"...and the tale of Jeremiah Kaine is one of the most interesting. Brought to Salem aboard the slave ship "Desire", he was freed some years after and built up a successful farm on his own. There is scant written history that tells us what became of Jeremiah Kaine, but there are a few details in the journals of one Hiram Shaw, a magistrate in Salem at the time of the witch trials.
The references in Shaw's journals are raving screeds describing Kaine as a shapeshifter. By day a man, but by night a demon wreathed in flame, dragging burning chains behind him wherever he went. Shaw claimed that instead of a face, Kaine had only a skull.
Oral history from the area, however, refers to Kaine as an avenging angel sent by God to protect the less fortunate and punish the wicked.
Note from Agatha: Oh, Jeremiah. Always the strongest of us. His monument is nearby, where his gaze can forever rest upon the Abbey and watch over us now as he did in life."
- Excerpt from Occult History of The New World, by The Mysterious Scribe
* Jeremiah's statue is part of a Mystery puzzle on the Abbey Grounds. One can find all four statues of the old Midnight Suns facing each other near the Abbey. Their graves however can be found in various places on the Grounds.
