Obviously certain aspects of Duke are borrowed from the Undertaker. Like his entrance style, obviously the picbase, his finisher... His affinity for fire, some have credited as a likeness to Kane which isnt true... When I first started writing Duke he was a satanist... thats why he liked fire... thats also why Asmodeus is depicted by Anton LaVey, the first satanic pope, if you will. Though, since venturing over to the new boards, the satanism has been overshadowed and cast away by Asmo and Duke explaining that they were only considered Satanists by the catholic church...

As far as the story goes, certain plot points, like whether or not he's an Illuminati and whether the Brotherhood is as well, the fact that the Brotherhood holds a secret over the catholic church... those ideas are borrowed from books... the story itself tho, is all my own creation...

The name. I've had this character in my mind for a looong time. He never had a name. When i decided to join an efed I searched long and hard for a meaningful name. A name that was more then just a name. I chose Sebastian Duke. Sebastian, I forget now where it originated, but it means Venerable... or respected... And Duke is the English translation of the Latin word Dux.... which means leader....

So.... in all reality.... Sebastian Duke translates to Respected Leader.... which holds true to Duke's story as the Leader of the Brotherhood.


EDIT: Actually there are certain aspects from my real life I've included from time to time.... what they are though, I'll never tell...
