Samuel started his investigation into the mysterious death of William Gordon and found out that there is a relationship between the curse of his family and the recent incident.
Samuel found out in Williams’ note that way back in the 1200s, the Gordon line started with two brothers, Mordred and Marcus. The elder brother, Mordred, opened a dark portal that was known as the Black Mirror for his evil desires. Mordred's younger brother, Marcus, did not close the mirror. Hence, Mordred got the chance to curse his brother's descendants while he was in his dying breath.
