The Deacon

= Codex Entry = The Deacon alternates between preparing and focusing on one Daughter for her "Confession". While he is preparing, he is well protected, uses delayed actions, and moves to attack the closest Daughter. After losing enough life, he starts extracting a Confession from the furthest Daughter, rooting all other Daughters for the duration of the confession. The confession ends once he has lost enough health and releases the other daughters. If the Daughters stay too far away, the Deacon will start or end confessions on his own and punish all the Daughters.

Any human heart can hide a core of pure cruelty, a black and viscid tumor... Pushed by divine voice, the Deacon adopted The Child, but his heart was already too sour to love the poor creature. When the infant contracted the plague, the man of God locked him in his cellar, flooded and covered in clay. Disgusted by this disgraceful Chile at first, his revulsion evolved into hatred. The Deacon never embraced a moment of virtue. He worked tirelessly to spoil and defile innocence in all its forms, protected by a hypocritical faith and a carnivorous smile. Corrupted by Suffering's powers, the Deacon became a shameful pig, barely hidden under a thick layer of organic clay and sticky bile. A Pandora's box of his own sins, a gaping lock is engraved on his chest and he welds a scepter shaped like a key.
