In America, Gerard Keay is not dead. After the Catalouge of the Trapped Dead was aquired by Trevor and Julia they attempted to destroy it together with a number of other artefacts of varied origin. Turns out, setting multiple magical objects from multiple different fear powers on fire has a number of side-effects, including, but not limited to, bringing one of The Catalouge's inhabitants back from the dead.
