New Killer: The Conductor (Locomotive Driver), Kieran Blackwood
Killer’s Lore: Kieran Blackwood was once a respected conductor of a long-abandoned ghost train, Kieran met a tragic end when the train derailed, taking the lives of all its passengers. Bound to the train in death, the Conductor now seeks vengeance against those who disturb his eternal journey.
Difficulty: Intermediate
Terror Radius: 32 meters
Height: Tall
Movement Speed: 4.6 meters/second
New Map: External Express
The External Express is a deadly entity that lurks within the train tracks, known to the survivors as the Conductor. Once a respected train conductor named Kieran Blackwood, he met a tragic end during a catastrophic train accident. As the wreckage and flames consumed his body, a malevolent force intermingled with his essence, transforming him into an otherworldly being. He haunts the railway lines, seeking vengeance for the lives lost in the accident. Bound to the trains themselves, he roams the tracks relentlessly, ensuring that no one escapes his wrath. His once loyal demeanor has been twisted into a sadistic desire to punish those who dare to trespass in his domain.
Killer’s Power: Spectral Chains
The Conductor possesses the ability to summon spectral chains that extend from his hands. He can use these chains to attack survivors or interact with objects within his reach. The chains can also be used to traverse the environment, allowing the Conductor to quickly navigate the train and its surroundings.
The Conductor's spectral chains are an integral part of his power, known as "Phantom Bindings." These ethereal chains are not physical in nature but represent the Conductor's ability to manipulate the very essence of the railway lines and bind his victims to their fate.
When activated, the Conductor extends his spectral chains towards a survivor within range, ensnaring them in a grip that defies the laws of reality. These chains emit an eerie blue glow, symbolizing the otherworldly power coursing through them.
Unlike traditional chains, the Phantom Bindings do not physically restrict movement. Instead, they exert a spectral influence over the survivor, altering their perception and imposing a sense of confinement and despair. The chains create an oppressive atmosphere, making it more challenging for survivors to navigate their surroundings and escape the Conductor's clutches. (Similar to Clown's Afterpiece Tonic impairing the survivor's vision).
While ensnared by the Phantom Bindings, survivors experience a distortion of reality, with their senses playing tricks on them. The world becomes disorienting, and their movements become slower and less precise. It is as if they are trapped within a nightmarish realm governed by the Conductor's will.
