[Part 2] Evil Rook AU... in which the Venatori succeeded in capturing Rook, and through relentless torture and isolation, reshaped him as a weapon, bound to a master through a vial of his own blood.

In this AU, Rook was never trapped in the fade, but was taken by the Venatori instead, vanishing without a trace for weeks. Viago finally picked up his trail, and dropped everything to bring him back, joined by Lucanis who had already spent weeks carving a bloody path through mages in search for a clue.

(My original focus was supposed to be Rook and Viago angst but I got carried away and it's not really what I did, so I guess I have to draw the follow up with the two now lol)

Evil Rook AU: part 2! [Part 1]

Who other than Viago to handle a brainwashed Crow Rook?
They have such a complex bond, as deep as it is bitter, their fight had to reflect it somehow, even if Abel is no longer in control of himself.

Also, I should add that despite the Venatori's grip on his mind, Rook remains aware of his actions. He knows what he's doing, but he can't stop it.
Lucanis, come get your man, he's about to kill his only father figure :-(
