**Unknown Vol 1** also known as **Unknown: The Archenemy Saga** is a upcoming comic book series featuring the characters such as Unknown and Ripper.

## Synopsis

**THIS CITY NEEDS A NEW HERO!...** **And it's not him.**

**The UNKNOWN** is a city lunatic who imagines himself to be the arbiter of justice. He is so fixated on this idea that he never leaves the image. His identity is a mystery to him, because he has not taken off his mask for a good ten years, but since he first appeared in the news bulletin, his heroism has not yielded significant fruits.

However, everything changes when top secret information falls into the hands of an Unknown person: billionaire, descendant of the founders of the city, philanthropist and the most influential person in the state, Frank O'Hyspe, at night, commits terrible crimes, torturing those whom he considers unworthy of the title of "man" under the talking pseudonym **THE RIPPER**.

The Unknown enters into an unequal battle to make the mad villain answer for his crimes, while the Ripper lights up with the idea of exposing the one who is hiding under a black latex mask.

## Plot

### Fear Itself (#0)

The local vigilant Unknown decides to unravel the tangle of riddles and secrets around the mystical district of the city, shrouded in legends. Descending into the abandoned catacombs, the arbiter of justice encounters an unusual dungeon dweller who calls himself Mister Horrorman.

### The Ripper (#1-2)

The Unknown is a man without a past who lives according to the precepts of the vigilante, saving the city from unrestrained criminals every day, but is still considered nothing more than a local madman. However, the Unknown is trusted with the knowledge that billionaire Frank O'Hyspe is committing murders and criminal dealings under the name of the Ripper. And now, the masked avenger has to stop the almighty and elusive maniac, but at what cost?

### Headhunt (#3-4)

In search of evidence of the Ripper's crimes, Unknown goes to talk with Demetrios Lacheanatra, the nephew of his deceased enemy, the head of the Italian mafia. When everything goes wrong, Unknown seeks help from an old friend and partner. Hunter Albertson wants nothing to do with Unknown, but is forced to work with him when a dangerous hitman, Sniper, is hired by Italian mobsters to kill Unknown.

### Revenge (#5-7)

The last honest person in New-Vigilsfield is Judge Lauren McKeisen. Only she can launch investigations into the Ripper case. The Unknown decides to find an ally in her, but Frank O'Hyspe is back in town! This time, he's hosting a fundraiser at his mansion, which seems like a great opportunity to Unknown to dig up the sordid details of the Ripper's personal life, but things don't go according to plan when it turns out Lauren is also attending the same event.

### Family Business (#8-9)

Unknown's old friend, Detective Singletface, arrives to investigate a spate of suicides among the privileged class of society. Together, they solve the mystery of the mysterious vigilante Lynch, who finds his calling to exterminate the corrupt elite of the city. And one of Lynch's targets may be innocent people, so the Unknown will have to save them.

### Betrayal (#10-12)

The Ripper allies with Lynch to unmask the Unknown and give him his "therapy". Unknown is on the verge of betraying his own ideals, as the actions of the villains will inevitably have a huge impact on who he considered himself to be.

### Ripping Out (#13-15)

The mad Ripper spit on his principles and now all that drives him is the desire to kill the Unknown. However, the masked avenger himself is not at all against this scenario, after what the Ripper did to him. The final showdown between two sworn enemies, and only one of them will come out of this battle alive.
