	About Brother Nero:

Lord Satan first made himself to Brother Nero at the age of 12. The
experience was so profound that Nero has spent the last quarter of a
century in total service to Satan and the Demonic spirits.

He founded H.O.M.E. in 1992 to promote the religious worship of Satan
as a serious faith and way of life. He has also been a member of the
Temple of Set and the Ordo Templi Orientis, but Traditional / Theistic
Satanism has always been his main focus. Between the years of 1992
and 2004 H.O.M.E has had a big impact as an innovator and influenced
many other Traditional / Theistic Satanism groups. (these being The
Church of Lucifer's Triumph, Sanctuary of Satan and the Cathedral of
the black Goat mostly) H.O.M.E was the first organization to do a
Satanic religious TV program on a public Christian channel, they were
the first Traditional / Theistic Satanic organization to start a letter
correspondence with incarcerated convicts and they had an Internet site
even before the Church of Satan and many of the other Satanic
organizations on the net today.

In 2004 H.O.M.E was disbanded although many of the key members
reunited to for the Orthodox Temple of Satan. In its short existence
OTOS was the first Traditional / Theistic Satanic organization to attain
legal non-profit status making the Orthodox Temple of Satan one of the
first legally established Satanic corporations in Texas.

Despite the cession of H.O.M.E. and OTOS Brother Nero continues to
influence the more serious minded Traditional / Theistic Satanism
scene, and forces us to confront issues that the modern Satanists are
too blind to see, and the more infantile Traditional / Theistic groups are
too ignorant to take notice of.  From his pulpit Nero shares with us the
wisdom of the most illustrious and longest practicing Traditional
Satanist of today.

In recent years, brother Nero has become one of the most controversial
as well as, polarizing figures on the Internet today.  His reputation as one
of the most controversial figures in the Internet Satanic community is due
in large part to the fact that brother Nero endorses animal sacrifice as a
legitimate Satanic religious practice, for those who wish to practice it.
Brother Nero has also been one of the harshest critics of other Internet
based Satanic groups and their leaders pointing out hypocrisy where he
finds it.  As you might imagine, Nero's constant criticism of these groups
and their leaders has not made him very popular with other Satanic
groups.

Brother Nero has been a tireless defender of those who believe in the
literal existence of Satan and worship him as their God.  Brother Nero's
unwillingness to compromise his beliefs for the benefit of public
acceptance has resulted in him being labeled a fanatic by some in the
Satanic community.  If believing in Satan and standing up for him and
his people is fanatical, brother Nero gladly accepts this label as a
badge of honor, and he will gladly wear it with pride.
