| “ | Brother Kanker they call me... high lord in the diseased halls of the dead. Look around you! The blood, the bloated bodies, the maggot-ridden mortal shells... these are the signs, the coming of a new age. The doors have been opened! The seals broken! And the final steps into the abyss... the terrible mysteries of the Ninth Circle... | ” |

Background Information[]
- "Kanker" is Dutch for "cancer." It's also a homophone for "chancre," a pustule associated with syphilis, and the related "canker sore," an ulcer typically found in the mouth. All definitions are disgusting (appropriate for the Nosferatu) and associated with disease (appropriate for someone spreading a supernatural plague).
