swilling cheap beer, smoking bad cigars, and starting brawls over women of
dubious moral character". In the meantime, the remnants of the Cabal

Gideon, the Cabal's "sinister genius leader", known simply as
"The Word" to his followers. [Conjecture: based on storyline of

the being responsible for the malevolent intrusions of monsters onto Earth.
