Torquemada

## Tomás de Torquemada

**Tomás de Torquemada** is the current Judge of Avila. Formerly, he is also the Grand Inquisitor in Spain within the 15th Century. He is the main antagonist in Fallen Road as his name was mentioned by one of his henchman in both the third and the sixth chapter and making his appearance in the near end of the seventh chapter to confront both the player and Jeffrey Harris until the arrival of Cal at the end of this chapter.

## Season 1

In the 15th Century, Tomás de Torquemada was once a Grand Inquisitor in Spain who mercilessly enjoys killing people by burning them at stake and tortures them to death after he persecutes people who is deem as both traitors and heretics. Despite the Pope tried to stop him, he continued his merciless killings. It's unknown how he had died during this time and was soon revived as a demon serving as both the Judge of Avila. He even enlisted Doctor Humphrey Harper Hawkins who is loyal to him and had similar actions as him as he was responsible in creating the demon rift so that demons can invade the humans.

In the present day, Torquemada was mentioned first by one of his henchmen in the climax of Chapter 3 when he reveals to the player about his real name and his role as the Judge of Avila and other of his henchmen in Chapter 6 before he was subdued by both Cal and Jeffrey Harris. He was mentioned again in Chapter 4 by the player while she was talking to Ramos Hearse unaware that it was his right-hand man Morales that she had informed of what they have done for infiltrate the illegal rave party.

Torquemada made his appearance in the near end of the seventh chapter where he's having a transaction with the leader of the Styx who has the crate box filled with celestial bullets. Torquemada has no money to get the bullets but wanted to recruit them into joining on his side. But the leader refuses his offer and their deal is off as they seizing the box. Torquemada eventually demonstrates his telekinesis to knock the Styx leader out until he decapitates his head with the same power. The remaining Styx demons had no choice but to join on his side as he orders one of his demons to give them red priest robes. Therefore, he manages to block the player's telepathy when she attempted to invade his mind from her carelessness and seeing her and Jeffrey Harris are spies to their cause and he also destroys the MI34 when Jeff attempted to shoot him. Torquemada also sees the player's ruse is a trap causing him to display his demonic powers and forcing the player to bow him in a telepathic force. The player attempts to shoot his heart with her Magnum and it was reloaded with celestial bullets but Torquemada uses his demonic powers to burn her hands to drop her Magnum onto the ground. He then knocks Jeff with his telekinesis when he attempted to shoot him with his shotgun to save the player and he chokes the player with his telekinesis to see the demons' delight of seeing her being killed. But Cal knocks Torquemada with telekinesis of his own to rescue them both.

. Torquemada eventually leaves when Cal returns to help the player who is now seriously hurt following his attack. At the beginning of Chapter 8, he battles Cal equally only to be defeated by him causing him to escape. Therefore, one of his henchmen, Dagan frequently warns both Zac Hudson and the player about Torquemada even in Chapter 9 when both manage to arrive at his main territory to rescue Max Wain.

In Chapter 11, they succeed in capturing Morgane and Torquemada attempts to execute her for her "sins" at his main territory. When the player and Ramos arrive to rescue Morgane, he soon betrays her and finally reveals himself as Morales and Torquemada was impressed to see his right-hand man's arrival (which indicates his manipulations to the player at the beginning of Chapter 3). Before they continue their execution, Jesse, Jeff, Zac and Cal arrive to stop them and succeeds in rescuing Morgane. Therefore, Torquemada was disgusted to see Zac aiding them but also made his revelation by showing his demon form to everyone. Zac and Cal fight side by side against Torquemada and Morales.

Torquemada returns in the near end of Chapter 21 where his main headquarters is connected through the Silver Key Asylum owned by Doctor Hawkins who reveals his survival from getting dispersed by Morales in his disguised human form. He watches to see the player, Zac, Caliel, Danael, Jeff, Morgane and Jesse infiltrate his main headquarters and this time he quickly incapacitates Jeff using his telekinetic powers in the battle. At the final chapter of the story, Torquemada was battled by both Angels and fellow Demons who were opposing against him and was sided with Morales. He then witnessed the death of his right-hand man at the hands of the player who killed him outright to rescue Zac. He then tries to attack her only to be rescued by Danael who finally joins at the player's side. Realizing his treachery, he and Danael fought in a long and hard battle until Danael slays him with his sword, ending his reign of terror and destruction to the Innocents.
