Political assassinations, voodoo, slavery, King Solomon and the demons of the Goetia. This epic episode goes from the Caribbean, Middle East and Eastern Europe - spanning 70 years in the life of a man as he rises from slavery, wars with Napoleon Bonaparte, and battles demons - both his own, and those from another world.  As we draw closer to the explosive ending of Season 1 of The Sulphuric Secrets, here is the definitive account of how it all started. Truth is stranger than fiction, as real-world events and people are woven into the fictional narrative of week’s episode; that culminates in a mind-blowing twist.
