Occultist | Origins | Shrine Of Reflection | Darkest Dungeon 2

Knowledge - the poison of man. Since time began, it has been the folly of men such as the Ancestor. Many have sought it out, but those who discover the truth of this world's secrets have found the revelations too much to bear. The Occultist, however, has utilized that same knowledge to further his understanding of the eldritch. His pursuits in antediluvian apprehension have left his body fragile and weak, but it has made his mind sharp and his capabilities most versatile. From the back, he can channel his baleful energy to strike those hiding in the shadows or pull them forward, removing all filth from his presence. With his curses, he can expel a foe's strength or open them up for devastation. His eldritch powers can rend the souls of even the most foul of beasts leaving them motionless, but at the cost of calling the ever-looming shadows closer.
While mostly destructive, the Occultist can also use his profane powers to reconstruct flesh and heal wounds. This technique is powerful, but unpredictable as it may restore a man to perfect health or tear apart their flesh. At camp, he practices rituals and rites that can empower his allies and even bring them back from the brink of death, but many of these eccentric practices can leave both the Occultist and his companions troubled. The gate to hell is open, and this man will seal it away with the very power it gave him.
Darkest Dungeon 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the original gothic horror RPG game. Set in a new region of the world, this game takes place after the events of the first game, where the evil lurking beneath the estate has now spread and threatens to engulf the entire world. Players must lead a new group of heroes as they traverse treacherous landscapes and face unspeakable horrors, all while unraveling the twisted lore that has brought about this new era of darkness. With new mechanics, new enemies, and a new story, Darkest Dungeon 2 promises to be an intense and unforgettable journey into the depths of madness.

Fun fact: occultists cannon name Alzahred, is the name of "the mad poet" from Lovecrafts works, cited as responsible for creating the necronomicon. One of Occultists skins reflects that with the book and Cthulhu idol he's holding

Funner fact:
The name Abdul Alhazred is grammatically incorrect in Arabic. The -ul at the end of Abdul and the Al at the beginning of Alhazred are the same affix, which means repeating it is redundant. A proper rendition of that name would be Abd'Al-Hazred, which would mean "Slave/Servant of the Hazred"

Morale of his story: When you seek power it comes at a high price
