THE STORY
Eddie and Papa IV and both invited to a mysterious party in TransyLvAnia (Taken from the intro to A Dance Macabre). They soon discover that things are going to get out of hand, even faster than usual, as a sinister force has mastered the power to mimic the unbindable will of these sentient powers of free will and individuality, in an effort to bind them to its control.
Together they must fight through the hordes of mind-controlled revelers to confront the corrupted mimic, Cardinal Immortus (a clone of Papa Emeritus).
THE CHARACTER
Papa Emeritus IV rises to power! This former Cardinal is a spell caster who pressures the enemy with his powerful magic and specialized synergy. His passive ability, Life Eternal, anoints his allies, blessing them with increased stats and bestowing a variety of powerful effects.
