Revenant

"'The Revenant is a sorrowful creature; void of God and cursed with everlasting hunger. None can exist in this manner and call it comfort. As peacemakers, it is burdened upon our shoulders to end sufferings of the wretched and lay them to rest.' - Ecclesiarch Lawrence II"

Remnants of humanity, the Revenant is formed of weak-willed men. The mind and body is slowly corrupted, descending into an unbearable existence. The youthful revenant will blend with the masses of common men, deformity only within the shot pinkness of their eye or growing pallor across the cheeks. As it progresses, a Revenant will begin to develop boils and blisters swollen with blood. The Revenant is a dangerous blight upon mankind and must be killed.

To the Northern colonies, the afflicted are of higher quantity. Whispers tell of keen hunters leaving for the woods and returning days later in shambles. Their skins are mottled with clammy quality and their behavior erratic. Not long do these men live.
