When Francesco was alone in the lair of the Iscariot Army Corps, he heard an insane laughter of a woman from nowhere. A shadowy figure popped out from behind him and said to him, "I'm home, Father."

"Who's there?" – Francesco said.

"I am Harriet Anderson, the woman cowboy of the Iscariot Army Corps from the United States of America. I survived the First Coming on December 21 2012 and fled to the USA when it ended. Now I am here to see you again." – The figure said as it turned into the shape of a woman clad in a tuxedo and a cowboy hat.

"Harriet, you're still alive..." – Francesco said.

A woman clad in a tuxedo and a cowboy hat made her appearance in San Francisco. She was the notorious American mafia mistress Harriet Anderson, the woman who was turned into a vampire after her recruitment into the Iscariot Army Corps in 1939, when she was 28 years old. She was a blonde woman with red lips, golden eyes and white skin. She was clad in a black tuxedo jacket with a rose on her left breast, a white shirt with a black tie, a short black skirt, a black cowboy hat, high-heeled shoes, two holsters around her waist and a holster on her left thigh. According to some legends made after Harriet was turned, her attractive appearance helped much with luring men to her trap to feed on their blood. Harriet was armed with a Colt M1911A1 pistol with a silencer, two Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolvers, a Thompson M1928A1 submachine gun with a drum magazine, a whip, a bowie knife. Harriet came to San Francisco with a muscular blonde man named Michael Todd. He was clad in the uniform of a US Marine, and was said to be converted at the age of 29 in the year of 1999. Michael Todd was a man with supernatural strength and durability, and an undead zombie with a proficiency in firearms. He was an all-rounder capable of using guns and close-ranged weapons, and he could even utilize heavy weaponry with ease. At the same time Harriet and Michael the Iscariot executives had arrived, a corrupted Judas Coin fused with a power shovel at a construction site and turned it into an Iscariot Monster named Troll, a hulking monster with grey skin, caterpillar tracks on feet, tough yellow-black striped chest plate, a power shovel on his left arm and a mechanical claw on the right one. It possessed immense strength and a violent temper, and went rampant at the site. There it bashed the workers with its arms and stomped on them with its big feet, until they were black and blue. Then he left the construction site and acted in the same way outside the streets.

A man wearing a leather waistcoat and a cowboy hat appeared in San Francisco. He stumbled across a group of Iscariorcs and Iscariuruks led by Iscariot Monster Troll, Michael Todd and Harriet Anderson.

"Hello there, cowboy. You've arrived so early." Harriet said with a suggestive voice.

"Who are you looking for?" Michael said with a grumpy tone.

The man in a cowboy suit photographed them (and even himself) with an old-fashioned camera.

"You know that I hate being photographed." A furious Troll said before bashing the man into the face with his shovel arm.

The violent bash knocked the man down and he fell headfirst onto the ground. But he got back on his feet and shook his head, before instantly transforming into a hideous monster. His costume was consisted of a black bowler hat, a grey tuxedo suit worn over by a brown coat, a checkered scarf around the neck. But the human figure wearing this suit was greyish and covered with black cracks, before the entire suit greyed out and was also covered in cracks.

"What are you?" Harriet asked with surprise and anger as she shot at him with two revolvers drawn out from the holsters around her waist.

Strangely, Harriet's guns never harmed the mysterious man, because he was a freakish entity.
