Story

Opening

West had stolen too many souls from Cenobites by reanimating corpses.

They wouldn't allow that. But West was able to make a deal with them.

He promised he would give them thousands of souls if they spared his life.

Thanks to his knowledge and research, he knew how to do that.

Ending

With no more Cenobites on his tail, West was free to continue his research.

He betrayed Ash since he only wanted the Necronomicon from him.

The Cenobites were after West, not Ash, and he used that fool so well.

He left the book with Ash, as only a few pages interested him.

Killing Ash wasn't needed, besides he could use him again someday.

Fortunately he had powerful allies to protect him from Ash's possible revenge.

But he thought it was only a matter of time until things could change.

The Cenobites could come back again and get him, he must hurry.

But Herbert's knowledge extended very fast...

Soon he would be able to defeat death and in the process make him a god.
