the story begins with the introduction of famous motorcycle champion, gerd frentzen. after a tragic accident at the circuit, gerd is rendered a paraplegic, until offered a cure in the way of a drug, which miraculously cures his paraplegia - by transforming him into an amalgam. gerd publicly exposes his amalgam form during an xat operation and has agents hermann and his partner amanda assigned to him by the organization for constant surveillance to study the nature of his metamorphosis, but concluded that the demoniac responsible for gerd's accident was also an amalgam-human hybrid—explaining its ability to elude capture. with the help of his friend hermann, gerd escapes to visit his girlfriend jill, only to discover she had been scheming all along with gerd's former team manager, matthew, in exploiting his fame—old & new. emotionally betrayed, gerd quickly succumbed to the influence of his recent changes and assaults jill. hermann and amanda arrive, causing gerd to flee. pursued by hermann and the xat, gerd encounters the amalgam from the circuit accident and in the ensuing pursuit, gerd crashes and is presumed dead. however, gerd survived, though half of his face was left badly scarred from the crash. branded a demoniac by the general public, gerd garners little moral support (only hermann and amanda's brother malek) and fully succumbs to his metamorphosis, triggering intense hallucinations of amalgams. in a pivotal encounter, gerd finally makes peace with "blue", the other amalgam-human and asks to be stopped if he loses control again. gerd is killed in front of hermann and malek.
