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.
