Ethan Torrance is one of the Flatliners created by the Orpheus Group and Project Flatline. He now serves as the second-in-command of Uriah Bishop's pigment cult, Missionary Works of the Holy Ghost. Torrance was a violent career criminal who decided to go out in style. When arrested for his third crime (thus making in ineligible for release), he was arrested for murder. As he was about to be executed, he revealed the whereabouts of another victim. This cycle continued on for years, keeping Torrance just out of reach of death. * Orpheus: Shadow Games, p. 167
