History:
(Hellstorm: Prince of Lies#18 (fb) - BTS) - Some members of the Church of Lucifer in Chicago rejected Anton Devine after he moved the church's headquarters to Hellstorm's home in Fire Lake (in Hellstorm: Prince of Lies#15). They formed their own group known as the Ambasat or Ambassadors of Satan.
(Hellstorm: Prince of Lies#18) - Two of the Asura angels led the drug-addled Gabriel Rosetti (he was on the angelic drug K, which made him highly susceptible to the Asura's commands) to the dilapidated headquarters of the Ambasat in Chicago. They sent him in to deal with the cult because they couldn't enter due to Satanic seals around the building. Armed with two handguns Gabriel confronted the cultists and slaughtered them with a hail of bullets. The first to die was the female "living altar". One cultist told Gabriel that it was his first time being there and promised to never return, but Gabriel showed no mercy. One tried to run and was shot in the back. A female tried to convince Gabriel that he didn't have to kill them, but he quickly shot her three times. The father of one of the girls tried to explain himself and promised that his daughter was only there because she was interested and he wanted to show her his religion and would never hurt her, but a bullet from Gabriel's gun ignited an oil lamp (at least I think it was one) above the man and set the man on fire (he was presumably the high priest). Three more cultists tried to run, but Gabriel ran after them with guns blazing. He crippled one by shooting him in the back and then killed him with two more bullets to the head. Another female fell out through a window after taking two bullets to the back. A bald male ran up the stairs, but Gabriel went after him with a song on his lips and shot him as well. In the end the whole cult was slain and Gabriel set the whole building on fire with the high priest's body, stuffed with gasoline-soaked rags and his head filled with gunpowder, as a centerpiece to the fire.
