Chance Brooks amassed an incredible fortune before the age of thirty. The constant workload burned him out, so while at one of his Christmas parties while speaking to a friend, he decided he would retire to a tiny island she spoke of. Two months later, Chance had placed the final signature on the final sale of his vast holdings, and he was free to move to his new property on Fox Island. Chance couldn't believe a place like the village of Fox existed. He fell in love with the island and his new home when he saw pictures of it. His first days on the island were perfect. Chance spent the evenings sitting on his deck looking into the vastness of the Milky Way. Chance Thought nothing could improve the island, but then he met and fell in love with Lv. She was perfect, Chance thought; he knew Lv's mother. She had been the real estate agent who sold him the Humpries home. Nothing could dampen his love for the island or his new home, Chance thought. Then, one night, as a storm approached the island, something moved along the fence that stopped anyone from falling fifty feet to the shore below. Chance sat on his deck trying to see what the thing was, and then it crawled over the fence and started across the lawn towards him.

Roderique loved growing up on his father's farm; he would dream of far-off lands like most young men. Roderique's older brother Louis was a Catholic priest, making their Mother so proud. Roderique knew that his brother wanted him gone so he could inherit the farm and land. As brothers, they never got along. Louis was always jealous and would go out of his way to cause trouble for his younger brother. Roderique knew what his brother was like and never trusted Louis. So when Louis came to him about going out into the world looking for treasure the Church had lost or stolen, Roderique was skeptical about the offer. Louis was desperate for his brother to leave, and Roderique knew he would take the offer. The year was 1475 when Roderique, with his old mare, left his father's farm. France was a dangerous land then, and Roderique knew he would have to be careful on this quest. Following clues left in the ruins of the Barberie Cathedral, Roderique finds his way to a dark fortress on top of Mount Bezu. Breaking into the fortress, Roderique makes his camp, knowing he will be in the fortress for days so he can find all he was sent on the quest for. Rene had spent so many centuries waiting for the legend of the young man to come true; when he first heard a horse, Rene thought he was going mad; then he wondered if a spirit could go mad. Rene befriended Roderique, he watched as the young man picked up the golden cross. Rene and his brothers wept as the spike from the cross punctured Roderique's flesh. They knew the pain it would cause. The brothers of the knights of Sionis knew they had a new brother. Their new brother would live for over five hundred years to keep the treasure safe. When Roderique woke up on the third day, he knew the real Quest had started.

As a young boy, Rene watched as his mother was murdered by two men paid by a wealthy man who had raped her. This man knew his father would disown him if he found out a girl his son raped had given birth to a bastard son. Rene was raised by an old man who seemed never to age. Joseph had told Rene of his son, his first son, and how this son was killed by men who feared losing power. Rene watched as Joseph taught him to work with his hands and listened when Joseph spoke of the bible and his first son. Rene would become angry when Joseph said of his mother. Rene knew Joseph was right when he told him how she had loved him. When Rene was seventeen, Joseph told him he was dying and that a man was coming to take him to see his brothers. Rene looked at the door when someone knocked on it; slowly, Rene opened it to a giant of a man. Josephus stood in the rain looking down at Rene; he stepped into the tiny house and went to kneel at Joseph's side."You will go with Josephus. He is your brother. He will finish training you for what is to come." Joseph said before he died. That night, Rene started his new life with a man he didn't know, a man bearing terrible pain and hiding a horrid curse.

John had been John his whole life, but when General Chow tortured him, he remembered a lady calling him Jack. How could he have another person's memories? John knew he needed to escape the prison he was in; he didn't know where in China he was being held. He must know he needed to get out. Every day for months, the general would send a guard to get him, and every day he would ask about the damned accounts. Every day, John would say he didn't know about the accounts. John knew what the general was talking about; he wanted to know about the bank accounts John's former chief had around the world.Chow-Yang looked out his office windows. A general on his payroll had captured John. The bastard was to kill John as soon as he was found; Chow-yang knew the General was torturing John, trying to get his account numbers. Yang smiled. No one knew the account numbers but him, and once he convinced the CIA that John was killed in the field, he would die as his plane crashed into the South China Sea. Yang was now in complete control of the drugs and weapons trade in half the world. All he and Mike Styles needed was for John Smyth to be dead. Then came the one phone call Yang didn't want to hear: a CIA listening base caught Chinese chatter about an escaped prisoner.

Joan knew about David; she'd been watching him so when the time came, she and Jack could act and protect their friends and leader. Now Richard, the unit, along with Jack, Joan Eugene Tish, and Tosh, flew across the African sky, not knowing they were moments from being shot down by a Chinese plane. The real fight for love and friendship started the moment Jack realized they had survived the plane crash.
