Flagellant

''Flagellant could refer to the Quirk of the same name. ''

The Flagellant is one of the playable Characters in Darkest Dungeon. He is exclusive to The Crimson Court DLC

Together with the Crusader, the Vestal, and the Leper, he refuses to embark on missions if the Abomination is in the party. He also refuses to party with another Flagellant for only he may bare the suffering.

Combat Skills
"The Flagellant belongs to an extremist faction within the church, and is generally regarded with a toxic mixture of fear, awe and disgust. The power he draws from martyrdom is as effective as it is unsettling - in one moment he is a fountain of healing renewal, and the next, a conduit of terrible wrath. His full potential is realized only the drink of madness... or death."

- Guild

* Can only be applied once.

Camping Skills
"Eschewing the company of others, the Flagellant turns his back to the fire, denying himself the comforts of its warmth. Instead, he whips himself mercilessly - this is a man locked in perpetual battle with his own flesh and blood."

- Survivalist

Unlike other heroes, the Flagellant only has unique camping skills, giving him a total of 4.

Equipment
"The Flagellant relishes the scars and abrasions that cover his body - drawing incomprehensible resilience from the tearing of his own flesh. His flail, a particularly cruel and merciless weapon, drips with his enemies' blood... and his own."

- Blacksmith

District Bonus
The Crimson Court DLC added Districts to the Hamlet, some of which confer passive benefits to heroes.

Trivia

 * The Flagellant shares his name with a Quirk that makes heroes only use the Penance Chamber for Stress Relief.
 * The predetermined named for the Flagellant is Damian which is most likely named after a saint of the same name who introduced flagellation to the Catholic Church.
 * The Flagellant can only use the penance hall in town for stress relief, despite no quirk forcing it.
 * The Flagellant has several unlisted, passive bonuses that increase his combat ability while at low health or high stress.
