Meanwhile, after acquiring the unwilling services of Dragunov--a once prominent Inquisition officer on the run from his former colleagues--the equally mysterious entity known as Grimm sets out to free Seth.

He is also unaware that another friend, Mélie, has succumbed to an alternate persona that's led her to join the Inquisition's main foes, the desperate and violent Domitors!
