The Vessel

“No Cost Too Great...”

An enigmatic wanderer, their sword cracked to its core and their cloak muddied by wear and tear. How such a being found its way to the Estate, none could really say. Some spread rumors of a far off kingdom, left in desolate ruins after it was ravaged by a great plague. Others merely think it is a byproduct of the surrounding madness near the Darkest Dungeon. Either way, a new ally in our campaign has made themselves known.

They stand ready to fight, proficient in techniques unknown to most. Most surprising of all is their proficiency in "Soul" casting, as those who have seen it would describe. Such power is, of course, limited in its capabilities, and use. Tread carefully when engaging in such powers, deliberation of its use is paramount.

The Vessel acts as an extremely dextrous opponent, dancing about the battlefield and felling any foe daring to challenge them. With each clash and clang of sword against Nail, the greater fighter proves their mettle. Such expertise can be matched by our own Heroes, creating a nigh unstoppable flurry of attacks, leaving little in its wake.
