LORE:

Ewan was born to Gwen Morgan in Cardiff within the area of Butetown, Wales. He grew up without knowing his biological father, as his mother refused to talk about him. Gwen was following bad relations after bad relations, freaks after freaks, she was struggling with her cashier job to sustain both their needs. Ewan had to handle himself most of the time, exposing oneself to the bad influences of the street, at his youngest, Ewan was already thieving with a band. He was resourceful and smart, although it is ill advised to leave a child alone in the neighborhood of Butetown. He often got caught stealing, but even after a belt whooping,  he kept on doing it and learned how to trick and outrun his pursuers.

When he was twelve he was enrolled in Cardiff blues junior rugby club, Gwen told him that she didn't want him to endanger himself again by stealing. But deep inside Ewan knew the truth, she didn’t want him to be like her past abusive boyfriends… Or potentially his dad… He dedicated himself to be the best at what he was doing, with the goal of becoming a professional and freeing her from poverty. At his twenty-three's he was admitted in the team of Cardiff Blues, the manager knowing his situation proposed a new apartment for Ewan and Gwen.

It was their last day in Butetown; they were both moving to their new place after a last goodbye to their neighborhood. They were waiting for the bus, just outside the district, for once the night was calm… His heart stopped dead when he heard a gunshot, she fell on her knees right beside him, blood gushing out of her chest, she looked at her son one last time before collapsing on the ground… Behind them was a shadowy figure holding a gun, it slowly approached Gwen’s body, Ewan backed away powerless, Gwen was gargling on the ground, trying to raise her hand toward the shooter, as if she recognized it… The figure crouched closer to her, pressing it’s gun against her head, and fired… 

Ewan ran for his life, terrified, he was shot on the left shoulder as he was fleeing. The bullet felt at first like a sting, then as it penetrated his flesh, like a blade tearing apart his muscles from the inside. Usually he would have to run from his teammates, angry shop owners or from small muggers, the latter had weapons but never really tried to shoot him, more to scare him away, he never faced someone with the intent of killing before. This would be a one time trial, either he escaped or died.The pain in his shoulder brought tears to his eyes… He let her die… his own mother… As he was running, the image of his mom’ head getting half blown by the gunshot was turning over and over in his Mind.

Another shot brought him back to reality, this time in the thigh, it was getting harder to move, his vision was starting to blur out, as he was desperately limping forward to stay out of range.He had a hard time breathing, the tip of fingers started to be cold, he could see her waiting for him at the end of a dark alley… She was crying… Desperate… lights were flashing nearby her… She was trying to say something, but he couldn’t hear her…

"Freeze!" He heard as he collapsed on the ground, exhausted, he made it ! He stumbled onto a patrol of cops, forcing his pursuer to give up the chase. Ewan lost consciousness…According to the medical staff, his survival was an actual miracle, few are those who can endure such blood loss and have enough energy to run. The authorities retrieved his mother’s corpse… The only thing she was missing was her Wedding ring. Ewan was still at the hospital when she was buried, he couldn’t help but feel responsible for what happened, she gave him everything and he didn’t even try to defend her as she was agonizing. He would never be able to forget these images of her collapsing on the ground, gagging with her own blood… And that shot through the head… Eventually the adrenaline of the competitive league helped him overcome his grief. They called him the “Fox of Cardiff''due to the sheer impossibility for anyone to catch him once he had found an opening. When he wasn’t on the field he was working as a waiter or bartender at a pub. 

One day during a match against Manchester he got acquainted with their rookie Flanker, his teammates called him "smoke", they were both considered as rising  stars amongst their team. They both exchanged teasing and feints during that match, showing off their athletic and tactical skills. Ewan ended up being the superior player. This ended up pissing off Smoke, he was starting to scrap with Ewan, they both fought, provoking a general brawl. They traded brutal blows, the big guy was tough, he knew how to throw a punch and how to take it, but Ewan was not the type to back down, even when he was on the losing side. He put all of his strength on his next punch, managing to knock down his opponent. They both ended up being ejected on a red card for fighting. Apparently Manchester team was in shock to see Smoke on the ground after a fight.

After the match was over, they eventually met again during the the third half at the pub, surprisingly the guy seemed to have regrets and apologized for his attitude, as they discussed around a beer Ewan learned that he was actually the son of a rich family, the guy grew up witnessing conjugal violence between his parents, he hated his father for being a "piece of #########". Ewan then shared how he lost his mom trying to leave Butetown, the other was in shock, he presented his condolences. When the pub closed, they both exchanged numbers, and hung out together again. 

They grew to like each other, at first Ewan thought he was kind of an #########, but despite his seemingly rugged attitude, “Smoke” seemed to be a genuine and caring person…He was also… cute…he had a more “intimate” nickname for some… ”Dave”. One day, he came to his working place, explaining that he prolonged his stay at Cardiff. They ended up at Ewan's place. It was the first time he brought someone there… They spent the whole night together… Dave called him “near instant crush”, that night, nothing would have been able to part their loving embrace. After many years, he was able to let go the guilt of his mother's death thanks to his newfound lover. On a summer day as they were walking by, Dave made a proposal, he would quit his life at Manchester to come and live with Ewan, as he said so he gave him a bracelet with initials "M&K". Ewan teared up with joy, as he gladly accepted the offer. He kissed that big dummy on his lips. This moment of joy quickly went down as he heard the cocking of a gun behind him.

A shot tore down the ambience. Dave was touched on the shoulder...A man of average size was marching towards them, gun pointed. He had grey eyes, pale skin, salt and pepper hair. In a matter of seconds he recognized him, it was he who killed his mother… It was… his father...Rage was flowing through his veins, images of Gwen’s corpse came to his mind. He leaped onto him, through sheer  hatred… He took down his father, furiously punching him. Somehow his genitor managed to slip from his grip and was fleeing, Ewan pursued him... as Dave was begging him to come back… The old man led him in a dark alley, and Ewan realized too late he was being engulfed by a thick dark fog… Everything was cold… Soundless… Depthless… Ewan was alone… He tried to call back in despair, Dave, his mother and even his father...

LORE

Ambrus Császár, was the unique son of Adelbert and Beatrix Császár. They have served the royal family for generations, and always remained loyal to their nation. Ambrus was no different. He was revered and respected, he served as a zealous commander in the Black army. He carried victories after victory, personally leading the charge with his men, in the name of his king, family and country. 

During the battle of Szászváros, he and his regiment were on the back foot, the Ottomans were outnumbering them 5 to 1, leaving Ambrus’ troops nowhere to run. The Enemy offered them the chance to surrender, as an answer Ambrus charged at them, furiously hacking and slashing into their Ranks armed with his father’s sword and the bloodied banner of his king. Despite suffering harsh blows and stabs Ambrus' loyalty and zeal didn’t falter, his injuries were minor in comparison to the casualties he inflicted. Watching their commander in action reinvigorated his men, as they joined arms and charged to his aid. They quickly managed to turn the fight to their advantage despite all odds. This battle saw the defeat of the Ottomans, it however left Ambrus with a deep wound from his upper lip to right lower eyelid. A reminder of his unyielding loyalty.

Despite war giving him an ugly scar, he managed to find love in the name of Alcina Hurmuzachi, daughter of a Moldavian Baron. She gave him a beautiful daughter, Daniela, she would be a strong baroness or court lady as they both said. She would be profiting from the labor and prestige of her beloved father. Ambrus was known for having a peculiar love for birds, especially towards Ravens. He had a whole flock at his castle; they were particularly majestic, as he and a couple of servants would take care of them. He thought of them as “a misunderstood herald of God”. 

Great and grave news came to his life, putting everything upside down. Ambrus was said to be a close member of King Mattias Corvinus’ family, a potential heir to the throne. Life would never be the same… As a consequence; he and his wife would be full members of the Hungarian royal court. Ambrus was brought to the rank of Prince, bringing him great privileges, prestiges as well as new enemies… He was quickly disregarded and attacked on his appearance, the scar on his face was the pretext of a lot of moqueries. Ambrus was seen as a disgrace, how could a vulgar soldier be related to royalty ? They almost saw him as a lowly ranked peasant.

One night, the screams of  Daniela woke Ambrus up, he grabbed his sword and rushed to protect his daughter, she was attacked by armed hooded men… As a battle hardened veteran he had no issues dealing with the aggressor. He killed them both, to only recognize the faces of two of his comrades of war… They were paid to cause harm to his lineage. Daniela was still shaking in fear, Ambrus held her in his arms, trying to reassure her as much as he could, but deep inside, he too was shaken to his core, his daughter’s life had been threatened… And the men who attempted to do so were those he trusted with his on the battlefield… they were his friends… brothers in arms… And they betrayed him at the first bribe. The following morning, he received a mysterious package, containing two severed tongues and the rings of his parents … This was too much for Ambrus, he fled the capital to return to his home, where he stayed alone with his Ravens in his garden. A single question was turning in his head, “why ?”, why would anyone be so cruel to the heir of the throne, why would they want to hurt his family ? Why did God not intervene ?

He was approached by a strange hooded man, the Ravens were almost welcoming to this stranger as if he was familiar, he calmly introduced himself, he was the leader of an organization called ”The Veil ''. He knew about the last incidents, they were the ones who discovered Ambrus’ link to the royal bloodline… he said he had salvation to offer… He promised Ambrus prestige at the court, and the power to seek out those who threatened his family. He gave him a mask of terrifying aspect as a mark of intronization. Asking if he was ready to accomplish the deeds of God… for Daniela and Alcina… Ambrus would do anything… They helped him in the construction of a hunting lodge within Somlyó woods, as a disguised outpost. In exchange he would have to partake in what they called ''The Noble Game”... 

To Alcina and Daniela, Ambrus changed for the worse; he saw plots and conspiracies everywhere, machinations from imaginary enemies trying to steal his throne. He even forcefully impregnated Alcina so she could give him a son, a true heir as he said. He was slowly but surely falling into a deep pit of paranoïa and distrust, to the point where he disinherited Daniela, thinking she would try to kill his son in the womb of Alcina, so she would be the only heir to the crown… “A waste of a legacy !”. When he wasn’t at the court, he was spending most of his time alone, at Somlyo Outpost, supposedly to take care of his ravens, as they were the only creatures he seemed to trust. The birds were moved from his old castle to the outpost, they too had changed for the worst. They were unnaturally twisted, disproportionate in size, bloodthirsty, spider-like legs were sprouting onto various parts of their body… They obeyed Ambrus’ mere gestures and orders. 

A dark aura emanated from his mere presence, the Veil granted him terrible knowledge it seems… When he was not torturing his rivals within his outpost, he partook into gruesome sacrifices and rituals, as it was apparently part of the Noble Game… The Veil believed that in order to serve God, the weak had to distract him by trying to survive through unfair odds, while a righteous and powerful executioner tested their will to survive and kill those judged unworthy. Ambrus and his Ravens were the most efficient at the role of executioner, mercilessly disemboweling anyone in his sight… Voices were whispering in his mind, he thought that God was speaking to him, and wanted him to be his herald on the throne. He would give him any means necessary to do so, such as recipes for vile concoctions and poisons, patterns of any potential rival to his ascension, the names of his most loyal servants and allies and how to keep them in the fold...

One day, Ambrus caught alarming rumors… The king's illegitimate son would become the true heir of the throne, the King was actively negotiating to legitimate his son to his subjects… He couldn’t allow that… Not so close to success… This time… Ambrus would go too far… This was his most cruel and unforgivable machination, with the help of the Veil he planned on assassinating  the king, if he couldn’t legitimize his son in time, the bastard would not be recognized by the court nor his allies… There would be only one option left to crown… Him…  Ambrus was jubilating, no one would stand in his way, he would be the greatest King Hungary has ever known, he would bring fame, grandeur, prestige to his family’s name. He would honor the Legacy of the Császárs and spread the word of God. It was too much for Alcina…She couldn’t stand this life of cruelty anymore… She denounced her crazed husband to the Court Seneschal as well as  his link to the Veil. It was unfortunately too late… When she informed the court Seneschal, the king was already announced dead… His son was left alone… Ambrus fled from Budapest and retreated to Somlyó outpost. In the end even his own wife, mother of his son, backstabbed him…

The Seneschal pursued him with a whole contingent of soldiers, both him and Alcina entered the outpost, Ambrus was waiting for them, weapon in hand, the place was littered with corpses, the cultists were all dead… Some of them bore horrifying injuries and abject mutilations… The air was thick with murder… The Seneschal proclaimed him responsible for the King’s death; he would be disinherited and executed. Alcina admitted to be the one who led them to the outpost. She said he had become a monster. She regretted him to no longer be the man she lived with before ascending to royalty. She wanted them to live as a family again, but power turned him into someone worse than those who tried to kill Daniela. 

Ambrus slowly raised his sword, and quietly retorted “a king has no family… Only heralds... ” he pulled down his sword… At that moment, a flock of Ravens appeared out of nowhere, they were huge, strong… unnatural. They were easily  massacring the now panicked regiment of soldiers, tearing their flesh from their bones, piercing their armor with their beaks, gouging their eyes from their orbits, Ambrus effortlessly grabbed the Seneschal by the throat and threw him like a ragdoll to his frenzied Ravens. As they tore the man apart, Ambrus turned to his wife. 

She backed away, begging him to not kill her, he looked down on her, behind the stern and grimm aspect of his mask, she could see his Odd eyes, what was once a hypnotic and seducing gaze has now turned into a cold blooded glare. He stabbed her in the gut, killing his own son by doing so “Now I am the single greatest Császár to ever leave ! My legacy will be Forever !” He pushed her from the blade, and then proceeded to bash open her skull with the cross-guard of his sword. His deed done, he walked away from the carnage, his head held high. No one will ever stop him. He heard a noise in a corner, he couldn’t see exactly, but he saw running away in his outpost, his shape counseled by fog. Surely a witness ! He couldn’t afford any interference, not so close to success. He will prevail! He will be King! As long as he has enemies, he shall remain a Prince… Thus he pursued the figure as a thick dark fog Engulfed him in his dread march…

Memento Mori:

1-(Murder of Császár is fully charged)

The killer stabs the survivors with his sword, then proceeds to push the victim from the weapon on the ground. Ambrus, from a theatrical gesture, orders his Ravens to gore and feast on the still living survivor's guts, laughing as his victims get disemboweled. He ends the mori by a swipe of his hand commanding his birds to leave, as they do so the survivor gives his last breath.

2-(Murder of Császár is not charged)

The killer stabs the survivors with his sword, then proceeds to push the victim from the weapon on the ground. Ambrus then grips his sword by the blade and bash opens the survivors skull with the cross-guard multiple times. Once done the Prince is shaking, nervously laughing while adjusting himself, as blood spills from the survivor's head.

MAP:

Somlyo outpost:

This “hunting lodge” was officially built as a gift from Matthias Corvinus. It was not too far from the Capital, and the woods were rich with enough prey to hunt. If Ambrus decided to, the whole family could come as well, since the mansion was big enough to host a small regiment. Decorated with the most exotic trophies and ornaments of the time. But as everything in regard to the Raven Prince, it is just a facade. The Lodge is hiding a secret outpost, and the reason why he wouldn’t bring his family to this place is so they don’t hear the screams of agony emanating from the deep house. At least his human family didn’t follow him there…

Somlyo Outpost (The French Garden):

The Garden was supposed to be a decorative part of the lodge, a place where Alcina and Daniela would be free to roam while Ambrus was hunting with the King and his courtesans. But at last… This Garden ended up being the hunting ground of foul winged creatures, the transference within the entity realm twisted and withered all life from the plant maze and tree. The corpses of the soldiers who tried to flee the murder, litters the ground. At the center of the maze, there is fountain with gold plating on it’s sculpture, instead of water crimson liquid flow within, this source is the favoured place of Somlyó’s Murder. Completing generators at specific places of the map, unlocks some water projection at various loops, making them unusable. Usually a generator spawn at that location, when coming near this place the Ravens will Caw aggressively at any survivor coming to that place, once the generator is completed, the liquid stops flowing within the fountains and the Ravens flee from the place (Achievement worthy “ Seal the Source ”).

Somlyo Outpost (The Mansion):

Grandiose and refined, it was the perfect decor to secretly torture and eliminate any rival for Ambrus. The place was beautifully decorated and almost looked nothing like a hunting lodge. But beneath the walls, portraits, trophies was where the real machination was unraveling. The Place was full of secret entrances, leading to the various cells of the outpost, such as the detention blocks, the Ravens conditioning cages but most important and disturbing of all… The torture rooms and the arena, the ground covered in blood, buckets filled with bones and rotting guts. Whenever a generator is completed at certain points of the map, they unlock certain entrances, leading to the cells of the outpost. The access to the exit gates is denied as long as the hatch is closed or the last generator is fully completed. Near the exit gate behind the main entrance, there is an achievement easter egg. You can see the Corpse of Alcina Császár. You need to open the exit gate of the main entrance and escape in order to get the achievement “Witness of a murder”. You also get an achievement for opening the chest in the torture cell and escaping “smoke and mirrors”.

_ No Mither: When you heal another survivor for the equivalent of 1 Health state, No Mither will trigger. When put on the dying state you can instantly pick yourself up. You will however suffer from the broken status effect for 100/80/60 seconds.

_Spinechill: The perks now only trigger when you’re in chase with the killer

_ Lightweight: The footsteps of the survivor now make no sounds, and the breathing noises make 50/75/100% less noises. Falling from high eight reduces your stun by 15%. the perk deactivates when you’re injured.

_Self Preservation: When someone takes a protection hit for you, you move 7% faster for 6/8/10 seconds.

_ Premonition: Allows you to see the Aura of the killer for 3 seconds when you hear his terror radius. The cooldown stays the same.

_ Boon totems: after being snuffed by a killer or overridden by a hex, boons cannot be reapplied for 60 seconds. It is indicated to survivors in the form of a status effect called “shrouded”.

Boons totem no longer block certain hex perks from spawning (hex plaything,No one escapes death, Devour-hope etc…)

Blessing an activatable hex no longer activates its effect (undying excluded).

Life is a Mascarade, everybody wears a mask, everybody plays a role.
