Overview[]
John Lyons was the head of Armitage, a multi-billion dollar company that maintained strong political connections, but also had a vested interest in many off-the-book projects, including the cultivation, nurturing and protection of the Antichrist. John often went head-to-head with one of his board member, Ann Rutledge, and the two often disagreed upon the best methods for dealing with their Satanic ward, Damien Thorn.
Biography[]
John presided over his cult in an abattoir on his estate where he sacrificed a lamb by slitting its throat. [2]
After killing Amani Golkar, John Lyons was set upon by a demonic rottweiler who tore at his face and throat. He likley died from these injuries, but his final fate on the matter remains unclear. [3]
