-> "Imagine if the world as you know it... was nothing more than an illusion. What if creatures like elves, dragons, vampire, zombies and werewolves walk amongst you every day... but you never see them. This is the world I walk in. I am called Byron. And these are my chronicles."
The time? Present day, or something not too far off. The place? Portland, Oregon. The problem? More like problem''s''. The Vatican's trying to prevent a ZombieApocalypse, some idiots in England freed a bunch of fallen angels from their prison, Satan's lost his daughter and is '''not''' happy about it, and a new street drug is turning the homeless people who use it into monsters. It's up to Byron, an immortal superhuman of unknown origin, to save the day.
''The Byron Chronicles'' is an audio drama series from [[http://www.darkerprojects.com/ Darker Projects]] dealing with the troubles behind maintaining TheMasquerade. David Ault stars as moody Byron, a being with immense powers who spends his life protecting humans and keeping the peace in his chosen home of Portland. He's been around awhile, and he's not happy that things keep going wrong. Joining him in his endeavors is Christina Sparrow, a young woman who had a run-in with a monster that left her very changed, and together they explore the underworld of magic that lies just beneath the surface of reality.

* [[OnlyInItForTheMoney Only In It For The Merlot]]: Max, a demon summoned by Chris to find out what's causing the Noise.

*** -> "You think there are exchange rates in Hell? A branch of Western Union to cash a check?"
* ReligionOfEvil: Leviathan's "religion", which not only marks believers with a tattoo-like symbol but protects them from going insane. The cultists' devotion to the fallen angels in season 1 counts as well.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Chris]]
* SantaClaus: [[spoiler: Is actually a evil HumanoidAbomination!]]
* SealedEvilInACan: Comes in a variety of flavors. They inevitably escape.
** Fallen Seraphim [[spoiler: and Leviathan]] are imprisoned in a dimension called the Labyrinth [[spoiler: until Logan releases them]].

** Nicholas [[spoiler: aka SantaClaus]] is imprisoned and let out once a year [[spoiler: and forced to deliver presents to children]].
** Byron himself from time to time, courtesy of both [[spoiler: Dracula]] and the Vatican.
** Byron keeps some himself, including [[spoiler: Lilith]] and [[spoiler: a race of super zombies he created]].
* ShoutOut: Too many to count. Apparently, not only is ''The Byron Chronicles'' in the same universe as every other podcast from Darker Projects, but multiple fictional universes as well.
