A mad fairground Impresario and Illusionist, Maximillian La Fayette, is obsessed with the infamous Carnival of the Dead. He has made it his life's work to recreate this spectacle of horror, using Voodoo to Raise the Dead and encourage them to cavort in a gruesome Masked parade. He has chosen the Island of Los, with its deserted Fairground and convenient ancient Plague Pit, as the perfect venue. It falls to Ben, who's quite handy at stage illusions himself, to prevent this from happening.
