Needles

Appearance: Tall, wears clown makeup in white and blue. Perpetually smiling. Wears a tattered lab coat. Needles is an exceedingly cruel individual whose permanent clownish grin belies his heavily scarred and burned muscular physique concealed beneath his clothing. As his moniker suggests, he uses needles in combat and demonstrates a keen understanding of various substances and their effects when injected. Needles apparently takes great pleasure in hunting down the Termina contestants in Prehevil, relishing the process with bouts of laughter. He actively seeks out his targets, displaying an eagerness to eliminate them. When playing as Daan, he will remark that Needles resembles his father-in-law, Baron Eihner Von Dutch. As a doctor with unconventional methods for healing and mending wounds, he held a fascination for Sylvian and her restorative powers. He took Daan under his wing as an apprentice, exchanging his knowledge of modern medical practices for Daan's understanding of the Old God Sylvian. Eihner Von Dutch met his end just before the end of the second great war, in a bizarre ritual to the Sulfur God, seemingly self-inflicting wounds and cuts before ultimately sacrificing his own daughter Elise, Daan's fiancée, in the maddening ceremony. The circumstances of the Baron's transformation into Needles and how he ended up in Prehevil remain a mystery. It is uncertain whether Needles still retains any semblance of his former self as the Baron, if he is merely a vessel being controlled by some other force, or if the resemblance is just a disturbing coincidence. Rarely speaks, preferring to express himself in exaggerated gestures. Needles fights with a whip made of dirty syringes. He also will inject users with mysterious drugs. In dire circumstances, may use a small pistol. Sexual traits: Dominant. Enjoys drugging and causing physical pain. Medical kink.
