History
Lords of Shadow Epilogue
- "Satan's acolytes are readying for his imminent return."
- — Zobek to Dracula.
Zobek briefly mentioned the acolytes of Satan in the epilogue of Lords of Shadow.
Lords of Shadow 2
Zobek has traced one of the acolytes to the Bioquimek Corporation pharmaceutical corporation, although he has no idea who it is. Dracula infiltrates the corporation where he discovers Raisa Volkova is working on a demonic plague and uses it to transform both herself and her employees into demonic monsters. After defeating and capturing the scientist Dracula brings her back to Zobek for questioning.
Unaware that she is a Acolyte Zobek can't read her mind with it clouded by chaos leading to Dracula to go back to the corporation to get the antidote. Once injected with the cure instead of turning back into a human she instead assumes her true demonic form, blowing the roof off of Zobek's facility in the process, and fights Dracula and is eventually killed by his Void Sword.
Later on thanks to the sacrifice of Victor Belmont the second of the Acolytes Nergal Meslamstea is briefly lured out of hiding before he retreats to his weapons manufacturing facility. There although initially outmatched by the Acolyte Dracula lures Nergal into his castle where their levels of power even out. Trying to gain a advantage Nergal possesses the Riders of The Storm statues.
Dracula fights and destroys each of the statues before he crushes the crippled Nergal's head under his foot. Zobek locates the third, final, and most powerful of the three acolytes, Guido Szandor who is in the middle of summoning Satan in the city's monastery. The vampires allow Satan to be summoned who realizing that he has been duped kills Guido himself for his failure to deal with the vampires.
