is a wealthy and powerful industrialist,
an engineer who develops nuclear
power plants. A true believer
in nuclear energy, he plans to
make nuclear generation commonplace
around the world. He is about
to retire and turn over the running
of his corporations to his son,
Angel Caine (Simon Ward) when
he begins having disturbing dreams.

the Apocalypse as spoken of in
the Biblical book of Revelations
comes to life in a horrifying
way. After this, he begins to
notice that his son is behaving
in ways which identify him with
the Antichrist
