Scripture

Scriptures (when capitalized) are powerful magical weapons. Andre Darter tried to retrieve the Scriptures to secure the allegiance of the Burial Agency in the Third War for the Crown.

History
In 150,082 CMT, Andre Darter promised to retrieve the Scriptures on behalf of the Burial Agency in the hope that it would secure their allegiance to him in the Third War for the Crown. This was because Andre thought that he could only win the war if he had access to artifacts provided by the Burial Agency. Andre was sent to retrieve the Second Scripture, which he believed could be in a library in West City on Datrio.

Andre and his familiar, Dire Knight, arrived in the city in search of the Second Scripture, but Dire Knight was sent into a berserker rage when a Platinum Lantern Ring bestowed its power to Videlle in a department store nearby. Andre was forced to teleport Dire Knight and himself to the outskirts of the city to avoid further chaos, where he berated Dire Knight because he reasoned that the rampage could have cost them the chance to recover the Second Scripture if it was, indeed, in one of the city's libraries.

Later, Andre revealed to Washu that he was on Datrio to retrieve a Scripture for the Burial Agency. Washu disapproved of this because "even Crimson Moon knew that the Scriptures' power did not belong in the hands of mortals, nor even his own vampire kin". Andre tried to explain his reasoning, but Washu continued to defy him, so Andre drew her into the world created by his Reality Marble and fought her.
