These demons seem to have foreseen Bartholomeus's coming and made preparations, almost as if someone was tipping them off. Under normal circumstances, demons lose their memories after a saintly thrashing, meaning they can't learn from their mistakes or anticipate an Apostle's strategy, but something is different about the newest incarnations. Demons can never be killed, only vanquished and forced to piece themselves back together over a period of decades, so an Apostle's work is never done. An Apostle’s job, we're told, is to return to the mortal world and combat the dark powers when they regroup. Once she’s safe and the creature is defeated, she introduces herself as Vic, a local tattoo artist, and offers to help the Apostle find his footing in the city as he figures out his next moves. He debarks straight into battle, drawing his sword to defend a young woman from a possessed attacker. We first meet Bartholomeus as he sails into the city of Rotbork, which the Heavenly Hosts have pinpointed as a hub of demonic activity.

While the result is full of interesting ideas and impressive graphic novel-styled visuals, unfortunately the execution falls far short of its lofty ambitions.
The Blind Prophet represents developer Ars Goetia's attempt to resolve this scriptural ambiguity, telling the tale of the battle-hardened Apostle Bartholomeus and his eternal struggle to protect creation from the forces of Hell. Case in point: the Biblical “Acts of the Apostles” never says in so many words that Christ's twelve disciples went on to form an elite fighting force of sword-wielding demon slayers after ascending to Heaven-but it doesn't actually get around to saying they didn't, either. As a faith endures across the millennia, so too does the tradition of using storytelling to fill in the gaps.
It's left to mortals to speculate about many of the details, oftentimes through folk stories and legends. The primary purpose of a religious text isn’t to tell a story but to impart a message to the faithful, meaning that large portions of the central figures' lives often go unrecorded.
