Biography

Omen IV: The Awakening

Gene and his wife Karen adopt a baby girl for St. Francis Orphanage and name her Delia. Over the following years, Gene becomes Congressman after the political downfall of Graham Resnick.

When Delia is eight, Gene and Karen hire Jo Thueson as a nanny for Delia until she is killed. At around the same time that Jo dies, Karen, to her and Gene's shock, falls pregnant.

Throughout Karen's pregnancy she becomes paranoid and suspicious that Delia is evil. Gene initially dismisses the strange accidents and abnormalities surrounding Delia as coincidence, but later begins to become unsure.

Gene hires Lisa Roselli as a new nany for Delia, and to his surprise Delia acts sweet towards Roselli. Some time after Karen gives birth to a boy, Alexander, she shoots herself while trying to kill him and Delia; and Gene attends Karen's subsequent funeral with Delia and Alexander.
