  The Basileus Machine
  Basileus's Machine is a house-like machine "designed by the Devil and powered by the dead". It physically resembles a two-story mansion with walls made of ectobar glass etched with Latin containment spells; at the heart of the house is a central core of huge, mechanical gears and a rotating crest of rings. It requires thirteen earth-bound spirits, all of which represent The Black Zodiac in order to work. Once the machine is activated, it will supposedly open the Ocularis Infernum (Latin for "The Eye of Hell") which grants the user unfathomable power.
  
  The machine is named after the 15th century astrologer Basileus, who created the blueprints for the machine in The Arcanum while he was under demonic possession. The machine was built by Cyrus Kriticos nearly 600 years later. However, it was destroyed before it could gain the thirteenth ghost needed to complete the Black Zodiac and open the Ocularis.

  The Ocularis Infernum
  It is a demonic eye located in Hell that, once opened, will allow its user (whoever's able to control it) the power to see everything in the past and future, Heaven and Earth, the blessed and the damned, as well. The Basileus Machine was designed to open the Ocularis and give the machine's user control over it.

  The Arcanum
  It is an ancient book written in the 15th century by the astrologer Basileus while he was under demonic possession. It contains spells, profiles on the 13 ghosts of the Black Zodiac, and blueprints for creating a mansion-like machine with which to open and gain control over the Ocularis Infernum (in Latin: "Eye of Hell").

  The First Born Son
  

  As a child, Billy was fascinated by Western films, and wouldn't allow anyone to keep him from them. One day, a neighbor taunted Billy into a duel, in which Billy used a toy gun. However, his toy cap gun was no match for the real steel-tipped arrow the neighbor was using, and he died when the neighbor shot it through the back of his head. The neighbor kid was later on arrested and sent to juvie.
  
  The first ghost in the Black Zodiac. The First Born Son is the ghost of a little boy who dies of an arrow shot through the head. It may possibly also represent an infant ghost or a firstborn male child.

  The Torso
  

  Jimmy Gambino was obsessed with gambling, and would spend his days at the track instead of at school, and his nights gambling in seedy bars. Jimmy eventually opened his own booking business, though he was barely able to make his payoffs because of his compulsive gambling and he quickly developed a reputation due to his refusal to turn down a bet.
  
  The second ghost in the Black Zodiac. The Torso is missing his legs, and/or his waist. It may possibly represent a severed or mutilated ghost.

  The Bound Woman
  

  During her Senior year, Susan dated the captain of the school football team, Chet Walters. When Chet caught Susan with another boy on Prom Night, he clubbed the boy to death before tying Susan up and strangling her with his tie, breaking her neck. He buried her body under the 50-yard line of the school football field.
  
  The third ghost in the Black Zodiac. This ghost is of a woman who died having been tied-up in some fashion, but in the Arcanum, the only bound ghost is the Angry Princess (in which case, it just represents general suicide), so it is entirely possible that instead of being physically bound, this ghost had, as a prerequisite, sealed her own fate, as seen by how some sort of action, such as her infidelity, led to her demise.

  The Withered Lover
  

  In spite of being burned alive, Jean was, quite possibly, the only ghost out of the twelve captured that was purely innocent and kind, as she wasn't prone to aggression or causing any kind of harm to the living or dead.
  
  The fourth ghost in the Black Zodiac. This ghost is of someone who died having a withered or worn appearance, it may also represent someone (the prerequisite may be that of a woman) who had her future, dreams or relationships destroyed or broken, like being separated from one's mate.

  The Torn Prince
  

  Fate threw a curve ball when Royce was 17, Johnny, a greaser that challenged him to a drag race, but unbeknownst to Royce, had cut a brake line in his car prior to the event. This, of course, caused Royce to lose control of the car; resulting in an accident which tore a large amount of flesh off of his chest, as well as the right side of his face. This incident quickly ended Royce's life.
  
  The fifth ghost in the Black Zodiac. This ghost has much of the skin on the right side of his body missing, leaving the bones and muscles exposed, it may possibly represent a "prince" (spoiled, popular, loved, etc), whose pride was taken down, or had his ego destroyed.

  The Angry Princess
  

  One night, while Dana was alone in a clinic where she worked, she tried to perform surgery on herself due to an imaginary imperfection on her face, but the unorthodox procedure went horribly awry, and left her blinded in one eye. She then gave up on beauty, and committed suicide in her bathtub by slashing herself with a butcher's knife until she bled to death. When her body was discovered, she was described by her loved ones as being "beautiful in death as she was in life".
  
  The sixth ghost in the Black Zodiac. This ghost apparently is of a young woman who dies by committing suicide and, as the name suggests, is that of a woman, either popular, spoiled or beautiful (just like that of a princess) that couldn't see past her privileges and, as such, she would be unhappy with her blessings.

  The Pilgrimess
  

  When the town's livestock began to die mysteriously, shortly after her arrival, Isabella was accused by the local preacher of witchcraft. She denied the claim, but when the preacher fell ill, the town quickly turned against her and cornered her in a barn. They lit the structure on fire, but Isabella emerged, completely unscathed. Instead of a quick death, Isabella was sentenced to a slow, painful death in the stocks, where kids stoned her, men cursed at her, and women spat at her until she eventually died of starvation weeks later.
  
  The seventh ghost in the Black Zodiac. It appears to be the ghost of a female pilgrim or a primitive woman. It may also represent an outsider or stranger, not appreciated or accepted by others, seeing the implications of her alien origins.

  The Great Child and The Dire Mother
  

  Harold was raised in a carnival as an attraction and his mother's protector. Because Margaret never stopped spoiling him, Harold not only weighed 300 pounds by his later years, but somehow retained his child-like mindset his entire life to the point that he never grew out of diapers. One day, the circus workers kidnapped Margaret as part of a cruel joke on her and her son and kept her in a sack, where she suffocated. Harold killed the circus workers responsible for Margaret's manslaughter with an axe as well as a lot of the other freaks, not knowing they weren't actually responsible, and put their remains on display for paying customers. When the carnival broker found out what Harold had done, he ordered an angry mob to confront and horribly execute Harold.
  
  The eighth and ninth ghosts in the Black Zodiac. The Great Child is the ghost of a very large and overweight child, and the Dire Mother is that of a very small woman. They are probably ghosts of a child, spoiled even into its maturity, and a mother who was bad enough to let it happen. They may also be the ghosts of a related mother and child.

  The Hammer
  

  George Markley was an honest, hardworking blacksmith, until a racist man wrongfully accused George of theft, and threatened to banish him from the town they lived in. Knowing he was innocent, George stood up to Nathan and refused to move, causing Nathan and his gang to one day beat George's wife and children to death to send him the cruel message to move or else he would suffer the same fate as his family. Enraged, George tracked down Nathan and his friends, and brutally beat them to death with his sledgehammer. When the town discovered what George had done, they dragged him back to his shop where they tied him to a tree and drove railroad spikes into his body with his own sledgehammer, slowly killing him. Then, as a finishing touch, the sadistically racist townsfolk cut off George's hand, and fixed George's sledgehammer in its place.
  
  The tenth ghost in the Black Zodiac. This ghost is that of a muscular, heavy-set blacksmith who wields a large hammer. Any further or deeper implications are unknown.

  The Jackal
  

  Seeking treatment, Ryan committed himself to Borinwood Asylum, where he eventually went insane. He scratched at his cell's walls so violently, that his fingernails were torn completely off, making his hands claw-like. When Ryan attacked a nurse, the doctors decided to put him in a straitjacket and tightened it whenever Ryan acted out, contorting his limbs horribly. When a fire broke out at the asylum, while everyone else escaped, Ryan chose to stay behind and meet his deserved fate, and he apparently died in the fire.
  
  The eleventh ghost in the Black Zodiac. The Jackal is the ghost of a disheveled man wearing a cage on his head, which probably represents bestiality or wildness, seen as how much of a savage and of how aggressive the ghost is, as well as his depravity and sexual implications.

  The Juggernaut
  

  Horace was abandoned by his mother, almost immediately after birth, and was raised by his father. As a child, Horace grew to such a grotesque height and appearance that he was constantly ostracized and spent his childhood as an outcast. Mr. Mahoney put Horace to work at his junkyard, chopping and crushing up old cars. When Mr. Mahoney died, Horace was left alone and finally, with no one to guide him, went insane as a result. He became a serial killer, picking up hitchhikers and stranded motorists to take back to his junkyard; there, he would rip them apart with his bare hands and feed their remains to his dogs. Horace's seventh to-be victim turned out to be an undercover police officer, who had a SWAT team surround the junkyard and arrest Horace. However, Horace was able to break free of his handcuffs and killed three police officers before he was gunned down by five SWAT officers.
  
  The twelfth ghost in the Black Zodiac. This ghost is that of a tall, ugly and incredibly-strong man.

  The Broken Heart
