Someone already mentioned Vaatividya's theory on Pinwheel and I actually think that is probably the most believable theory out there. At least it's the one I accept, especially because it is so damn tragic which would definitely fit right into a From game. As for Petrus I think that he is there for two reasons; to "aid" undead members of the WoW in their attempts to find the Rite of Kindling as its discovery would greatly increase the power of the church and to "dispose" of those who survive from either succeeding or failing in that quest as a means to get rid of, or to even hide the fact that members of the church are being affected by the curse. In essence he's the one who does the churches "dirty deeds".
