Lore:

Samuel Hallow was born into the eerie and enigmatic cult known as the Black Vale. His early years were marked by dark rituals and whispered secrets, all under the watchful eye of his mother, an esteemed member of the cult. At thirteen, his world was shattered when he witnessed his mother being dragged into the Entity's realm during a sacrificial ceremony.

Haunted by the image of his mother being taken, Samuel vowed to serve the Black Vale with unwavering devotion, hoping to uncover the mysteries of the Entity and find a way to bring her back. His teen years and early adulthood were spent honing his skills as a ruthless hunter, tracking down sacrifices with a cold and calculating precision.

One fateful day, as he pursued a sacrifice through the forest, the black fog enveloped him. Samuel found himself in the realm of the Entity, a strange place where his deepest fears and desires collided. It was then that he understood – if he excelled in his duties, he would be rewarded, and his mother could be returned to him.

Raising his sickle, Samuel accepted his fate and he stalked forward, ready to claim his place in the fog.

Power: "Veil of Dread"

The Acolyte can invoke a spectral fog that shrouds the map, distorting the vision and senses of the survivors. Within the fog, he becomes partially invisible, making it harder for survivors to detect him. This power allows him to move swiftly and strike fear into the hearts of those he hunts.

Weapon: Sickle

The Acolyte wields a wickedly sharp sickle, a symbol of his relentless pursuit and the darkness that consumes him. The sickle’s curved blade is perfect for swift and deadly strikes, leaving deep wounds on his victims.

Perks:
  • Cult of Fear: When Survivors are in a group together while in the Terror Radius, they have a 15/20/25 chance to scream and reveal their location every 5/7/9 seconds
  • Dark Covenant: Generators repaired by survivors are cursed, causing random skill check failures and regressions.
  • Spectral Hunt: When a survivor enters a locker, The Acolyte receives a notification and can teleport to a nearby locker to ambush them.

The Acolyte approaches the downed survivor as he pulls out his sickle, He murmurs a dark incantation, and a black fog begins to swirl around them, enveloping the survivor.

The Acolyte slashes the sickle across the survivor's body, leaving deep, bleeding gashes. The fog thickens, seeping into the wounds and causing unbearable pain. As the survivor struggles, The Shroud kneels and whispers in their ear, "Your sacrifice will bring her back."
