HISTORY: Little is known about the Hidden. They serve Regent, apparently hoping to gain some portion of the power he wished to gain.
(Blaze: LoB#1-4)-Regent directed the Hidden to capture the children of John Blaze, hoping to make them his servants, so that he could control the power they would inherit via the Medallion of Power. They did so, but Blaze tracked them down, rescued his kids, and brought down Regent's base on their heads, presumably killing them all.
COMMENTS: Created by Howard Mackie and Ron Wagner.
More work from the House of Mackie. Look out, we're mysterious!!!! Beyond that, not so much.
Regent will get his own entry in a few weeks.

I Appendix
Dark Design was the leader of
the Hidden, and served as second-in-command to Regent. He led
their secret ceremonies, and made a bunch of threats he couldn't
back-up. He was in the stronghold when it came crashing down,
although Blaze may have finished him off before then.
--Blaze: LoB#1-BTS, 2 (3, 4
Initiate had just recently
undergone the ceremony to join the Hidden (hence his name!). He
was big and strong and used a sword, but Blaze took him out with
his hellfire charged knife and gun.
--Blaze: LoB#2 (3, 4
George Waters was the brother of Marianne, and
apparently an old friend of John and/or Roxanne. He secretly
became a member of the Hidden, and tricked Marianne into helping
him abduct the kids. When Blaze and Marianne learned the truth
about him, he jammed a knife into Blaze's face, killed Marianne
and took the kids again.
Later, at Regent's stronghold he pumped Blaze
full of arrows before Blaze blew him apart with his hellfire
shotgun.
He was a skilled hunter and trapper, and used knives and arrows.
--Blaze: LoB#1-BTS, 2
Marianne Waters was the
younger sister of George, who tricked her into helping him abduct
the children by telling her they were protecting the kids from
Blaze and his dangerous friends. When she learned the truth,
George killed her and took the kids again.
