The cult, headed by a mysterious figure called Docktor Kaul is using the stolen technology of Herbert West (the re-animator) combined with arcane mythos magic to build an undead army from the victims of the Great War as part of a larger plot to eliminate humanity from earth to clear it for a new hybrid species of part human, part Star Spawn of Cthulhu.
