The Flagellant is one of the 12 heroes in Darkest Dungeon II.

Class Description

 * FRONT RANK
 * BLIGHT
 * DURABLE
 * SACRIFICIAL SUPPORT

Combat Skills
The Flagellant will always start each run with Punish, Fester, Deathless, Endure and Lash's Gift.

Pain Pain tokens are generated when the Flagellant takes damage while under the effects of '''More! MORE!'''. Both variants stack up to three times. Pain tokens can be added by any source of damage, including self-damage and damage over time. Note, however, that multiple sources of damage over time are counted together as one 'tick' for generating Pain tokens—if the Flagellant is burning, bleeding, and blighted, only one Pain token will be generated, not three.
 * Token pain heal.png Pain : Turn End: Heal 10% per token
 * Token flagellant pain heal u.png Pain + : Turn End: Heal 15% per token.

Toxic Toxic is a effect unique to the Flagellant—upon reaching 10 stress, the Flagellant cannot become Resolute nor suffer a Meltdown, but will instead become Toxic.

Trivia

 * The Flagellant is one of the eleven Heroes returning from Darkest Dungeon.
 * His predetermined name is Damian, in reference to Peter Damian, an italian monk and cardinal who's known for the introduction of self-flagellation as a method of religious discipline.
 * Despite his appearance, the Flagellant is not an undead, since Death failed to take him : his starveling body is caused by his own lack of care, to the point of his blood being rotten and toxic, while his face ended up being ripped by himself.
 * Flagellant's Signature Inn item Pain Box is a reference to Frank Herbert's novel Dune.
 * There's a placeholder image in the game files which depicts Flagellant being a Bleed-oriented hero instead of Blight.
 * The Torturer in Vestal's fourth shrine has been confirmed to be the same character as the Flagellant.
