St. Bernardine's, and him letting Markowski die. Marcus finally tells her the truth about being Nephilim.

Marcus confronts Torretti at Sword of St. Michael headquarters. Torretti reveals the Church is MANAGING Kramer, not stopping him - letting him prove Nephilim can be saved so the Church can recruit them as a supernatural army. Torretti ordered Markowski to kill Lily as a threat.

Marcus meets Kramer face-to-face in Wicker Park. Kramer reveals Lily is #37 on his list, the Kane family Nephilim bloodline, and that Marcus's sister was killed by the Sword. Kramer offers to kill assassin Markowski to protect Lily. Marcus makes his first moral compromise by looking the other way.

Marcus wakes at Morningstar Babel after Brimstone rescued him from Torretti. Brimstone reveals the 1987 truth: Jonathan Kane was murdered by Torretti for refusing to kill Nephilim children. The victims are Nephilim descendants with infernal contracts. Kramer is building a cosmic legal case.

Marcus meets Ray (Angel of Death) at The Last Hour bar. Ray reveals souls are being hijacked from Hell's collection, the Ritual of Transference exploits a cosmic loophole, and both Heaven and Hell are upset. Ray provides Father Santos's hidden apartment address.
