Lore

He's a frontliner with a reputation for tearing the heart out of whatever he kills, a habit left over from his old job on a cleanup crew hauling monster carcasses He Awakened mid-shift; A Temple was the only guild that showed up to recruit him. Behind the mask he's entirely sane. Most teammates need time to work that out.

Point him towards fresh meat and he'll join your slaughterhouse gladly. Your recruiter gets about thirty seconds to do so.
