Actually, that's not quite
right. The name's Drood. Eddie Drood. Of the great powerful
Droods. You know... the Droods? The clan that's
been watching mankind's back since we all dropped out of the
trees? The group of hard-fighting, devilishly handsome arse
kickers who take on the monsters of the world so that you
lot can go about your happy lives? Surely you've heard of us...
No? Well, now you have.
Anyway, there's a new head of the family these days. Because
I was the one who exposed--and clobbered--an evil corruption
that had infested the Droods for too long, they've put me in
charge of the whole kit and caboodle. But it's not going to
be an easy gig, mates.
You see, during World War II, the Droods made a pact with
some nasty buggers from another dimension. We needed the
Loathly Ones to fight some other nasty buggers the Nazis
were using. But once the war was over, they decided that
they liked this world too much to leave.
We Droods are the only thing standing between them and you.
We're the world's last, best hope. But unfortunately, I'm
still not keen on trusting some of my own kin--and if I
choose the wrong horse to back, everything we know is going
bye-bye.
Which means the world is one hell of a lot of trouble.
