Another contribution to the cover contest:
As a young man Dorian Hargrave flirted with a pretty young girl in a bar, unaware that she secretly slipped roofies in his beer.
When he awoke, he found himself tied to a table in a dark room full of satanic symbols and objects, and saw beside him his kidnapper who held a strange dagger clasped with both hands over his chest while reciting verses in a language unknown to him.
Before he could really understand what was happening, the air in the room was filled with an acrid stench of sulfur and a repulsive ugly demonic figure manifested itself out of nowhere who called on the girl to sacrifice Dorian in his name to obtain infinite magical power.
But just at the moment when the tip of the knife touched his chest over the heart, a bright light flared up at the contact point and threw his assailant with a massive shockwave on the wall behind her. In the following chaos Dorian managed to free himself and to snatch the knife from the girl, who looked now no longer very young and beautiful, which he then immediately pushed in the chest of the half materialized demon.
Here, another flash of light appeared and the demon was torn into a thousand pieces with a last cry. At the same time the witch who had kidnapped him, aged faster and faster before his eyes until she crumbled to dust.
A few days after these incidents Dorian Hargrove discovered that he suddenly possessed the ability of psychic perception, which allows him to feel any kind of paranormal activity and see spirits.
Since those events Dorian studies the mystical powers, collects magical artifacts and books of all kinds and uses his supernatural powers to track down witches, demons, spirits and other magical creatures and to “kill” them.
He seems to be completely immune to any form of magic, and to be able to throw it back at those who tried to attack him with magic. He is also able of to “bless” any object that he touches in unsolved ways and turn it into a weapon against the supernatural.
He is obviously a nemesis of the “Psychotwins” Alisa and Alexey Rasputin and has made ​​it his mission to destroy these at any price.
