Plot: Khalid Nassour is an Arabic medical student living in Brooklyn, New York and is working to get his doctorate in medicine. One day, he comes across in his family home old relics that belonged to his great uncle Kent Nelson, which include a broach that has the mark of an ankh, a very old yellow cloak, and a golden helmet which looks like it was worn by an ancient Greek general. He decides to try these relics on and he is sent into a different dimension where he meets two spirits. The first spirit is of Nabu, the Mesopotamian god of Wisdom and the other spirit is of the Phantom Stranger, an enigmatic cosmic being. They mentor Khalid in the use of the Helmet of Fate, the broach known as the Amulet of Anubis, and the worn cloak known as the Cloak of Destiny. A dark figure named Wotan also emerges from the shadows and it is up to Khalid to seize the initiative and to decide whether to grant Forgiveness as the Phantom Stranger advocates or Punishment as Nabu advocates.
