Pathologic RPG

1. #1Plot

   Keys: Plot, Story, Pathologic

   Pathologic is a story told through three characters who are mostly known by their titles: the Bachelor (Бакалавр), the Haruspex (Гаруспик), and the Changeling (Самозванка). Each of them tries to uncover the source of a strange, lethal sickness known as the "Sand Plague" that has befallen a small town. Players can play as each of them, and although there is only one storyline, each character has a different point of view that can provide the player with information and insight that they didn't have before. The ability to uncover some secrets depends on which character is being played, and the characters also interact with the other two non-chosen characters and discuss their progress throughout the game.

   The game takes place in a perpetual world over a time frame of 12 in-game days. Throughout each day, the player receives quests from non-player characters (NPCs); however, the game continues regardless of whether they are completed or not. At exactly midnight of each day, that day's quests are erased from the player's notebook. Quests are divided into main missions (one per day), which decide if a major character becomes infected, and side quests, which may grant monetary or material rewards. Completing main quests is essential to discovering the secrets of the town, as characters who would otherwise reveal information later in the game can fall ill from the Plague early.

   The player's other goal is to survive to the end of the 12 days by maintaining various resources. The game's fluctuating economy represents the harsh forces of supply and demand in an isolated, disease-ridden town. On the edge of the settlement, there is a great building named the Polyhedron (Многогранник), a geometrically impossible structure used as a fortress by children. On the opposite side lies the ominous cattle-slaughtering Abattoir, with the Termitary next to it. All districts and major buildings of the town are named after body parts and biology

   Keys: Day 1, day one

   Day 1 (Full Integrated Lore Entry)

   Dawn breaks over the Town-on-Gorkhon under tension and blood. Three figures enter the stage of events, each under vastly different circumstances, yet bound to the same catastrophe.

   Daniil Dankovsky, the Bachelor of Medicine, arrives expecting to meet Simon Kain — the man he believes may prove his theories about the suppression of death. Instead, he awakens in the Stillwater and quickly learns that Simon Kain has died under mysterious circumstances. At the Crucible, Georgiy and Victor Kain speak of an “inhuman force” responsible. Simon’s death does not resemble an ordinary murder. Shortly thereafter, Dankovsky discovers that Isidor Burakh, the Town’s revered healer and the man who summoned him here, has also died the same night. Patrolmen guard Isidor’s home, and suspicion immediately falls upon his son, Artemy. Throughout the day, Dankovsky moves between the Kains, the Olgimskys, Saburov, and Yulia Lyuricheva, assembling the first threads of a larger pattern. He begins to suspect that both Simon and Isidor may have died of something other than violence — perhaps the return of the Sand Plague.

   Simultaneously, Artemy Burakh arrives in Town under far harsher conditions. He is attacked upon stepping off the train and forced to defend himself, killing two men. The Town already believes him guilty of patricide. His name spreads as a criminal before he can speak in his own defense. In the Haruspex’s path, Artemy spends the day trying to rebuild his reputation: saving a dying man through transfusion, speaking with Big Vlad, Capella, and Vlad the Younger, and reclaiming the key to his father’s sealed house by force. Inside Isidor’s home he finds unsettling signs — rats, strange growths, and Sticky waiting in the back rooms. The house feels wrong. It feels abandoned by something more than life. By evening, Artemy confronts Dankovsky at the Stillwater. Instead of hostility, he finds a man already investigating the same conclusion: Isidor and Simon may not have been murdered by human hands at all.

   Elsewhere, Clara — the Changeling — awakens in a shallow grave in the cemetery. Whether she truly died or merely dreamed it remains ambiguous. Grace recognizes her faintly. Katerina Saburova sees something prophetic in her. Clara is taken before Alexander Saburov, where rumors already accuse her of killing Simon Kain. She insists she has a twin sister responsible for evil, while she herself heals through miraculous touch. She proves this by curing an injured man at the Willows in front of witnesses, including the Bachelor. In the Changeling’s route, she interrogates Georgiy Kain through hypnosis and extracts a confession: Simon was not killed by any ordinary human means. Something unnatural struck him down. By the end of the day, Clara has positioned herself within the Saburov household as both instrument and oracle, though whispers follow her.

   Across all routes, several constants emerge by nightfall:

   Simon Kain and Isidor Burakh are dead. The Town is unstable. Suspicion spreads faster than truth. And beneath it all, something unseen has already begun to move.

3. #3Day 2

   Keys: Day 2, day two

   Day 2

   The second day marks the first visible signs that the situation in the Town is not limited to two suspicious deaths.

   In the Bachelor’s path, Dankovsky begins receiving reports of so-called “silent houses” — homes where something is wrong but not yet publicly acknowledged. Anna Angel speaks of strange rumors, and Capella Olgimskaya directs him toward children who have been exploring abandoned buildings. Through Sticky, Dankovsky learns of infected houses, including Isidor’s own. Upon entering one, he encounters individuals already suffering from symptoms consistent with the Sand Plague. He retrieves proof and presents it to Alexander Saburov, confirming the presence of an epidemic. Saburov begins preparing emergency measures. Dankovsky attempts to arrange escape through Andrey Stamatin, but discovers the train station is effectively sealed and guarded. The Town is now functionally trapped.

   During the same day in the Haruspex’s route, Artemy meets with Big Vlad regarding his inheritance. He is directed to Aspity, who gives him the chest left by Isidor. Inside are twyre herbs, recipes, and the Brand marking him as successor among the Kin. Aspity explains how to gather twyre and points him toward Worm huts in the Steppe. Artemy begins brewing extracts in the abandoned factory once used by his father. Later, he shares these mixtures with Dankovsky at the Stillwater. The two doctors formally begin cooperating in research, though distrust remains. Andrey Stamatin also contacts Artemy, requesting Brown Twyre; Maria Kaina intervenes and persuades Artemy to convince the Stamatin brothers not to flee Town.

   In the Changeling’s route, Clara is tasked by Saburov with investigating potential sources of unrest. She questions Aspity indirectly by speaking first with Vlad the Younger and Big Vlad. Aspity refuses to speak freely unless Artemy is brought to her. Clara persuades Artemy to accompany her, then uses hypnosis to extract the truth from Aspity: she has existed only five years and has done nothing to actively summon the plague. Clara reports to Saburov that Aspity is not responsible. Meanwhile, infection begins spreading in earnest; entire districts show signs of contamination.

   By nightfall, it is clear that this is no isolated poisoning or murder plot. The plague has manifested physically within homes, and quarantine efforts are beginning.

4. #4Day 3

   Keys: Day 3, day three

   On the third day, the epidemic becomes undeniable.

   In the Bachelor’s route, Dankovsky learns that Simon Kain’s body has been stolen from the Crucible and that Rubin is missing. Georgiy fears interference with burial rites. Vlad the Younger provides Dankovsky with access to the Polyhedron to verify quarantine compliance; inside, Dankovsky meets Khan and the Dogheads, who claim the tower remains untouched by infection. Dankovsky later discovers Rubin is hiding Simon’s corpse to perform experiments. Rubin insists that extraordinary blood may hold the key to stopping the plague. However, Steppe tradition forbids cutting bodies. Dankovsky seeks official permission from Saburov but fails to secure clear authority. Attempts to find willing Butchers end in discovering them dead. Dankovsky ultimately retrieves infected blood from a cemetery corpse under dangerous circumstances and delivers it to Rubin for analysis.

   In the Haruspex’s path, Dankovsky directly asks Artemy to retrieve infected tissue, since Artemy has both surgical skill and cultural standing to do so. Artemy fights through muggers, protects Notkin at Capella’s request, and extracts infected blood from a guarded corpse at the cemetery. Upon delivering it, Dankovsky observes that the blood appears strangely free of bacteria due to rapid host death. Artemy begins understanding that the disease behaves abnormally.

   In the Changeling’s route, Clara is sent to investigate Anna Angel as a possible source of unrest. She confirms Anna’s hysteria but determines she is not the cause of the epidemic. Infection spreads visibly through districts like the Tanners. Clara continues balancing Saburov’s suspicions with her own investigation, while mysterious letters—apparently written in her own hand—begin appearing under her pillow.

   By the end of the third day, the plague is no longer rumor. It has districts under quarantine and the first organized attempts at medical response are underway.

5. #5Day 4

   Keys: Day 4, day four

   On the fourth day, the Town attempts structured containment.

   In the Bachelor’s route, Dankovsky coordinates with Big Vlad and Saburov to establish a hospital (at Lara Ravel’s Shelter), a morgue, and an isolation ward in the Cathedral. He resolves issues of locked access and water supply, retrieves necessary keys, and suppresses a surge of bandit activity by eliminating Barley’s gang. Civic order temporarily stabilizes under emergency powers.

   In the Haruspex’s path, Artemy meets Rubin in a warehouse. Rubin reveals he has been dissecting Simon Kain’s body to analyze extraordinary blood. If Artemy leaves prematurely, he risks imprisonment by authorities; remaining hidden avoids arrest. Meanwhile, Artemy may assist Notkin in retrieving weapons and deal with looters, strengthening his standing among the children and townsfolk.

   In the Changeling’s route, Clara investigates Bad Grief under Saburov’s orders, suspecting illegal corpse disposal in the river. Through manipulation and hypnosis, she discovers that Grief framed Barley for murders. She exposes the truth but determines that while Grief is a criminal, he is not the origin of the plague. Saburov’s search for a scapegoat continues unsuccessfully.

   The Town now operates under emergency measures, but the infection continues spreading across districts.

6. #6Day 5

   Keys: Day 5, day five

   On the fifth day, desperation drives the search for a cure into morally dangerous territory, and authority in the Town begins to fracture under pressure.

   In the Bachelor’s path, Dankovsky receives word from Rubin that further experimentation requires a still-living infected heart. The request forces him into direct confrontation with both the Town’s laws and its traditions. Saburov, meanwhile, has begun mass arrests under emergency powers, imprisoning large numbers of citizens, including Artemy Burakh. Dankovsky attempts to intervene but finds Saburov unyielding. In order to secure the heart Rubin demands, Dankovsky turns to the Haruspex, recognizing that only Artemy possesses the surgical legitimacy and Steppe authority to obtain such an organ. Later that evening, a corpse is discovered near Isidor’s house: the dancer Vera, recently reunited with her father at Dankovsky’s own involvement. Her heart has been removed while still warm. Artemy is absent from the scene. Dankovsky delivers the heart to Rubin, and experimentation proceeds. The implications are severe: the pursuit of a cure has already claimed innocent life.

   In the Haruspex’s route, Artemy faces three possible paths to fulfill the Bachelor’s request for an infected heart. He may kill a Herb Bride under ritual circumstances after consulting Aspity, kill a Butcher instead, or kill Willow Mellow, who had arranged to meet the Bachelor that night. Each choice alters reputation and moral standing, but all produce a viable infected heart. Artemy delivers the organ to Dankovsky, and the two analyze its properties. During this day, Artemy may also descend into the tunnels beneath Vlad the Younger’s well, discovering passages that suggest the Town’s foundation is riddled with unnatural cavities. In these depths he encounters the Rat Prophet, who speaks cryptically about the state of the Town and its sickness. The underground spaces reinforce Artemy’s growing suspicion that the plague is connected to the earth itself, not merely to human contact.

   In the Changeling’s path, Clara is tasked with investigating Stanislav Rubin, whom Saburov suspects of involvement in Isidor’s affairs. She speaks with Vlad the Younger, who warns her that Saburov’s arrests are becoming excessive and politically motivated. Clara brings Rubin food in the warehouses and learns from him that he has dissected Simon Kain’s body in pursuit of a vaccine. Rubin explains the concept of the Law more explicitly: forces beyond the Town punish those who transgress natural boundaries. He implies that the plague may not be random, but corrective. Clara negotiates legal immunity for Rubin from Georgiy Kain, securing his protection in exchange for future surrender after success. Rubin then reveals the name Shabnak-adyr — a Steppe creature blamed in legend for plague outbreaks — suggesting that the cause of the epidemic may be something older and tied to folklore rather than politics.

   Across all routes, Day 5 marks a turning point. The search for a cure demands blood sacrifice. Political authority tightens. The underground tunnels and Steppe legends begin pointing toward something beneath the Town, rather than within its walls.

7. #7Day 6

   Keys: Day 6, day six

   On the sixth day, suspicion turns toward individuals rather than districts, and the epidemic begins to intertwine with legend.

   In the Bachelor’s path, Dankovsky is instructed to investigate several women rumored to be plague carriers: Anna Angel, Eva Yan, Lara Ravel, Maria Kaina, Katerina Saburova, and Capella Olgimskaya. These accusations arise partly from hysteria and partly from the Town’s growing need to blame someone specific. As Dankovsky interviews them, he finds no consistent evidence of deliberate infection. During these investigations, he encounters a strange pale Steppe being near a contaminated district — a creature resembling the Albino of local legend. The being speaks cryptically and does not behave like an infected human. Its presence introduces the possibility that the plague is not merely biological but bound to the land and its traditions. Meanwhile, Rubin continues work toward a vaccine using the infected heart, though results remain incomplete and unstable.

   In the Haruspex’s route, Artemy receives a letter instructing him to come to the Termitary. There he is asked by the Kin to obtain the blood of a bull as part of a ritual process tied to understanding the plague. The sacrifice is conducted according to Steppe custom, reinforcing Artemy’s dual role as surgeon and ritual successor. With this blood, Artemy advances his work toward the Panacea — a true cure rather than a temporary vaccine. He also confronts increasing hostility from Town authorities and citizens alike, as his reputation fluctuates and fear spreads. Artemy’s position between the Town and the Kin grows more precarious; he is seen as both healer and threat.

   In the Changeling’s path, Clara’s reputation collapses sharply. Rumors spread that she herself is the Shabnak-adyr, the plague-bringing demon. Citizens accuse her of carrying infection wherever she goes. The atmosphere becomes openly hostile. Dankovsky summons her and conducts a blood test to determine whether she is infected. The result proves she carries no infection at all. This temporarily protects her from execution or arrest, though suspicion remains widespread. Clara continues navigating Saburov’s authority while maintaining her claim that her twin sister is responsible for wrongdoing in her name.

   By the end of Day 6, the plague is no longer treated as an impersonal disaster. It has become personalized — projected onto women, onto the Kin, onto Clara, and onto myth itself — while the search for a real cure continues under growing instability.

8. #8Day 7

   Keys: Day 7, day seven

   On the seventh day, political authority shifts dramatically with the arrival of the Inquisitor, and the first true cure emerges from the Abattoir.

   In the Bachelor’s path, Dankovsky is confronted with escalating instability. Eva Yan, increasingly distressed and convinced that her presence contributes to the Town’s corruption, takes her own life in the Cathedral in the belief that her sacrifice may purify it. Dankovsky discovers her body and must process both personal guilt and the symbolic weight of the act. Shortly afterward, Aglaya Lilich, the Inquisitor, arrives in Town with sweeping authority granted by the capital. She immediately begins auditing the actions of Saburov, the Kains, and the Olgimskys, demanding clear answers regarding quarantine failures and the status of the epidemic. Dankovsky aligns himself cautiously with her, seeing in her a rational administrative force. At the same time, tensions rise between civilian authority and the approaching Army under General Block. Dankovsky identifies that information leaks and mismanagement have worsened containment efforts, and he is forced to navigate between the Inquisitor’s demands and the Town’s fragile power structures.

   In the Haruspex’s route, Artemy is summoned into the Abattoir by the Kin. This sacred and forbidden place, closed since Isidor’s death, is reopened for him as successor. Inside, Artemy undergoes ritual trials and gains access to the living blood reservoirs beneath the structure. Using this blood in accordance with Steppe knowledge, he successfully brews the first true Panacea — a cure capable of fully eliminating infection rather than merely slowing it. He tests it successfully, confirming its effectiveness. The discovery marks a decisive breakthrough. However, distribution and political control over the Panacea quickly become points of conflict, especially as outside authority tightens its grip on the Town.

   In the Changeling’s path, Clara acquires an Executor’s uniform, allowing her to move more freely through infected districts. She begins reporting cleansed districts directly to the Inquisitor, positioning herself as a mediator between civilian authority and plague-stricken areas. Clara also continues to search for signs of her supposed twin, interpreting unexplained actions and letters as evidence of a divided self. As the Inquisitor consolidates power, Clara navigates between compliance and independence, aware that both Saburov and Aglaya could turn on her if politically convenient.

   By the end of Day 7, the Town stands under new oversight. The Inquisitor has assumed effective control, the Army looms nearby, Eva Yan is dead, and a genuine cure now exists — though whether it will be properly used remains uncertain.

9. #9Day 8

   Keys: Day 8, day eight

   On the eighth day, control over the cure becomes the central political struggle of the Town.

   In the Bachelor’s path, Dankovsky learns that although a true Panacea now exists, its distribution has been obstructed. Vlad the Younger is implicated in withholding or mismanaging the cure for political leverage. Dankovsky confronts him and begins to suspect that the plague is not simply spreading randomly but is connected to the Town’s foundations. Evidence increasingly suggests the Polyhedron may be interfering with the earth beneath it. In order to gain access to the Abattoir and further understand the source of the Panacea, Dankovsky orchestrates the exposure of Big Vlad’s complicity in concealing crucial information. Big Vlad is subsequently arrested and later executed under military authority. The Bachelor’s relationship with the ruling families fractures as he shifts focus from civic containment to structural cause.

   In the Haruspex’s route, Artemy deepens his inheritance. He reclaims the Bone Horn, symbol of his authority among the Kin, and secures full access to the Abattoir. Inside, he learns that the Panacea’s effectiveness depends on blood drawn from beneath the earth — living reservoirs tied to the Town’s body. The Kin begin to accept him fully as Isidor’s successor. Artemy also learns that the earth itself is wounded and that something embedded within it is aggravating the plague.

   In the Changeling’s path, Clara investigates the Abattoir under instruction from the Inquisitor, seeking to determine whether Artemy’s cure is legitimate. She continues pursuing signs of her twin and begins identifying which of her Bound may need to be sacrificed to avert catastrophe. Political tension increases between the Inquisitor and General Block, as civilian oversight clashes with military impatience.

10. #10Day 9

    Keys: Day 9, day nine

    On the ninth day, the Polyhedron becomes the focal point of both metaphysical and military concern.

    In the Bachelor’s path, Dankovsky survives a confrontation linked to unrest surrounding the Abattoir and is protected by Commander Block’s forces. He explores the interior of the Polyhedron more thoroughly and studies its architecture. He begins to understand that the structure is supported by a massive underground spike — a “nail” driven into the earth. The Dogheads and Khan insist the Polyhedron is pure and immune to plague. Anticipating possible bombardment by the Army, Dankovsky arms Khan and the children with rifles in an attempt to deter destruction.

    In the Haruspex’s route, Artemy is summoned by Oyun and forced to account for his actions regarding the Abattoir and the Panacea. The Kin question whether he is serving the Town or the earth. Artemy experiences growing physical and spiritual exhaustion, suggesting that his role as mediator between worlds is exacting a toll. He begins preparing for deeper ritual trials that will determine his legitimacy as Warden.

    In the Changeling’s path, Clara infiltrates the Polyhedron and speaks with the children inside, who appear detached from the suffering outside its walls. Through these encounters she gains clearer awareness of the Powers That Be — entities observing the Town from beyond its reality. The Inquisitor, increasingly distrustful of Clara, attempts to limit her influence.

11. #11Day 10

    Keys: Day 10, day ten

    On the tenth day, structural truth comes into focus.

    In the Bachelor’s path, Dankovsky obtains architectural blueprints of the Polyhedron from Peter Stamatin. The documents confirm that the tower is anchored by an immense subterranean spike penetrating deep into the earth. Dankovsky concludes that this intrusion may be poisoning the soil and destabilizing the Town’s biological equilibrium. Meanwhile, the Kain family begins exhibiting signs of metaphysical transformation, behaving as though partially detached from ordinary reality. Dankovsky’s position shifts firmly toward preserving the Polyhedron as a miracle of human achievement, even if doing so threatens the Town.

    In the Haruspex’s route, Artemy undergoes a spiritual trial at the Ragi Barrow. There he confronts visions tied to the Udurgh — the living body of the earth. He learns that the Town rests upon something ancient and that the Polyhedron is a violation driven into the earth’s flesh. His duty crystallizes: to decide whether to protect the Kin and the land or allow the miracle of the tower to stand.

    In the Changeling’s path, Clara tracks Rubin through underground tunnels and confirms that sacrifice may be required to cleanse the plague without structural destruction. She begins identifying which of her Bound — individuals tied to her fate — must be offered to complete a ritual solution.

12. #12Day 11

    Keys: Day 11, day eleven

    On the eleventh day, final trials begin.

    In the Bachelor’s path, Dankovsky fully concludes that the Polyhedron operates as a machine disrupting the natural order beneath the Town. Despite this, he remains committed to preserving it as humanity’s greatest triumph over death and limitation. Political negotiations between the Inquisitor and General Block collapse, and military bombardment becomes imminent.

    In the Haruspex’s route, Artemy enters the Abattoir for the final time and confronts Oyun directly. Oyun represents the old order of the Kin and the unresolved past of Isidor’s legacy. Artemy defeats him, completing his final trial and fully inheriting authority as Warden of the Kin. The choice now rests entirely with him.

    In the Changeling’s path, Clara prepares the ritual sacrifices of her Bound, including Oyun among them. She believes that by offering these lives, she can satisfy the Law and halt the plague without destroying either the Town or the Polyhedron.

13. #13Day 12

    Keys: Day 12, day twelve

    On the twelfth day, the Town’s fate is decided according to the healer in control.

    In the Bachelor’s path, Dankovsky enters the Polyhedron and encounters the Powers That Be directly. He learns that the Town exists as a constructed sandbox overseen by distant observers. At the final council, he argues that the Town’s earth is compromised and must be destroyed to preserve the Polyhedron. General Block orders artillery fire. The Army bombards the Town, annihilating districts while leaving the Polyhedron standing.

    In the Haruspex’s route, Artemy chooses to destroy the Polyhedron. The spike is removed from the earth, allowing the wound beneath the Town to begin healing. The Town survives without the tower, aligned again with the land and the Kin’s traditions.

    In the Changeling’s route, Clara completes her sacrificial ritual. The plague is purged without destroying either the Town or the Polyhedron. The cost is borne entirely by her Bound, whose deaths satisfy the Law and restore equilibrium.

14. #14Aglaya Lilich

    Keys: Aglaya Lilich, The Inquisitor, Stella Karstlich

    Aglaya Lilich/Pathologic < Aglaya Lilich OriginalTemplate.png This entry details content exclusive to Pathologic Classic HD. InquisitorHDmodel.png Name Aglaya Lilich (Аглая Лилич) Aglaja Lilich Nickname Inquisitor (Инквизитор) Stella Karstlich (Стелла Карстлич) (pseudonym)[1] Faction Inquisition Age ±26[2][3] Status Alive* Location The Cathedral Family Nina Kaina (younger sister)[4]† Maria Kaina (niece) Kaspar "Khan" Kain (nephew) Victor Kain (brother-in-law) Georgiy Kain (extended family) Simon Kain (extended family)† Voice Russian Voice Olga Krasko English Voice Leadie Flowers (Pathologic Classic HD) Aglaya Lilich is an Inquisitor sent from the Capital to address the epidemic.

    Description Aglaya Lilich calls herself a servant of the Law and believes the main purpose of her activities is to save the town and preserve the rule of law. According to Aglaya, the presence of miracles in the town violates natural law. She concludes that, to save the settlement, it is necessary to demolish the Polyhedron.

    Aglaya eventually admits that her desire to destroy the Polyhedron is malicious compliance, as she seeks a way of both appeasing the Powers That Be and taking revenge against them.[5][6] Aglaya thinks the Powers That Be want to get rid of her, but she also claims her motives are of ambition rather than self-preservation.[7]

    Spoiler warning: Click to reveal significant details about the nature of the Powers That Be Background Aglaya was the student of the famous Inquisitor Herman Orff.[11] In the past, Aglaya, while going by the name Stella Karstlich, met the Bachelor while attending a conference where he performed an experiment to demonstrate the results of his lab, Thanatica, and reanimated dead tissue.[1]

    Nina Kaina is her sister, and, consequently, Maria and Khan are her niece and nephew. However, it would seem that the sisters hated each other, and this hatred did not lessen after Nina's death. Aglaya and Maria are not on good terms, and Maria is scared of her, though the events that caused this rift between them are never detailed.

    The Inquisition Main article: Inquisition The Inquisition is a group of unique experts (their number has varied over the years from 19 to 52), sometimes entrusted with special tasks by the Powers That Be, as government agents. Inquisitors possess a mysterious ability to solve problems that seem to be completely unsolvable. They combine their unique techniques and broad outlook with the unlimited powers provisionally granted by the Powers That Be. While completing a task, inquisitors are bound by no law but their own. Inquisitors appear to only be called upon to perform tasks when no other solution is possible.

    Appearance Aglaya is an imposing woman with short black hair and piercing red eyes. She wears a long, blueish-grey coat that covers her from her collar to her shoes. It is buttoned from her collar to her knees, with silver buttons decorated with tipping scales. She wears grey gloves and black boots.

    Plot In all three routes, Aglaya will always arrive in town on Day 7. Her arrival is unexpected, since initially most of the townspeople assumed the authorities would send Inquisitor Kroy, Orff, or Karminsky. Aglaya's mission quickly turns to the destruction of the Polyhedron.

    Following the events of the outbreak, Aglaya returns to the Capital. There, she gives her account of the outbreak while under interrogation, likely performed by the Inquisition itself.[12]

    Bachelor Route Aglaya takes advantage of the Bachelor's trust and manipulates him into distrusting and even opposing the Powers That Be (e.g. by killing their spies). She also puts him to work that will further her goal of destroying the Polyhedron.

    The Bachelor eventually realises this and can choose to destroy the town instead; one of his motivations behind this is taking revenge on Aglaya for manipulating him.[13]

    Missing detailed information about each day's events.

    Haruspex Route Upon Aglaya's arrival, Victor Kain theorises that she seeks revenge against her older sister.[4] Artemy does not know about Foci at this point, but Victor hints that the reason why he suspects this is that the spirit of Nina is being concentrated in the Polyhedron at the time. This is ultimately untrue, as Aglaya's motivations relate to the Powers That Be instead.

    On his first meeting with Aglaya, the Haruspex tells her that it doesn't concern him whether his choices are a result of scheming by the Powers That Be, as he still chooses them himself. This declaration of freedom shakes her. Aglaya soon says she would like to keep their relationship personal rather than having him as another aide. They develop a relatively casual tone of conversation, with many instances of Aglaya hinting at being fond of the Haruspex, who can, on occasions, reciprocate with cheeky dialogue of his own. Aglaya helps him in developing the panacea and factors it into her plans, but without manipulating Artemy to any significant degree.

    To save the town, Artemy must make a grand sacrifice involving a woman who loves him, but he cannot pinpoint what is expected of him. The Bachelor comes up with a theory that Simon's soul is contained within the Polyhedron and can fulfil the required sacrifice.

    On Day 12, Aglaya confirms that she fell in love with him because he is the only man around who's free to choose his destiny and that she was the sacrifice expected of him.[14] If the Haruspex destroys the Polyhedron, Aglaya nominally fulfils her mission and is saved from the Powers That Be. She appears together with Artemy in the Termite Ending.

He is hunted by Sticky.

    Being close to it appears to harm people, as the Bachelor takes significant health damage while talking to it in proximity.

    Contents 1 Background 2 Plot 2.1 Bachelor Route 2.2 Haruspex Route 2.3 Changeling Route 3 Gallery 4 References Background The Albino is a man-like creature with skin so pale that it seems to be gleaming. It came from the Steppe, from under the ground. It turns up somewhere around the Rotten Field, between the cemetery and the Abattoir.

    After seeing the longneck monster, Sticky has been obsessed with hunting the Albino for a few years. Capella believes that the search for Albino has changed Sticky and might have turned into a mania. Sticky is positive that the Albino is the last vampire.[2]

    Although being close to the Albino causes people harm, it is not very strong and can be killed very easily. Albino possesses prophetic abilities and predicts events that are yet to come.[5]

    Grace described the Albino as supple-necked, white-faced, and almost human, which also could be attributed to a shabnak.[6] She also says that the Albino has been haunting the cemetery and even peered into the lodge's window. The Albino goes to Ragi Barrow at nightfall. Grace suggests that the creature might have been born there, but it also might be about what's buried in the barrow.

    Plot Button.png Your stuffing's coming out. This entry is written half-heartedly. It should be reworked. Reason: We want the Pathologic plot entries to feel more detailed, in-depth information about how the characters react to events, as well as providing context for quests and interactions, rather than just stating when they appear. Bachelor Route By talking to Sticky, the Bachelor finds out about "The Thing from the Steppe" – a mysterious creature, who is thought to be a shabnak. The Bachelor will only meet the Albino once during his route on Day 6 near the Abattoir.

    The Bachelor can try to talk to the Albino and decide to either kill the Albino or let it go. The Albino says that it was only searching for a body because it was hungry and tired. It asks the Bachelor to let it go and not hurt it. If the Albino dies, the Changeling will come to mourn it. Although the Bachelor can shoot the Albino and it appears to die, it is said that it cannot be completely killed.[7]

    Haruspex Route The Haruspex never meets the Albino.

    Changeling Route The Changeling will see the Albino twice during her route, on Day 5 and Day 6, at the Ragi Barrow. It can tell the Changeling more about her background and origins.

    The Albino appears to be very friendly to Changeling, claiming that it is her brother and that it loves her.[3] Changeling acknowledges their likeness, saying that Albino is indeed her: hated by everyone and all, born of some mysterious power, suffering, vulnerable.[8] The creature asks Changeling for protection from looters and arsonists while it is leaving for the Steppe.

    Sticky says that there are rumours of Albino visiting Mother Superior and whispering fairy tales in her ear, after which she would lavish it with gifts. After Albino's visit, the Termitary got boarded up.

    Something that looks like the Albino will appear every day somewhere in the town, starting from Day 6 during the Changeling Route. It appears to be leading a group of people who have a cult-like faith in the Changeling's twin. Clara must talk to it and perform a miracle to prove she is the real Clara and the real harbinger, forcing them to disperse. If she does not find them and correctly perform the miracle, the district that they were gathering in will become permanently infected.

    This is not the same creature that Clara talks to at Ragi Barrow, despite sharing the same model, as it doesn't recognise her when she talks to it.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 3 Appearance 4 Plot 4.1 Bachelor Route 4.2 Haruspex Route 4.3 Changeling Route 5 Spoken Dialogue 6 Screenshots 7 Official Art 8 Notes 9 References Description Alexander Block is the draftsman of the military reform, which improved the effectiveness of the army to the prejudice of the ruling top's interest. Some speak of him as an honest and noble man, and a true knight. Others mention his brutality and ruthlessness.

    Background Alexander Block comes from a town similar to the Town-on-Gorkhon.[2] At some point before the events of the story, Alexander ordered the death of Captain Ravel, the father of Lara Ravel, for allegedly disobeying orders.[3][4] He has been at the forefront of the southern front in the ongoing war outside of the events of Pathologic. Alexander's troops were headed to the southern front when they were sent to the town to fight the plague on the Powers That Be's orders. Being the artillery, the soldiers were likely sent to level the settlement as a transport junction and settlement, and then create an exclusion zone.

    After several days in the town, the army lost three-quarters of its men to disease and combat. The losses and dissatisfaction with the actions of Alexander lead Captain Longin, who controls the flamethrower corps, to start a mutiny and seize the long-range artillery weapon brought with the army. Though challenged with the loss of many of his remaining men, Alexander remains steadfast in his purpose of arrival: to ensure the death of the Inquisitor and eliminate the plague outbreak once and for all.

    Appearance Alexander's hair is brown, which is cut in a formal military trim. He has light coloured eyes and a wide jaw, as well as stubble. He wears a formal red uniform of the army, single-breasted and buttoned across his chest. Two rows of silver buttons line his coat, down to a black belt with a large golden buckle. He wears matching red pants and black leather boots.

    Plot Alexander Block arrives in town on Day 9 alongside the rest of the army.

    Bachelor Route On Day 9, the Bachelor will wake at 14:00 in the Town Hall, having been rescued by Alexander and the army from the Abattoir. Later, Lara Ravel asks the Bachelor for a gun to kill Alexander, with Yulia Lyuricheva and Anna Angel attempting to stop her. No matter the outcome of the Bachelor's decision, Alexander will not die. If the Bachelor assists Yulia and tells Alexander that she plans to kill him, Alexander will send soldiers to the Trammel to isolate Yulia, and to ignore the "gentle women" of the town attempting to assist Yulia, referring to Lara. He may also choose to lay blame on Anna, or give Lara a jammed gun that will not fire when she arrives. He may also speak with Alexander on matters of leaving the Polyhedron alone for now, at the request of Khan. Alexander insists that his men are willing to defend themselves even against children, but that no child will be shot by his men.

    On Day 10, the Bachelor can tell Alexander about riots in the town, which Alexander dismisses as a job more suited for the Inquisitor. Alexander will warn the Bachelor to beware the Inquisitor, as he does not believe she can be trusted and that she is attempting to orchestrate any means necessary to secure her own life. The Bachelor may also tell Alexander of a bull corpse at the Bone Stake Lot by request of Mark Immortell, which Alexander will tell Captain Longin to bring flamethrower soldiers to the Lot to burn the corpse.

    On Day 11, the Bachelor discovers Andrey Stamatin has been taken away by soldiers. When questioned, Alexander will say that he didn't order Andrey to be arrested and agrees to help the Bachelor rescue him, by directing him to the Train Station and permitting him to deal with the soldiers by any means necessary.

    On Day 12, the Bachelor will tell Alexander of his decision on what to do with the town.

    Haruspex Route On Day 9, the Haruspex receives a letter from Alexander and meets with him at the Town Hall in the morning. Alexander attempts to learn more about the work of the Haruspex, while informing him that his successes mean the Inquisitor's presence is no longer necessary, and that her trial will continue as planned. They can speak about how the creation of a cure is only enough to eliminate Aglaya Lilich, and the lack of supply is not enough to off call the army's bombardment of the town. Alexander grants the Haruspex access to the Abattoir to speak with Oyun to continue his research for the panacea.

    On Day 10, the Haruspex informs Alexander that mutineers have taken Grace for trying to protect the cemetery from being burned. Alexander tells him to find Captain Longin near the cannon, where the officers' quarters are stationed, and gives him a password to guarantee that Longin will comply.

    On Day 12, the Haruspex will tell Alexander of his decision on what to do with the town.

    Changeling Route On Day 9, the Inquisitor attempts to banish the Changeling, saying that her role is no longer needed. The Changeling will seek shelter with Alexander in the Town Hall.

    On Day 10, the Changeling asks Alexander if he arrested Stanislav Rubin, which he denies, saying that his men arrested someone trying to capture Rubin instead. She convinces Alexander to release that man. Alexander warns the Changeling that the jail is very dangerous, as there are infected inside, and she proudly states she cannot get infected.

    On Day 11, the Changeling asks Block for help in finding the Bachelor, and he tells her the Bachelor is at the Train Station trying to save Andrey Stamatin from the mutineer soldiers. Later, the Inquisitor tries to banish the Changeling again, furious that she has gone against fate to protect all three facets of the town. She seeks shelter with Alexander again, and he accepts her solution, where seven people will be chosen to save the town. After picking the Bound she will sacrifice, she returns to Alexander. The Commander tells the Changeling that he will give her whatever she needs and that he has become inspired by her actions; he insists she has become his guardian angel.

    That same day, Alexander sends her a letter asking her to find the Bachelor. When she tells him he's safe, Block will give her 5000 Coins and a Delta-Tablet.

    On Day 12, the Changeling will tell Alexander of her decision on what to do with the town.

He is in charge of the town's legal matters and criminal prosecution.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenshots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: A very tall, large man of a massive build, short black hair, rough features, and usually a mocking expression. Personality: A composed, intelligent man who'd rather listen first and then express his opinion (not always verbally). He rules the same way. As a man who was given everything from the start, he had enough willpower and intelligence not to lose it. An analyst with a good sense of humour. At first glance, it might seem strange that the ruler of the town de facto supports the Humbles, the "the Plague Party". In light of the circumstances, the rationalist Saburov began to feel insecure: the mystical origins of the events were too obvious. A falsely understood sense of responsibility got in his way: the ruler washed his hands and relied on the actions of the mystics, who should have understood what was happening better than he did.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts [1] A quiet, intelligent man who prefers to listen rather than speak; he analyses all interactions. He is an honest and stern ruler. Saburov is described as having a special kind of heroism, owing to his sense of incorruptible justice. Saburov first gained renown and respect after a large fire in the Skinners district: he broke into burning houses, armed with nothing but a gaff, and extinguished the flames. He did not personally tell anyone about the incident – it became known by accident, along with his notoriety. He believes that any criminal must be punished fully, and he does not let his own personal feelings affect his rulings or punishments.

    While he is a rationalist, he shows a strong belief in the mystic powers of his wife. He has great respect for Katerina and consults her on all important matters. He takes her prophecies very seriously and often forms opinions based on her visions.

    Background The Saburovs are said to be a long-lasting clan in the town; however, only Alexander and Katerina currently remain. Many townsfolk see them as having fallen from grace; Katerina's inability to bear children and Alexander's political unpopularity leave the Saburovs in disgrace, which motivates Alexander to seek means to improve his reputation and support his wife's visions and beliefs as a Mistress.

    At the beginning of the story, both he and Katerina happily adopt Clara, believing her to be a representation of prophecy.

    Appearance Alexander has short grey hair that he brushes back and stern grey eyes. He wears a double-breasted grey leather coat with a secondary dark grey pattern across his collar and front, with silver buttons. The coat has folded cuffs with a trim similar to his collar. He wears a purple cravat tucked into his collar, which obscures his shirt beneath. He wears black pants and matching black leather shoes.

    Portrait Quotes YuliaHDportrait.jpg "He is a husband worthy of his wife. Whatever power each one of the ruling houses possesses is predicated upon a kind of dependable amalgamation between the preternatural power wielded by the Mistress and the magisterial injunctions issued by the head of the family. However, Katerina is known to be sterile, which leaves Saburov with nothing but brute domineering. As soon as the moment is right, Saburov will attempt to seize absolute administrative power. In so doing he will compensate himself for the debilitating misery of his spouse."

    —Yulia Lyuricheva's take on him. RubinHDportrait.jpg "Alexander is a hero. When fire broke out in the Skinners, he took a pike pole into his own hands to break into burning houses, save people, and put out fire. That's just how it was. Curiously enough, he kept his incognito back then and emerged from the ordeal unrecognized; neither did he flaunt his feat later. The truth came out accidentally. That is a very typical situation; Alexander is just that—an everyday hero who often demands no credit. It's a very unique kind of heroism."

    —Rubin's take. Plot Sewbox.png This article requires a cleanup to meet Pathologic Wiki's quality standards. Reason: While the following information is complete, it could use some cleaning up. We want the Pathologic plot entries to feel more detailed, in-depth information about how the characters react to events, as well as providing context for quests and interactions, rather than just stating when they appear. Please improve this article if you can. Bachelor Route On Day 1, the Bachelor visits Alexander Saburov, as directed by the patrolmen outside Isidor Burakh's House. Saburov believes the Haruspex to be responsible for Isidor Burakh's murder, and advises the Bachelor to visit Yulia Lyuricheva to discuss possible steps the Bachelor can take.

    On Day 2, Saburov asks for proof of the outbreak. The Bachelor delivers him the key to the Burakh house, and also tells him about the infected house that Lara Ravel had intended to use for her House of the Living. These moves assist Saburov in gaining emergency powers over the town, acting as the sovereign governor until the outbreak is eliminated.

    On Day 3, the Bachelor requests permission from Saburov to perform autopsies and dissections to proceed with producing a vaccine. He is redirected to Aspity after Saburov speaks to him regarding local beliefs about cutting flesh. If the Bachelor tries to dissect a dead body before this, he will be brought to the Rod under arrest, where he will he berated by Saburov.

    On Day 4, Saburov asks for the Bachelor's assistance in dealing with the town's criminals, who have taken to looting houses in burned districts. He asks Bachelor to investigate the Warehouses, starting with Bad Grief.

    On Day 5, Bachelor attempts an appeal to Alexander to release the Haruspex, as well as individuals unfairly incarcerated for causing the plague, although he is unsuccessful. The Bachelor instead speaks to Katerina to release the Haruspex.

    On Day 6, Saburov helps identify possible carriers of the plague among the women of the town who may have entered the Cathedral the night before by suggesting the Bachelor conduct blood tests on several women in town.

    On Day 7, during a search for an Executor's costume for the Haruspex, the Bachelor will be able to speak to Saburov about acquiring an Executor mask. Saburov assigned Peter Stamatin in charge of burials and believes he should be in possession of such a mask.

    On Day 12, as Saburov is part of the Changeling's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside his wing at the Rod, with Saburov infected inside. If the player wishes for the Changeling to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must heal Alexander with a shmowder or a panacea.

    Haruspex Route Despite Saburov's vitriolic opinion of the Haruspex, his appearance throughout his route is very limited. On Day 2, the Haruspex will need to appeal to Alexander Saburov to recover the key to his family home. Saburov makes it clear he would rather arrest the Haruspex due to his wife's visions. He will nevertheless hand over the house key.

    On Day 12, as Saburov is part of the Changeling's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside his wing at the Rod, with Saburov infected inside. If the player wishes for the Changeling to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must heal Alexander with a shmowder or a panacea.

    Changeling Route Throughout the Changeling Route, he orders her to find the cause of the epidemic. He is eager to find the criminal responsible, believing that a punishment or execution can save more people if they act quickly. When the town begins a rumour that a girl resembling the Changeling is responsible for the outbreak and is a carrier, he and Katerina cast her out and leave her at the mercy of the Inquisitor.

    On Day 7, Saburov asks the Changeling to investigate the plans of the Powers That Be and why the Bachelor and the Inquisitor were sent to the town. He suspects that the settlement was doomed from the start. Upon confirming the situation with the Haruspex, the Changeling returns to Saburov to discuss the fate of the town. Saburov accepts judgements from the Inquisitor, and the Changeling can find him guilty of failing his people or innocent.

    Changeling approaches both of her parents, speaking of their sins and that, in a sacrifice, they can heal the town. Alexander does not consider himself a guilty man at the beginning of the epidemic, but accepts responsibility for destroying the town as the days go forward, as he believes: "the ruler is always responsible for the suffering of the population". Alexander is ready to answer for his actions and sacrifices himself by the end of the Changeling Route, and can be chosen for the blood sacrifice.

He is the elder twin brother of Peter Stamatin.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenhots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: Andrey has shorter hair than Peter and dresses more fashionably. Otherwise, he is a complete copy of his brother. Pose: With his left hand, he grabs his interlocutor by the collar or by their throat and moves his right hand in front of their face, as if checking their temperature.

    Personality: Exuberant, hedonistic, energetic. Fearless, greedy for pleasure, fierce, and jovial. Develops unique theories about the limits of human freedom. He doubts the veracity of any kind of premises and fundamental truths. He acknowledges no authority. Loves superlatives. If he sets his mind on something, he always carries it through. Can create unusual things, but wastes his talent lavishly. He works chaotically and unstably.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[2] A wild, fierce, and hedonistic man, but also energetic, buoyant, and jovial. Andrey acknowledges no authority and is inclined to doubt any established premise and principle. As such, he invents many peculiar doctrines on the limits of human freedom. He seems to generally enjoy violence and fighting, even challenging the Haruspex to a "contest of life-taking". However, he hates it when someone "dares attack a woman", which is one reason for his fights.[3]

    He is consistent in any situation. He is able to build many unusual projects, yet diffuses his talents by working chaotically and unstably. Andrey concedes to Peter in terms of creative talent, though he is far better with practical matters than his twin. Andrey cares for his brother above anyone else, but also maintains a close romantic relationship with Eva Yan and is protective of the dancers who work in his pub, and greatly admires Maria Kaina.[4]

    Background Well-known architects from the Capital, both Stamatin brothers, have designed famous buildings across the country. Andrey and his brother were brought to the town by Nina Kaina ten years before the events of the game and have lived there since. Together, they created the Polyhedron, among other constructions.

    Andrey specifically states that he has been sentenced to death in four countries for his architectural works. Though he and Peter have worked both separately and collaboratively, Andrey says he is "usually the one to take the beating".[5]

    Either or both Stamatins are known to have worked on:

    The Downgate The Alley of Heroes ensemble The Other Stairway Round The House House The Cold Hall Stairways to Heaven The Polyhedron It is unclear to what extent which brother was involved with which projects, but Andrey claims his death sentences came in response to his creation of The Downgate, the Alley of Heroes ensemble, The Other Stairway Round, and House House. Both twins collaborated on Cold Hall and on the buildings in the town. The stairways are Peter's work.

    The first dialogue between Andrey and Bachelor reveals that they knew each other when they were both students of Health Science, which Andrey presumably left to pursue architecture, and that they were involved in a bar fight together, apparently on the defending side.[6]

    Appearance Andrey has short black hair, dark eyes, and patchy facial hair across his jaw. He wears a white shirt under a corduroy jacket with a floral kerchief hanging out of his left pocket. He has several silver rings on his right hand. He wears blue and white striped pants and white wing-tip shoes with a spike at the heel.

    Portrait Quotes MariaHDportrait.jpg "I am quite fond of Andrey. The twins are the two sides of a single whole, but Andrey has the capability to execute Peter's fantasies and designs. He is resolute enough not only to admit the possibility of the impossible, but also to implement it through persistent creative work. My uncle is quite capable of the former too, but the latter...! A personality like Andrey's deserves nothing but admiration..."

    —Maria's take on him. YoungvladHDportrait.jpg "Without Andrey's boldness, Peter's vivid imagination would have only existed on paper. It's a shame that the duo is in decline right now, really. Peter is a habitual drinker and Andrey wastes his life on debauchery and ruthless feasts. But dormant periods are common among creative people; they emerge from them carrying the prey of new discoveries in their teeth..."

    —Vlad the Younger's take. Plot Bachelor Route The Bachelor can meet with Andrey on Day 1 by visiting his pub, the Factus Est. They share reminiscences about their college days, with Andrey proudly declaring he has since moved on and created fantastic architectural miracles with the assistance of his brother.

    The following day, Eva Yan asks the Bachelor to convince the brothers to escape the coming epidemic with her. Andrey agrees, but only if Peter can be convinced. However, the plan falls through when the Bachelor discovers the train service is discontinued.

    On Day 7, after discovering that Eva Yan is missing and receiving a message via Ayan from Andrey, the Bachelor will look for him at his pub. However, Andrey will not be there, and instead, two of the pub's workers direct the Bachelor to the marshes. There, Andrey will be confronting several Worms, accusing them of kidnapping Eva. Both he and the Bachelor come to realise that Eva has committed suicide, throwing herself from the Cathedral. Andrey laments that Eva was always "his woman", free to live her life, but stayed important to him.

    On Day 10, the Bachelor searches for Peter Stamatin, but finds that Peter has disappeared from his home, and the place is full of army soldiers. He learns that Peter was not arrested and visits Andrey at his pub in order to find Peter. Andrey will tell the Bachelor that Peter went to look for something near a Stairway to Heaven located in the Chine, while also declaring that he will do whatever he can to protect his brother from the army and the governor.

    On Day 11, the Bachelor goes to Factus Est to look for Andrey to obtain more blueprints of the Polyhedron. However, Andrey is not present; a distressed dancer tells him that Andrey was arrested by the army and is sentenced to execution. The Bachelor attends the execution spot and deals with the soldiers; he will return to the pub to find Andrey safe in his usual place, where he is thankful for the Bachelor's actions. He gives him his blueprints for the Polyhedron.

    The following day, as Maria Kaina begins her ascension as the new Scarlet Mistress, the Bachelor speaks with Andrey in his pub, where he will insistently declare that Maria will lead the town to a better place, having finally realised the sought-after Utopia.

    Haruspex Route Andrey has a limited appearance in the Haruspex Route. When meeting him as the Haruspex for the first time on Day 2, Andrey Stamatin and his brother will be in his pub, the Factus Est. His first conversation with the Haruspex will be as friendly as Andrey can be: he threatens him in passing, only for the Haruspex to boldly state he could beat the life out of Andrey if he wanted to. After a moment of shock and consideration, Andrey will change the subject by proposing a business opportunity: he will trade him weapons and medicine for herbs and twyre. On that day, he will also ask the Haruspex for 10 sprigs of brown twyre in exchange for 4000 Coins and information about the location of a store that is buying items at a premium.

    On Day 12, as Andrey Stamatin is one of the Bachelor's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside the Factus Est with Andrey infected inside. If the player wishes for the Bachelor to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Andrey Stamatin a shmowder or a panacea to cure him.

    Changeling Route On Day 2, while completing a request for Vlad the Younger, the Changeling will be directed to speak to Andrey Stamatin about the rumours that the Haruspex is capable of brewing medicinal tinctures. Andrey will confirm the efficacy of the Haruspex's tinctures, and also propose a trade agreement with the Changeling: if she brings him twyre, he will create a medicinal extract for her to use.

    Several days later, Katerina Saburova asks the Changeling to convert the Stamatin siblings from the "heresy of the Utopians" to better suit the town's future. As Peter Stamatin will only entertain Katerina's request if his brother does, the Changeling visits Andrey at his pub, the Factus Est. During her conversation with him, he grows increasingly hostile, furious that she at all implies that both he and his brother need some sort of "salvation", and criticises her belief in God. He sends her away, demanding she never show her face to him again.

    On Day 11, the Inquisitor asks the Changeling to deliver some documents to the Bachelor. While looking for the Bachelor, the Changeling overhears that Andrey has been arrested by mutinous troops, and the Bachelor has gone to free him. If the Changeling goes to Andrey Stamatin's pub, she will find that Andrey is indeed missing and the pub is crowded with army soldiers. She questions a soldier to discover that Andrey had been taken to the cannon at the Train Station, in front of a firing squad. When the Changeling arrives at the Train Station, she will only find the mutinous soldiers there and two other soldiers hidden behind rocks. Once she heals the injured soldier and the mutineers are dealt with, she learns that Andrey and the Bachelor have both managed to escape, and she will find them at Stamatin's Loft alongside Peter. The Changeling questions Andrey about the Polyhedron, and he apparently disagrees with the Bachelor's conclusions. Andrey says the Polyhedron is not a chimaera, and that it was made for people, it is needed by people, and would have no meaning without people.

    On Day 12, as Andrey Stamatin is one of the Bachelor's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside the Factus Est with Andrey infected inside. If the player wishes for the Bachelor to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Andrey Stamatin a shmowder or a panacea to cure him.

She claims to be a talented singer.

Her eyes are golden, light, and bright. She has an agile neck. She wears a fine gold chain and a gold pendant with the letter "Tau" engraved on it. She has a habit of biting her lips. Doesn't use makeup. She doesn't wipe tears off her eyes or blood from her lips; instead, she lets them dry on her skin. Pose: Like sister Alyonushka from Vasnetsov's painting.[2]

    Personality: Talented and dazzlingly beautiful. She has a rich voice. Those who weren't exasperated by her would worship her, perhaps undeservedly. All her virtues considered (such as commitment and fantastic work efficiency), she too persistently demands admiration for these qualities, which reduces their magnificence to nought. She is truly an angel, but one from the Old Testament: prideful and intoxicated in the awareness of her omnipotence. At the same time, Anna isn't wealthy. This does not allow her to shine like Maria or Victoria and compete for influence over the "feudal lords". The paradox of "well-earned pride" leads her to a tragic situation. After the plague begins, she is accused of letting the disease in through the mirror. The accusation is wild, but all the more plausible (and this feeling was aggravated by Anna fundamentally refusing to explain herself). She will likely die because of this, persecuted by Olgimsky.

    She perceives the town's beauty and wealth intertwined with her personal beauty as a tragedy. Subconsciously, she considers the epidemic to be an act of restoring justice for everything that happened to her.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] Anna is a singer; however, no one has ever heard her sing. Rumor has it, Anna's past is closely linked with a terrible caravan called the Ace of Diamonds Caravan. However, many believe that this rumour is too obvious and that she must be covering some other secret.[3]

    She does not trust anyone, considering almost everyone as a threat. She especially has a distrust of children, calling them "the cause of all ills". She sees almost everyone as a threat.[4]

    Anna is currently 18 years old when the game takes place and because The First Outbreak was 5 years ago, she must have been 13 years old when it started, give or take.

    Background The Caravan Main article: Ace of Diamonds Caravan Spoiler warning: Click to reveal significant details As a child, Anna was born as she described: “ugly and mute” and nobody would be friends with her. She ended up recruited by The Ace of Diamonds Caravan as a young girl, thinking it would turn her into a beautiful singer.[5] The caravan was known for trafficking children and transforming them into gymnasts, jugglers, sex workers, singers, acrobats or circus freaks. The Caravan had magical abilities in their blood, or so they claimed to have- [6] like the ability to alter people’s appearances or take aspects from other people and put it on someone else. [7] In the end, they were unsuccessful at either turning Anna either beautiful or a talented singer.[8] Anna in the end was meant to be made into a ‘figurine’ ; the younger ones were made to be swapped with brand new kids, like changelings. Meanwhile the older ones were made to work as a sex workers, it’s unclear which one she would have ended up as if this happened.[9] The caravan was then attacked near Orv and destroyed by The Powers That Be, with only two survivors. The first of which being Anna, the other being a much older performer named Var who managed to save Anna and himself,[10] but had his back broken with an iron bar during the process, leaving him permanently disabled.[11]

    Despite her time there, she has never actually kidnapped a child herself.[12] The rumors that come with being a former member however are bad enough that she hides any involvement she did have during her time there. It seems a good portion of the town has found out regardless, even some powerful people who want her dead because of it.

    Significant details end here. The Willows Main article: Willows Spoiler warning: Click to reveal significant details After escaping from The massacre of the Caravan, both Anna Angel and Var found safe haven in The Town. With Anna being given shelter by a family living in a house called The Willows, whose political views had them exiled to the settlement in the steppe. After telling them that she was also persecuted by The Powers That Be, they took her in.[13] A few years later while she was thirteen, Anna Angel was jealous of her step-sister, Willow Mellow for her beautiful appearance and singing voice that she always wanted but never could have, even after all her time in The Caravan. She managed to steal her hair, singing voice and body from her using the magical techniques from the caravan,[14] even she was unaware how she was capable of doing it.[15] Shortly afterwards The First Outbreak began.[16]

    All of the family members of The Willows when The First Outbreak began died mysteriously, with the exception of the adopted Anna Angel. Their deaths were ruled by Isidor Burakh to be because of the plague,[17] but the plague never left The Crude Spawl back then.[18] Moreover, Willow Meadow’s body was in a tightly locked coffin,[19] with Grace commenting that the coffin itself was suspiciously light,[20] with some going as far to say she simply vanished.[21]

    In reality, Var came over to The Willows and kidnapped Willow Mellow, who is now in Anna’s old body, adopting her as his daughter, who he seems to accept in Anna’s place anyways.[22] It is highly likely that the death of The Willow Family was his doing, with Isidor covering it up both their deaths and Willow's kidnapping for his organ vendor,[23] especially considering the deaths were ruled to be caused by plague, despite the outbreak never reaching that part of town. In the end Anna herself was unaware of what really happened, being told by Isidor that they died due to the plague shortly after stealing Willow’s appearance, Anna believed that she was the one responsible for the death of her family and both the original and second outbreak for her actions.[24]

    Significant details end here. Before The Second Outbreak Spoiler warning: Click to reveal significant details Anna learns of Willow Mellow being adopted as Var's daughter before the games events transpire and that she's been stolen by him,[25] but has either not realized that the rest of her adopted family was killed by Var, or she has internalized that it was her fault so deeply she still believes the outbreak was caused by her.[26] Anna personally blames Var over her stealing Willow Mellow's appearance instead of herself.[27]

    Significant details end here. Appearance Anna has short blonde hair and dark brown eyes. She wears light pink makeup and has thin eyebrows. She wears a grey and red underbust corset over a grey and white dress. Over the bust, the dress is white and closes in front with clasps, and the sleeves are long and grey with red trim. The ends of the sleeves are turned up. The white skirt of the dress is flanked by grey and brown panels with one brass button on either side near the edge, and there is a vertical red stripe on the far side of each panel. She wears black stockings beneath grey thigh-high boots with red trim around the tops, ankles, and soles. She wears a spiderweb collar as a separate piece: the top is turned up and gold, and the bottom is black with red trim. It closes in the middle with a single brass button.

    In the beta of Pathologic, Anna wore a sleeveless red dress that wrapped around her shoulders with matching arm-length gloves and red heels. In another development screenshot, she wore her current outfit with a tied bun around her hair, which seemed much darker.

    Portrait Quotes PeterHDportrait.jpg "The poor thing has lost her voice. I sympathize with her because she keeps her chin up, and I hate whiners. I'm thoroughly convinced that she's paying the price for someone else's sin; a haunting visitor eager to rip out her soul is coming after her any day now. At least that's what she thinks. A lesser person wouldn't have managed to endure such torture."

    —Peter Stamatin's take on her. YuliaHDportrait.jpg "Anna affects to be suffering, but her hypocrisy is all too easy to see through. If she was genuinely wanted—for her involvement with the February Riots, or that Caravan of kidnappers—she would have been found years ago. She is able to trick her destiny for now, but her luck will run dry soon enough. The Ace of Diamonds Caravan has left a ghastly imprint on her, the way it did with everything it was linked to... yet the nature of the link between the caravan and Anna remains a mystery."

    —Yulia Lyuricheva's take. Plot Button.png Your stuffing's coming out. This entry is written half-heartedly. It should be reworked. Reason: This section of the wiki has yet to be updated with all the new information that has come from the most recent revision and understanding of the character. Missing certain details, events and references/citations needed down the line. Bachelor Route On Day 1, Yulia Lyuricheva will tell the Bachelor that there is something amiss at the Willows. Upon arriving, he finds a corpse on Anna's floor; she insists that she had nothing to do with the man, and that he is one of the individuals that the Ripper murdered. She asks him to help dispose of the body. After assisting her, Anna rewards him with several pieces of jewellery and some money.

    On Day 2, while in search of the "Silent House", the Bachelor may ask Anna for aid. Having heard children speaking of the house, Anna Angel will direct him to Capella to learn more.

    On Day 4, Anna is tasked by Vlad the Younger to test several medications. The Bachelor may choose to test the medication himself and take the collection of pills from her.

    The following day, the Bachelor will receive a letter from Anna, who asks him to meet her in the Willows. Upon arrival, Anna will ask him for aid in blackmailing Var, one of her previous partners in the Ace of Diamonds Caravan, as he once promised her money but did not deliver on his promise. He later returns with more information about Var and questions Anna about the whereabouts of Willow Mellow, Var's adopted daughter. She behaves flippantly towards him, claiming that she only knows Willow Mellow as a dancer.

    On Day 6, the Bachelor discovers that the quarantine he placed on the Cathedral was broken by a mysterious woman, and several hundred people are dead. As Anna Angel is one of the suspects, the Bachelor requests some of her blood for a test. Despite putting on a performative and overly dramatic reaction to having her blood drawn, Anna cooperates. She is ultimately innocent of the quarantine breach.

    The following day, while investigating Vlad the Younger's claims that he sold panacea to individuals, the Bachelor asks Anna about where she received her bottle of the cure. She claims that Vlad the Younger sold it to her at a "fair price".

    On Day 9, Lara Ravel will ask the Bachelor for a double barrelled pistol. While Yulia requests that the Bachelor not fulfil Lara's request, Anna encourages him to hand her a damaged pistol that she owns instead. If the Bachelor agrees and takes her weapon to Lara, Anna will give him her phial of panacea.

    On Day 12, so long as she did not already fall ill and perish, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of the Willows with Anna being infected inside. If the player wishes for the Changeling to attend the Cathedral meeting, the Bachelor must give Anna either a shmowder or a panacea to cure her.

    Haruspex Route Anna makes a scarce appearance during the Haruspex Route.

    On Day 5, she will send the Haruspex a letter to meet her at her house. She will request that he kill Willow Mellow. Depending on whether he accepts her task, Anna will give him some money.

    On Day 12, so long as she did not already fall ill and perish, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of the Willows with Anna being infected inside. If the player wishes for the Changeling to attend the Cathedral meeting, the Haruspex must give Anna either a shmowder or a panacea to cure her.

    Changeling Route On Day 1, the man wounded by the Haruspex can be found at the Willows, alongside the Bachelor. A crowd has gathered in the corner of the mansion and may function as witnesses for the Changeling's healing powers. While at the Willows, the Changeling may speak to Anna, who will ask her to discover what side the Haruspex is on, the Soul-and-a-Halves or the thieves. After finding the answer, the Changeling returns to the Willows for a reward.

    On Day 2, Vlad the Younger will ask the Changeling to confiscate Anna Angel's medicine stock. Anna Angel will tell the Changeling about the Haruspex's brewing and tincture-making abilities, which the Changeling can investigate and return to the Willows later to take Anna's medicine.

    On Day 3, Alexander Saburov will ask the Changeling to investigate if Anna is responsible for the outbreak of the Sand Plague. Anna will tell the Changeling she had nothing to do with it, and then she says she's being blackmailed. To get Anna to cooperate, she ventures across the river to the Olgimskys' homestead and speaks with Capella. Capella is initially furious that Anna would accuse her father of having nothing better to do than threaten her, but deduces that it may be Khan, another child in town, who is threatening her. With her hypnotic powers, the Changeling questions Anna if she is responsible for causing the outbreak. Anna confesses to her activities in the Ace of Diamonds Caravan and her actions since then, and agonises over what she has done. If the Changeling tells Saburov that Anna Angel is guilty of committing a crime, Anna will become infected at midnight, and an Executor will be found standing in front of the Willows every day until her death, unless she is cured with a shmowder or panacea.

    On Day 11, as one of the Changeling's Bound, Anna Angel may be chosen to be spoken to concerning the main quest. She will be asked if she is ready to give her life to cure the town. Anna will ask if she will be remembered as a dancer, and not as a terrible person.

Army promo.jpg Name Army (Армия) Fourth Army (Четвертая армия) Age Adults Location The Town The army is a military structure in the universe of Pathologic; the force sent by the Powers That Be to the town to combat the Sand Plague and its sources of infection. The unit dispatched to the settlement comprises numerous riflemen and several flamethrower corps. The army is also often called the 4th Division, which consists of several platoons and artillery and is led by Commander Block. Shortly after arriving in town, the army establishes its headquarters in the Town Hall.

    Other known members of the army are Captain Longin, Captain Ravel, General Shoin, the Bachelor's father,[1] and, formerly, Stanislav Rubin (only in Pathologic).

    Contents 1 Description 2 Plot 3 The War 4 Relationship With The Inquisition 5 Gallery 6 Official Art 7 References Description Alexander Block's troops were headed to the southern front when they were flung to the town to fight the plague on the Powers That Be's orders. The soldiers were likely deployed as artillery to level the town as a transport junction and settlement, and then to create an exclusion zone. The forces brought with them a train carrying a new long-range cannon, which had been transported to the front via the north-western railroad. This cannon was located on the railroad span about thirty kilometres away from the town.

    It's speculated that the Powers That Be chose General Block and his soldiers for this mission to take revenge on the General. Block has been an inconvenience to the Supreme Command for starting a reform of the armed forces, striving to make perpetual warfare a thing of the past, and planning to stop the construction of weapons of mass destruction, such as the cannon that was brought to bombard the town.[2]

    In the early days of the army's stay in town, they suffered the loss of three-quarters of their men – a total of six hundred – to disease and combat. The dissatisfaction with General Block's leadership led Captain Longin, who controls the 15th Company, the flamethrower corps, and the 42nd infantry battalion, to start a mutiny and seize the weapons. In response, Alexander Block ordered every soldier who left his post to be subject to a quick trial and immediate punishment.[3]

    Plot Pathologic OriginalTemplate.png This entry details content exclusive to Pathologic Classic HD. After the arrival, the army soldiers shot almost all the dogs of the Soul-and-a-Halves, leaving the kids mourning the deaths of their friends.

    The bull at the Bone Stake Lot is burned by the mutineer soldiers, acting on the instructions issued by Captain Longin, who, in his own stead, acted on Bachelor Dankovsky's advice. Some time later, the revolters get into a fight with the townsfolk, the fight ending with fifteen soldiers killed and the local authorities sentencing the people to be executed at the hands of the firing squad.

    Andrey Stamatin gets captured by the mutineers after trying to protect his brother, Peter Stamatin, and killing an army officer in a fight. It's up to the Bachelor to rescue the architect from being executed at the railway dead end.

    Grace is seized by the flamethrower-bearing corpsmen for forbidding them to burn the bodies.

    On Day 12, Alexander Block offers the Changeling to come with him and his soldiers to take power in the country.

Everything about her is uncertain, even her name. Her eyes change colour, like a newborn baby's: moss green, dark grey, brown. Her facial expressions are calm, yet her face subtly changes if you keep your eyes locked on it, too. Her lips are pallid, and her eyes are usually lowered. Her beautiful ears are also small and delicate, with a narrow lobe. Pose: Seated with her knees together, hands resting on her hips with the palms down.

    Personality: A mysterious creature. No one knows how Aspity appeared in town. Most people are inclined to believe that she came from the Steppe and that she is not a human, but a Steppe spirit created by the Steppe to fulfil some ulterior goal which mere mortals cannot comprehend. Aspity behaves unusually: she lurks and leads a nocturnal lifestyle, wears God knows what: sometimes she dresses decently, other times she covers herself in rags. She drinks a lot of milk. She has a strange way of talking: she acts as someone who is completely absorbed in their objective and only rarely remembers that the outside world exists. She can wake up in the middle of the street, grab a random passerby by the button of their coat, and, while acting all buddy-buddy, demand they explain what kind of spices are preferred by the local pork butchers at this particular season. Saburova gave Aspity a warm welcome and found her shelter. In return, Aspity asked with the most innocent look why there was still no Saburova Tomb in the cemetery and how soon it was going to be built. She doesn't reciprocate anyone's attempts to befriend her; she ignores any questions as if she does not hear. If one repeats their question, she still manages to miss the point. Despite such antics, she is not considered blessed in the town – something keeps people from such a conclusion.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] She is sardonic, snide, fears no one, and seems to hate almost all people.

    She calls herself "Sahba-ötün", the Kin call her "Saba Usp'tae", and the locals quickly corrupted that name to "Aspity".[2] She describes herself as a spirit created by the Earth to fulfil the will of the Law: to destroy "the accursed Utopia" which should not exist.[3] She describes herself as a spirit of revenge and the subtle dread of changing times.

    Background She is often called an evil spirit and a product of the Earth, a mysterious creature. No one knows where she came from, only that she appeared during the First Outbreak.

    Appearance Aspity has short black hair, green eyes, and a dour look on her face. She wears a large brown robe that is quite similar to a burlap sack, with a large hood that she does not pull up. Her hands are gnarled and thin. It is unclear if Aspity wears shoes or not.

    Portrait Quotes KaterinaHDportrait.jpg "However odd, Aspity is a good person. She talks about death all the time. She asked me once why there is no Saburova Tomb at the Stone Yard cape and when it was about to appear—and she looked so innocent! She respects me as a Mistress, and that is something I cannot simply brush aside, especially since my followers abandon and betray me with each passing day..."

    —Katerina Saburova's take on her. StickyHDportrait.jpg "Such a mysterious creature! No one knows how she came to be in the town. Unlike others, she's not in danger because she's immortal like Simon. They also say that after Simon had cast off all that was evil in his heart, the Steppe provided bones for her body, and that's how Aspity was born!"

However smart and virtuous, the people caught up in these destructive events have repeatedly come to the conclusion that it's no use trying to fight these circumstances; the best you can do is bite the bullet and cope with your losses. This is the story of a person who has managed to work a miracle and defeat a seemingly unvanquishable foe.

    „

    — Character selection screen Dankovsky is a young and dashing Bachelor of Medicine from the Capital with a brilliant and determined mind, but also someone who carries with his persona a considerable notion of self-importance. He often recites Latin quotes.

    Dankovsky has a strong sense of justice and uses logic and knowledge to accomplish his goals. His way of thinking often clashes with the more traditional ways of the Steppe, which brings out in him a temper and an impatience when dealing with others. He is good-natured and cares about the townsfolk, but he still shows a friendlier disposition to those who share his analytical and sceptical mind.

    Dankovsky is an adherent of logic and knowledge. He relies upon cold reason, not letting superstitions and the incompetence of others interfere with his work.

    Background “ Daniil Dankovsky, a Bachelor of Medicine, was brought here by circumstances most unfortunate. Dankovsky's lifework, his theory challenging the existing notions of human mortality, is being harshly persecuted by the Powers That Be. Suddenly, a letter arrives from a colleague, suggesting that there is previously undiscovered evidence which may support Dankovsky's claims. There is a settlement, the letter says, ruled by an extraordinary man who may well be seen as objective proof of Dankovsky's daring hypothesis. Grasping at straws of hope, Dankovsky decides to follow what he believes to be a sign of divine providence. Without further ado, he sets off for the settlement.

    Late at night, the Bachelor arrives in the Town. As he seeks room and board, he gets to know a girl called Eva Yan and stays at her place till dawn.

    „

    — The Invisible Enemy After earning a degree in Medicine, Dankovsky founded the infamous laboratory Thanatica, where he and a close circle of his associates researched death itself and possible ways to cure it. It is mentioned that in his past, he once met Aglaya Lilich during a presentation where he reanimated dead tissue, and briefly attended the same university as Andrey Stamatin.[2][3]

    From his colleague and correspondent, Isidor Burakh, Dankovsky learns about a 157-year-old man named Simon Kain, who seems to have achieved immortality.[4] Dankovsky makes his way to the Town-on-Gorkhon to meet the old man and verify his age. He hopes that in doing so, he can save his laboratory from interference from the Powers That Be. He arrives at the settlement by train and stays at the Stillwater, Eva Yan's house.

    As a young child, Dankovsky wanted to become a military man, and his parents believed he would become a great conqueror someday. This was somewhere around the end of the latest war.[5] In a conversation with the Inquisitor, he can further elaborate that his father was an officer, who only abandoned the hopes of making a soldier out of him after he had enrolled in the university.[6]

    Appearance The Bachelor has short black hair kept trimmed above his ears, dark eyes, thick eyebrows, and a short stubble on his chin. He wears a black snakeskin coat, layered with what seems to be another maroon-coloured coat beneath, though it may be the lining of the snakeskin coat. He wears a black shirt beneath, with a brown necktie. He wears black pants and large leather boots. He is always wearing black leather gloves and carrying a black travel bag, usually referred to as a carpetbag.

    Gameplay Abilities The Bachelor carries the plaguefinder, a special device which allows him to detect contagious clouds of the plague at a great distance to avoid them. He also starts the game with a pair of medical gloves and a scalpel, but may use other weapons as he chooses. The plaguefinder device may be upgraded using lenses.

    Unlike the other playable characters, the Bachelor may not participate in rat races, gather herbs, or trade with Worms. However, the Bachelor is still able to fight in the Circle of Suok for rewards.

    Plot Bachelor Route Main article: Bachelor Route The initial objective of the Bachelor is to save Thanatica and to uncover the secret of immortality. To do this, he arrives in the town on the behest of Isidor Burakh to meet Simon Kain, a man who appears to be immortal. Unfortunately, Simon Kain died due to mysterious circumstances shortly before his arrival. Many believe that Simon was murdered, but this is later uncovered to be false, since he and Isidor Burakh both died from an unknown disease. Now placed into a town with any hope of leaving vanquished, he seeks to defeat the plague and save the town. The Bachelor's goal then becomes to preserve the Polyhedron and those associated with it.

    Haruspex Route As an outsider, the Bachelor is unable to acquire the organic tissues he requires to determine the nature and origin of the outbreak. Instead, he relies on the Haruspex's aid to not only bypass the town's peculiar superstitions but also to peer into those places he is forbidden from, such as the Abattoir.

    On Day 1, the Haruspex is initially advised to avoid the Bachelor, who is angered by the deaths of Simon and Isidor. However, by the time they meet at 18:00, he has come to accept the Haruspex's innocence. By this point, he has discovered that Simon Kain was not murdered and, rather, died of an infectious disease of unknown origin. The pair decide to work together.

    On Day 2, after the Haruspex learns about his inheritance, the Bachelor will request that he make some tinctures as written in Isidor Burakh's notes for the Bachelor to analyse. After making one, the Haruspex gives it to the Bachelor at the Stillwater for him to examine. From this, he concludes that it would be pertinent to study the effect of the natural agents within the mixtures on dead tissue. Through trial and error, he believes he may be able to create a way to fight the plague.

    On Day 3, the Bachelor will request that the Haruspex track down some infected tissue for him to study, as he does not have the means to collect it himself. The Haruspex may bring him infected blood, an infected heart, an infected kidney, or an infected liver. Upon returning to the Bachelor, he may choose between rewards of immunogens (5 Beta-Tablets and 1 Delta-Tablet), painkillers (1 novocaine, 1 morphine, and 1 etorphine), antibiotics (1 feromycinum, 1 neomycinum, 1 monomycinum), or 2 bandage sets.

    On Day 4, the Bachelor tells the Haruspex to speak to Lara Ravel, who, if his reputation is high enough, will direct him to Stanislav Rubin.

    On Day 5, the Bachelor will ask the Haruspex to find a fresh infected heart to study. There are three ways in which such an item can be acquired. The first two options are done through talking to Aspity who guides him to a Worm gathering hut where he may choose to take hearts from either the Herb Bride or the butchers that are there. The third option is to kill Willow Mellow by the Factus Est and take hers. If the Haruspex gives Bachelor the Bride's heart, the Bachelor will provide the Haruspex with money and a blue vaccine. If he is given a butcher's heart, the Bachelor will give a higher monetary reward and two bottles of the black vaccine. If he is given Willow's heart, the Bachelor will accept it as a sample, but provide no reward.

    On Day 6, Haruspex receives a letter to talk to the Bachelor in the Stillwater concerning testing the blood of bulls. Once the Haruspex collects a phial of bull's blood, he can return to the Bachelor, who will analyse it. Through his analysis, he concludes that the bull's blood is useless to humans, as antibodies created in bulls are incompatible with humans.

    On the morning of Day 7, the Bachelor will send the Haruspex a letter asking him to make haste to the Stillwater if he wishes to discuss the results of their tests. Upon arriving, the Bachelor will advise the Haruspex to go to the Cathedral to meet the Inquisitor. He is planning to see the Inquisitor, though, after the Haruspex does.

    On Day 9, Foreman Oyun will ask the Haruspex to interrogate the Bachelor in the Stillwater. Once there, Eva Yan will inform the Haruspex that the Bachelor has gone to the Polyhedron and is not there. As it happens, the Bachelor has been captured by the Dogheads after attempting to give them blank rifle cartridges instead of live ammo. The Dogheads will request 30 rounds of rifle ammo to free him. If the Haruspex did not let Lika live and does not wish to kill the Dogheads, he can ask Eva in the Stillwater for help, and she will provide him with all 30.

    On Day 10, the Bachelor will suggest that the Haruspex address Foreman Oyun with the question of his inheritance. On the same day, the Bachelor can be spoken to concerning the unusual blood from the bull in the Bone Stake Lot and the blood pooling at the base of the Polyhedron. The Bachelor will also provide his interpretation of the Haruspex's "Udurgh". Unlike Foreman Oyun (who believes that Udurgh is the settlement), the Bachelor believes the Udurgh was Simon Kain, who has such an influence on the town that he may as well have been called a "body that contains a world". He asks the Haruspex to ask Capella about his theory. Capella is sceptical about the interpretation but does agree that it is a possible interpretation of an Udurgh. Satisfied with the possibility that it may be his Udurgh, the Bachelor then concludes that there is a possibility that the Udurgh can therefore possibly be the Polyhedron, too.

    On Day 11, the Haruspex will find the bull in the Bone Stake Lot burned before he could collect more blood for his panacea. The military men at the Lot will direct the Haruspex to Captain Longin, who will, in turn, direct him to the Bachelor in the Stillwater. The Bachelor will confess that it was he who had the bull destroyed, as it posed a sanitary risk. In the evening, the Bachelor can provide the Haruspex with the password to enter the Polyhedron and see Khan on Capella's request.

    On Day 12, the Bachelor can be spoken to concerning the final decision. The Bachelor's choice is to destroy the town and preserve the Polyhedron. He requires the Utopians to be healthy to do so.

    Changeling Route The Bachelor works to find the source of the plague while manufacturing his vaccine with Rubin. This puts him in the Changeling's path when she is accused of being a carrier of the disease. In later days, he is engaged in a rivalry with the Haruspex. This often toes the line of deadly, with the two of them in a game of cat and mouse throughout the town. The Changeling can help or hinder the Bachelor as she chooses. He is also willing to reward the Changeling for revealing her sister's hideouts.

    On Day 1, the man wounded by the Haruspex can be found at the Willows, alongside the Bachelor. A crowd has gathered in the corner of the mansion and may function as witnesses for the Changeling's healing powers. The Bachelor is somewhat disbelieving of the Changeling's powers, but he can hardly argue with his own eyes and agrees to testify for her to Alexander Saburov.

    On Day 2, the Changeling will encounter the Bachelor after she finds the Harpist at the behest of Lara Ravel. He expresses surprise at seeing her there, as he had just met her – or rather, her twin – at the Willows.

    On Day 3, the Changeling learns that the Bachelor and the Haruspex's relationship has severely deteriorated, and the two are now attempting to find each other and fight. She will be asked to locate the Bachelor by both Anna Angel and Capella. Capella will guide the Changeling to a house in the Hindquarters where the Bachelor had begun testing medicine. If the Changeling found the Haruspex before finding the Bachelor, she can tell the Bachelor where the Haruspex is and receive 2000 Coins and one neomycinum pill.

    On Day 5, following conversations with the Cathedral guards and Maria Kaina, the Changeling can ask the Bachelor for access to the Cathedral. While he doesn't have the key, he provides a useful tip regarding their need for water.

    On Day 6, the Changeling needs to find the Bachelor to help clear her name after rumours spread that she was the one who caused everyone in the Cathedral to become infected and die. He is making his own rounds to inspect the blood of women in the town who are also under suspicion, thus he will appear in different houses depending on the time.

    From the morning until 14:00, the Bachelor will be at the Willows. From 14:00 to 16:00, at the Shelter. From 16:00 to 18:00, at Aspity's Hospice. After 18:00, he will be at the Stillwater. Regardless of where the Changeling finds the Bachelor, after talking to him, she will be brought to the Stillwater. He examines her blood and concludes she is innocent, but forces her to stay there to prove for sure that she is not the one infecting people.

    On Day 7, the Changeling is still at the Stillwater. She speaks with the Bachelor, who gives her 1000 Coins and lets her go. Later in the day, she will find him again at the Theatre when she is investigating why he was sent to the town. He asks her for the Executor mask, and once she gives it to him, he will tell her about the Inquisitor and the Powers That Be. The Bachelor also tells her to look for the Haruspex in the Termitary to get more information. He then asks her to deliver a sawn-off shotgun to a Worm who lives at the western-most herb gathering hut in the Steppe.

    On Day 8, he will be found in a house east of the Town Hall, both hiding from and hunting for the Haruspex.

    On Day 9, the Changeling will initially run into the Bachelor on the first floor of the Short Block of the Termitary. She asks him about Rubin and Simon Kain's body. Later, the Bachelor will be in a house east of the Factus Est.

    On Day 10, the Changeling finds the Bachelor at Rubin's Prosectorium. He tells her that Rubin went to see the Kains and hasn't returned. Later that day, she can find him in a house in the Mouth district, next to the grocery store.

    On Day 11, the Changeling needs to find the Bachelor and deliver him something on the Inquisitor's behalf. She needs to first deal with the mutiny at the Train Station, before she learns that the Bachelor and Andrey Stamatin had managed to escape from the soldiers and will be at Stamatin's Loft. The Changeling gives the Bachelor the papers from the Inquisitor. He will ask for her help in defeating both the Haruspex and the Inquisitor. Later that day, she can find him again in a building that is northeast of Maria's Wing of the Crucible.

    On Day 12, the Bachelor is in the Stillwater and can be spoken to concerning the final decision. The Bachelor's choice is to destroy the town and preserve the Polyhedron. He requires the Utopians to be healthy to do so.

Gryph warehouse 2.jpg Name Bad Grief's gang Nickname Grief's minions[1] Location Bad Grief's Nest The Warehouses Bad Grief's gang are a collection of criminals under the leadership of Bad Grief. They specialise in collecting and selling counterfeit goods. Bad Grief's gang do not believe in carrying knives, agreeing with the town on their superstitions regarding cutting bodies. They are a counter to Barley the Barber's men, who follow no such rules and are often found with knives. They do, however, still allow murder, as long as a body is not cut in the process.

    Bad Grief himself claims to be working alongside Big Vlad, responsible for maintaining peace and order in the Warehouses among the Bull Enterprise's workers. Whether this means he is selling contraband by Big Vlad's orders or not is unclear.

    Pathologic Bad Grief's gang operate out of the Warehouses. In their lair, Bad Grief sells weapons, twyrine, and clothing. The gang claim to abide by the town's laws against cutting others, but knives are still available for purchase by Bad Grief.

    Bachelor Route On Day 2 of the Bachelor Route, Andrey Stamatin tells the Bachelor to request a revolver from Bad Grief, using the code "Andrey is off to the kennel". Bad Grief seems to understand this code, alluding to some kind of past connection between them. He gives Bachelor the pistol, free of charge.

    On Day 5, the Bachelor can request the aid of Bad Grief's gang in freeing the Haruspex from prison. It will cost ten thousand coins to do so.

    Haruspex Route On Day 3 of the Haruspex Route, the Haruspex is asked to intervene in the gang's actions against the Soul-and-a-Halves by Capella.

    Changeling Route On Day 4 of the Changeling Route, the Changeling must investigate the rumours that the gang has been disposing of corpses in the Gorkhon River. Bad Grief informs her that it is Barley the Barber committing the crime, and she must deal with him instead.

    — Bad Grief, Bachelor Route, Day 4 Plot Bachelor Route On Day 4, the Bachelor is sent to discover if Bad Grief's men were responsible for all the killings that have been happening in the town. Grief will tell him that the ones responsible for killing people have been following Barley and asks the Bachelor to deal with Barley for him.

    The Bachelor seeks help from Alexander Saburov, but must head to Barley's warehouse as well. Inside, he will be attacked by seven muggers, including Barley himself, and he must kill them. He then returns to Grief and tells him that Barley has been dealt with.

    On Day 5, due to the commotion of Barley and his men's doings, many innocent townsfolk are held prisoners in the Town Hall under Saburov's orders.[2]

    Haruspex Route Barley does not appear during the Haruspex Route.

    Changeling Route On Day 4, the Changeling is told by her father, Alexander Saburov, to investigate if Bad Grief is responsible for the outbreak, as his men were seen stabbing people at night and dumping bodies into the river. Bad Grief claims that Barley is the mastermind behind such crimes and that the Changeling will be able to find evidence of such in Barley's warehouse. Clara discovers a mysterious sack in the back area of the warehouse and brings it to Saburov.

    It is revealed that the evidence, which is the severed head of one of Saburov's captains, was planted by Bad Grief to frame Barley for the stabbings. The Changeling evokes this confession from Bad Grief with her hypnotic powers.

He weighs no less than one and a half hundred. His shoulders are almost a meter wide. His jowls are covered with well-groomed stubble, his lower lip hangs down slightly, and his eyes are bulging. His black hair is cut short. He breathes heavily, with his whole chest. He suffers from shortness of breath. Pose: He sits sprawled; his hands are on the armrests, leaning heavily back. His heavy gaze is motionless, looking straight into the eyes.

    Personality: Very smart. Phlegmatic: his heavy body does not allow him to make numerous gestures and move around. He is prone to outbursts of anger, which can be caused by a trifle that has nothing to do with their true cause. Terrible when enraged. Possesses enormous physical strength. Can lift and smash a heavy table into pieces, crush dishes in his hand, break a person's bones, give a cannibalistic order that will result in the fate of many people suffering. Ensures the operation of the town's economic arteries, rules with an iron hand. His main quality is heaviness. Difficult character, heavy hand, heavy burden, heavy power. Says less than he means. Doesn't like to lie. To conceal the truth, he prefers to resort to omissions rather than to misinformation.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[5] Big Vlad is clever, but quick-tempered and unrestrained. He has a terrible temper and wields enormous economic power. He is capricious, cruel, and biased in his judgements. He speaks very slowly, often taking deep breaths before he says what is on his mind.

    Background Clan Olgimsky, led by Big Vlad, controls the meat processing plant, the Termitary and to some extent the Abattoir. In fact, the Abattoir was initially realised by the forces of all three dominant families of the city, but is now run mostly by the older and younger Olgimsky.

    Although the construction of Polyhedron is credited to the Stamatins and the Kains, the main force for its physical construction was provided by Big Vlad. For this project, he mobilised the Order and thus gave the architect the required number of hands, and possibly materials as well. Vlad was also responsible for the building of Lara Ravel's shelter.[6]

    Through the creation of the Bull Project, the town's industry is concentrated in Big Vlad's hands. At the time the story unfolds, a great deal of his power has been passed to his son, Vlad the Younger, possibly in turn to prepare him for inheritance. His son doesn't have the best relationship with his father because they disagree about how best to manage and subordinate the workers and the Steppe: the father thinks it is right to treat them almost as though half-animal; the son believes in the value of their culture and communicates with them on an almost-equal footing. Allegedly, Big Vlad cares for his children, yet it is obscured by capitalist gloat and contempt for his children's empathy.

    Despite the seemingly obvious contempt for the Kin, he received the title of boös, "like a bull". He assigned Oyun as the Foreman of the Abattoir and spoke closely with Isidor Burakh, though his respect for the man seemed limited to a business relationship.

    Appearance Big Vlad is a stern man with a harsh expression. He has no hair on his head, many wrinkles, and sharp green eyes. He wears a purple kerchief wrapped around his neck, pinned in place with a bull skull pin, and a blue corduroy button vest. His coat is made of heavy brown wool, with rolled cuffs. He wears striped purple-and-white pants and leather shoes. He has a silver ring on his right middle finger.

    Portrait Quotes AlexanderHDportrait.jpg "Vlad is a cunning and unfriendly man. Dealing with him is tough. I find it odd that he runs the Kin so smoothly. Civilized people can't usually find a common tongue with our Steppe people; you have to turn into a beast regularly in order to communicate with them. I think they've stricken some sort of secret pact; this peace has to have a hefty price."

    —Alexander's take on him. VictorHDportrait.jpg "The town prospers thanks to his acumen. He watches over the arteries and has a firm hold over the economy. The Abattoir, the factories, the warehouses; the trading processes themselves are completely under his control. Saburov and I have long abandoned our attempts to interfere with his domain; we don't have the slightest idea of The Bull Project's day-to-day life. I wouldn't be surprised to find out one day that Vlad had installed slavery there."

Please improve this article if you can. Bachelor Route On Day 1, the Bachelor speaks with Big Vlad on the subject of Isidor Burakh and his supposed murder. Big Vlad is intentionally unhelpful, not wanting to discuss business matters with an outsider like him.

    On Day 2, following finding proof of the plague, the Bachelor must confirm with Big Vlad that the Olgimsky family is willing to allow Alexander Saburov to take emergency powers.

    On Day 3, the Bachelor has to convince Big Vlad to cease the persecution of three butchers who have escaped the Termitary quarantine. Missing information.

    On Day 4, the Bachelor will be called to the Lump to discuss the creation of a morgue, hospital, and isolation ward for the upcoming epidemic with Big Vlad.

    On Day 5, the Bachelor needs to find the Haruspex and seeks out information on his whereabouts from Big Vlad.

    On Day 8, the Bachelor will speak with Taya Tycheek, where, in exchange for access to the Abattoir, he must bring to the Termitary the one responsible for locking the Kin up inside, leaving them to starve. The Bachelor must choose if he will send Vlad the Younger to face the Kin, as he had locked up the Termitary in the wake of alleged riots and the suspicion of the coming Sand Plague, or if he will send Big Vlad who, despite his conflicts with his son, agrees to take the blame, choosing to surrender himself to the Termitary to be killed. If Big Vlad is sent, the Lump's main wing will no longer be accessible, and an Executor will be standing by the door.

    Haruspex Route On Day 1, Big Vlad will inform the Haruspex of his father's murder and reveal that he is suspected of patricide. He and his family then promise to vouch for the Haruspex.

    On Day 2, while speaking to Big Vlad, the Haruspex will be informed that Alexander Saburov holds the key to the Burakh home. He will also be told of an upcoming epidemic and is warned that once it starts, the Olgimskys will no longer be able to protect him.

    On Day 3, the Haruspex can speak to Big Vlad to discuss his family inheritance. He will also discover that the Termitary has been locked due to the epidemic.

    On Day 8, the Haruspex needs to find the Changeling to fulfil a request for Taya Tycheek so that he can enter the Abattoir. He asks Capella for help, and she tells him to check Murky's wagon. The Haruspex also receives a request from Georgiy Kain, which will determine which Vlad Olgimsky to send to the Termitary, preferring to send Vlad the Younger.

    The Haruspex must choose then if he will send Vlad the Younger to face the Kin, as he had locked up the Termitary in the wake of alleged riots and the suspicion of the coming Sand Plague, or if he will send Big Vlad who, despite his conflicts with his son, agrees to take the blame, choosing to surrender himself to the Termitary to be killed. If Big Vlad is sent, the Lump's main wing will no longer be accessible, an Executor will be standing by the door, and the Haruspex will receive no reward from Georgiy Kain.

    If he survives through to Day 11, Big Vlad will speak of his daughter as becoming one of the new leaders of the town, conceding his power to her.

    Changeling Route On Day 2, at the request of Alexander Saburov, the Changeling can ask Big Vlad for information about Aspity. Missing information.

    Description The Kin call them "yargachins", which is implied to refer to both a butcher and a surgeon.[1]

    While butchers are traditionally able to dissect bulls, they are still forbidden from the dissection of human bodies, exclusive to menkhu.[2] According to Steppe tradition, they are also the only ones permitted to dig in the Earth (although Grace is allowed within the bounds of her duty as cemetery caretaker).

    Appearance Butchers have three teardrops tattooed on their left cheek.

We want the Pathologic plot entries to feel more detailed, in-depth information about how the characters react to events, as well as providing context for quests and interactions, rather than just stating when they appear. By the events of the game, most butchers are locked in the Termitary under the Olgimskys' orders.[3]

    Bachelor Route On Day 1, the Bachelor hears from Vlad the Younger that a butcher managed to escape the Termitary, and he asks him to kill the fugitive, implying that the butcher may have been involved in Isidor's murder. The butcher is in the basement of Aspity's Hospice. The Bachelor can either kill the butcher for 2000 Coins from Vlad or help Aspity help him escape in exchange for a bronze bracelet, a gold ring, and a pair of earrings. If the Bachelor attempts to speak with the butcher, he will become hostile and attack him.

    On Day 3, the Bachelor goes to a house in the Spleen district in search of Simon Kain's body and finds two hostile butchers on the second floor harbouring a body. The Bachelor also visits Aspity, who is harbouring fugitive butchers. He needs their help to get infected tissue, so he convinces Big Vlad to stop pursuing them. Aspity sends three butchers to the Skinners district. When he goes to meet them, they are all dead, killed by guards. One in the Bone Stake Lot, one behind Isidor Burakh's House, and one at the garden near Sticky's House.

    On Day 7, when the Bachelor goes to seek out Eva Yan in the marsh, he encounters three hostile butchers and three hostile Worms.

    Haruspex Route On Day 3, Aspity tells the Haruspex about a house where a butcher is hiding. The butcher is on the second floor.

    On Day 5, the Haruspex needs to collect an infected heart. He can get one by killing butchers near the western Worm gatherer hut.

    On Day 6, the Haruspex meets with Taya Tycheek and two butchers.

    On Day 10, after sleeping at Ragi Barrow, the Haruspex is guided by the spirits to three Worm yurts, where he will have to kill a butcher at each hut, no matter what dialogue options he picks.

    Changeling Route On Days 7–11, if the Changeling finds the Haruspex, he will be guarded by a butcher and two Worms, all hostile.

After her mother's death, she is heir to the title of White Mistress.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Appearance 3 Background 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenshots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: A thin, fragile girl with aristocratic mannerisms. Straight dark hair falls just below her scapulae. Her clothes emphasise her natural grace. Her arms are very thin, especially at the wrists. Her skin is soft and white, almost translucent. Reminiscence of the Wilis from Giselle. Pose: Spins like a ballerina, with her long dress flowing.

    Personality: Capella is somewhat similar to Maria Kaina. She plays the same role for children as Maria does for the Utopians. She is a charismatic leader. Wherever she appears, children go crazy, as if getting a dose of adrenaline into their blood. The kids claim that even thinking about her is happiness. Any activity with her participation is a festive occasion. She has the power to arrange a game, to change the atmosphere with the smallest nuance of her mood: from delight to a creative take-off, strenuous work, sweet sorrow, aspiration to a feat or a dream. She knows all of her adherents (and there are hundreds of them) by name, and from time to time she gives each of them fantastic gifts (she is the richest heiress in the town, and her father seldom refuses her requests).

    One can feel the beating of her colossal inner strength, and the children rely on it. They do not take their eyes off her for fear of missing the moment when this strength finally breaks loose. Capella can make a wish come true before it is even wished. She got her nickname for singing a cappella, as well as for her house, which looks like a chapel, where she hosted candlelit feasts. She doesn't love Khan, but respects him as an equal, and in some ways, even a superior partner. Both Khan and Capella have repeatedly proven that they can control hidden forces that others can't see – and these powers are not just make-believe. Very few of the town's children are able to exist between these two beacons without losing their own fire. The most notable of them became the game's heroes.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] Capella is a charismatic and generous leader of the town's children. She calls herself the "princess and priestess of children". She has an aura that brings happiness to those around her. She is kind-hearted and aspires to care for the town as her mother once did.

    She enjoys inviolable authority among the children, regardless of whether they live in the Polyhedron or not. For example, Taya Tycheek says that she would swallow a bee for Capella.[2] One of Khan's Dogheads notes that while Capella does not believe in the Polyhedron's magic, she does not oppose their views, which means that she can be trusted. While she boasts an incredible amount of influence, she does not abuse it. She takes care of children and does her best to help them – she is beloved and trusted among the town's children.

    Premonitions come to her regularly, and she attempts to use this ability to protect and save others. She struggles to understand them, as she believes it is the power of her mother channelling through her.

    Appearance Capella has shoulder-length brown hair and bright blue eyes, with an assortment of freckles on her face. She is quite short. She wears a denim dress, a pink neckerchief, and a denim blue jacket with a fur collar. The skirt of her dress is either hemmed with white and brown lace, or another skirt sits underneath. She wears black and white striped knee socks and laced-up black shoes.

    Background Capella lost her mother when she was young and has struggled to carry her expectations on her shoulders ever since. She cares deeply for her family, but is aware of the conflict between her older brother and her father regarding the future of the Bull Project.

    Portrait Quotes MariaHDportrait.jpg "Oh, I admire Capella. Khan and she hold absolute power over the minds of the children. However, my surly brother is indelicate and spiteful... while Capella is smart and gentle. Khan lures them in with the liberty to do whatever they will; Capella does so with love. I'd be glad to see her become the White Mistress."

    —Maria's take on her. YoungvladHDportrait.jpg "Capella is to the children what Maria is to us. Wherever she appears, children go crazy, as if they were given an adrenaline shot straight to the heart. The only thing that confuses me is the promises of a new life that she tries to hammer into their heads. She claims to be a priestess—but what gave her the right? Her mother's blood? No. She will not grow to be a Mistress."

    —Vlad the Younger's take. Plot Button.png Your stuffing's coming out. This entry is written half-heartedly. It should be reworked. Reason: We want the Pathologic 1 plot entries to feel more detailed, in-depth information about how the characters react to events, as well as providing context for quests and interactions, rather than just stating when they appear. Bachelor Route Capella is first met on Day 2, where the Bachelor must talk to her to learn more about the rumours children have been spreading about so-called "Silent Houses". She tells him that they are unsafe and sick houses where young children like Sticky have been playing. Discovering the location of the Silent House will help the Bachelor in his quest to give emergency powers to Alexander Saburov.

    On Day 3, the Bachelor can speak to Capella, who asks him to find and help a boy named Loafer who is about to test a shmowder, a dangerous combination of crushed pills and medicine.

    On Day 6, the Bachelor can choose to talk to Capella. She will warn him not to make a rash decision in the upcoming days, so says her premonition. She then tells him to speak with her brother, Vlad the Younger, about an arsonist attack on the Termitary being led by Var.

    On Day 8, as the Bachelor makes his decision regarding the Termitary, he can talk to Capella, who will ask him to bring some medicine to Taya Tycheek, as she is worried for the young girl.

    On Day 11, the Bachelor chooses to help the Kains in obtaining tokens of acceptance from future Mistresses of the town for Maria Kaina's ascension. One of the items he must get is a necklace from Capella. Capella is deeply uncomfortable with accepting Maria's supremacy, but complies and gives the Bachelor her necklace.

    On Day 12, as Capella is one of the Haruspex's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of her wing at the Lump with Capella infected inside. If the player wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Capella a shmowder or a panacea to cure her.

    Haruspex Route On Day 1, the Haruspex is guided to the Lump after arriving in town. If the Haruspex arrives before 11:00, he will be unable to enter Big Vlad's wing. However, he can visit Capella earlier than 11:00, but she dismisses him after some time, claiming she has a headache. She will speak to the Haruspex again after he meets with her father, where she provides him with his list of Bound children to take care of.

    On Day 3, after the Haruspex speaks with Big Vlad regarding his inheritance, he pays a visit to Capella, who asks for his help as she feels that Notkin is in danger.

    On Day 7, the Haruspex will receive a letter from Capella, asking him to see her in her wing of the Lump. When spoken to, she will ask the Haruspex to check up on Taya Tycheek in the Termitary, saying that she is concerned about the young girl.

    On Day 9, Capella will send the Haruspex a letter asking to meet her in the Lump. She will ask him to check on Sticky, who has gotten into trouble with the Dogheads.

    The following day, Capella sends the Haruspex a letter asking for his help. She will tell him to visit Murky. The Haruspex must also seek out Capella's help to find Grace, as she has gone missing from her lodge at the cemetery, possibly kidnapped by the army.

    On Day 11, Capella will once again request the Haruspex's aid, asking him to talk to Khan on matters of the future between the Olgimskys and the Kains.

    When describing the town after choosing the Termite Ending, Capella says the town's future will rely on the notion that she and Khan are to be married. An Olgimsky-Kain alliance will be formed, ensuring a peaceful political atmosphere for the future. Primarily, Capella views herself as the next White Mistress, with abilities that may be even stronger than her mother's.

    She envisions a thriving town that is a "blend of many colours", as opposed to the purple and scarlet of the past Mistresses.[3] Capella states that the Termites will play an important part in the town's revitalisation, and describes the role of the "colour" of each child.

    Changeling Route Capella is first met by the Changeling on Day 2 at the request of Alexander Saburov, who is investigating Aspity. She asks Big Vlad for more information about the woman. Capella is enthused to speak to another potential Mistress who is her age, as Maria Kaina is much older.

    The next day, on Day 3, the Changeling asks Capella about the threatening letters that Anna Angel has been receiving. Capella is frustrated that Anna would make up lies about her father to make it seem like he cares at all about her. She suggests that it is possible Khan is blackmailing Anna, as Khan has a deep distrust and hatred for adults of the Ace of Diamonds Caravan, of whom Anna was a former member.

    On Day 5, Capella sends the Changeling a letter. She says she has a bad feeling about the Cathedral and asks the Changeling to investigate, worried that something bad will happen to the people in quarantine. She will also suggest that the Changeling talk to Maria Kaina about her premonition, even though the Changeling is worried Maria will yell at her.

    The next day, the Changeling will be asked by Katerina Saburova to talk to Vlad the Younger. To learn more about the Olgimsky heir, she seeks out Capella. Capella tells her that her brother has been absent, but is worried he is falling into trouble.

    On Day 7, Katerina tells the Changeling it is time for her to learn about Mistresses and will send her to speak to Capella and Maria. Capella speaks highly of the Changeling, though she is concerned about the conflicting nature of Mistresses and considers the problems that will arise from the three women gaining power.

    On Day 12, as Capella is one of the Haruspex's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of her wing at the Lump with Capella infected inside. If the player wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Capella a shmowder or a panacea to cure her.

She is one of three playable characters alongside Bachelor and Haruspex.

A foggy morning; having passed a wicket gate, she is now dawdling somewhere, piles of dry leaves rustling in her wake. A familiar voice calls out to her. She lifts her eyes and sees her own twin sister point at an old man convulsing and weeping in unbearable agony. Clara darts for the man to save him with her healing touch—but so does her sister! The girls exchange confused glances. This is the story of a thief girl who has chosen her own past, ceased to be the instrument of blind fate, and refashioned herself into a free miracle-worker.

    „

    — Character selection screen Background “ Clara wakes up. Could the dream have been prophetic? She has prophetic dreams often, she's no longer surprised by them—she knows they are sent by the powers that want to warn the herald of what the future holds for her. There were a lot of clues hinting at the veracity of the message. She does indeed know how to treat those in pain with her miraculous hands. She is indeed willing to ease their suffering. She truly strives to do the right thing! She loves her fellow beings. The girl is eager to do good deeds even if that requires her to go through pain and hardships...

    Changeling wakes up at the edge of a pit in the ground. Sleep hasn't brought her comfort. Her back and her legs ache as though she has walked many miles. Her hands are covered in mud, there are traces of dried blood on her bare knees. It's dark. The dawn is a few hours away.

    „

    — The Path of Logic While the other playable characters arrive through conventional means, the Changeling quite literally appears from nowhere: she is found at the bottom of a hole in the ground in the cemetery, which is, according to Grace, a freshly dug grave. Clara is the most ambiguous of the characters. She is believed to be either a thief or a miracle worker, either plague itself or a saint. In many respects, the aura of mystery around her is caused by the way she appears in the town.[5]

    Throughout the course of the story, Clara reveals details of her past. Some details are true and some are false: in some dialogue options, the Changeling can lie intentionally.[6]

    Appearance Changeling is a short girl with grey eyes and brown hair, tucked under a dull red hat. She has a brown scarf wrapped around her. She wears a green jacket with several pockets, and a striped shirt of grey, brown, and red beneath it. She wears a grey skirt, brown socks, and brown chunky shoes.

    Gameplay Abilities The Changeling, unlike the other playable characters, is unable to use most of the weaponry found throughout the town, nor may she fight in the Circle of Suok. Instead, she has access to a unique gun known as the derringer.

    She has access to magical powers, which are used in place of the normal unarmed combat: she can damage enemies within a short range and can also cure the infected. Additionally, Clara can gather herbs and gamble on rat races.

    Plot Button.png Your stuffing's coming out. This entry is written half-heartedly. It should be reworked. Bachelor Route On Day 6, when speaking to Georgiy, the Bachelor will be told that the Changeling is in grave danger. When the Bachelor is collecting blood from women accused of infecting the Cathedral, Anna Angel will suggest investigating the Changeling. If the Bachelor kills the Albino, Clara will be at the place where it died. If he doesn't, she will be at the Stillwater.

    On Day 8, the Haruspex's letter to the Bachelor warns him not to give the Executor's cloak and talon mask to the Changeling.

    On Day 11, the Bachelor needs to collect tokens of acknowledgement from the other Mistresses for Maria. The Changeling is in the Town Hall and will give up her foster mother's ring.

    On Day 12, the Bachelor receives a letter from the Changeling at 8:00, asking him to help cure her Bound. She is in the Short Block of the Termitary. If the Bachelor heals her Bound, she will be present at the Cathedral at 19:00.

    Haruspex Route On Day 6, the Changeling asks the Haruspex to meet her at Grace's Lodge. She will offer to help the Haruspex obtain bull's blood. Later in the day, the Haruspex gets a letter from Anna Angel. When he enters the Willows, the Changeling will ask him to get information on the Rat Prophet. After entering the Theatre tunnels and finding the Rat Prophet, he can tell her what he's learned. He receives Herbal Recipe #7.

    On Day 8, the Haruspex needs Taya Tycheek to open the Abattoir, but Taya requests the end of a story Clara was telling her. He is directed to Murky's wagon by Capella, where he can trick the Changeling into telling him the story's end by saying the Soul-and-a-Halves thought it was funny.

    On Day 11, the Haruspex receives a letter from the Changeling at 7:15 telling him to speak to her in Grace's Lodge. She tells him he will need her help for the upcoming trial. If he accepts her help, upon jumping into the pit, he will find three of Clara's Bound. He must choose to sacrifice one. He can refuse the Changeling's assistance by talking to Aspity, the surviving Vlad, or the Bachelor after talking to Oyun.

    Changeling Route Main article: Changeling Route After waking up, Clara is taken in by Katerina and Alexander Saburov and fulfils tasks on their behalf. At Katerina's urging, Clara's goal becomes to banish the plague by maintaining the Law.

    Clara seems to rely upon "a Miracle" in saving the town, and the belief that people can really change the world by repenting for their sins and making amends for them.

    — Chara, Pathologic 2, Day 2 The Dogheads are a gang of children under the leadership of Khan. They are named as such due to the dog masks they all wear. They adore the Polyhedron and believe in miracles. They are a counter to Notkin's Soul-and-a-Halves.

    One of the Dogheads, Lika, will be encountered by the Haruspex and the Changeling on Day 1 of their routes. Depending on the actions taken by the Haruspex, he may meet Lika again on Day 9.

    On Day 8, Ayan sends the Bachelor a letter, asking him to return quickly to the Stillwater as he has some guests.[1] Ayan will be standing in the first-floor room with several Dogheads who are looking for the Bachelor.

    On Day 9, the Dogheads ask the Bachelor for rifles to protect the Polyhedron from the army. In the Haruspex Route, the Bachelor attempts to fool them with fake rifle ammo, and they imprison him in a factory in the Works.

    Pathologic 2 “ These masks remind us we're still beasts, and the true humans inside us are yet to come out. They can't see well, are almost deaf, and speak only in gibberish. Lots of room left for growth. „

    — Chara, Day 2 The Dogheads act as the protectors and residents of the Polyhedron. They refuse the Haruspex entry until they can no longer protect it.

    After their leader Khan leaves the Polyhedron following his journey into the House of Death, there are whispers of a mutiny in the Dogheads. Nothing comes of this.

    On Day 2, a Soul-and-a-Half called Smokey is being awaited by four Dogheads, including Chara, below the Stairway to Heaven next to the Nutshell.

    Smokey says that things used to be peaceful between the two groups. Everyone used to only mingle with their own gang, but recently it's escalated into a war. The Soul-and-a-Halves made the first attack, but it was because the Dogheads "got under [their] skin". He then tells the Haruspex to leave, as adults have no business in their wars. Smokey believes everything will calm down in the evening when the kids all gather at the Train Station, which is a neutral territory.

    On Day 4, the Haruspex can find Maera in the Nutshell. Maera asks the Haruspex for a Soul-and-a-Halves' leash in exchange for a shmowder. She explains she needs the leash to take up the role of hound in the Dogheads, symbolising a defeated Soul-and-a-Half.[2] This leash can be acquired with trickery or diplomacy, so she is happy to trade one with the Haruspex.

    Dogs Not to be confused with Dogheads OriginalTemplate.png This entry details content exclusive to Pathologic Classic HD. DogHDmodel.png Name Dog (собака) Faction Soul-and-a-Halves Status Alive* Location Earth Quarter Cemetery Dogs are non-playable ambient characters that can be found occasionally across town.

    Description The town's dogs are controlled and protected by Notkin's Soul-and-a-Halves.[1] They help them track down people.[2]

    Non-hostile dogs may be encountered randomly in all three healers' playthroughs at any time, running in any district. They cannot be interacted with. They can be killed, but it's useless as they cannot be looted upon dying.

    Hostile dogs can only be encountered in the cemetery on Day 11 of the Bachelor Route.

    Appearance Dogs in Pathologic resemble Dobermanns. They have black fur with brown markings on their legs and face, small pointed ears, and cropped tails.

    Plot With the Second Outbreak of the Sand Plague, dogs' behaviour became unusual. Children claim dogs started eating soil and band together.[3] However, they do not spawn as packs of dogs.

    If a healer participates in a rat race and loses, the Doghead in charge says they'll feed the loser's rat to the dogs.[4] If the Dogheads frequently feed rats to the dogs, it can be safely assumed that they are unknowingly spreading the plague.

    On Day 10, the soldiers shot the Soul-and-a-Halves' dogs. Reportedly, only three dogs survived, named Pong, Mittens, and Lobe. Several boys went to get revenge on the soldiers, but none came back.[5]

    Bachelor Route Dogs are only a part of the Bachelor Route's plot, but they are mentioned in several instances.

    On Day 7, the Bachelor may propose to take infected tissue from dogs or rats for Stanislav Rubin, but Rubin rejects this and insists that they must obtain infected human tissue since his associates have already tried to study infected tissue in animals and have failed.[6]

    On Day 11, the Bachelor receives news that Andrey Stamatin has been captured in the cemetery by soldiers and goes to his rescue. However, when he arrives, the soldiers mistake him with Andrey and request that he give up a panacea. If the Bachelor refuses, he will be knocked out, stripped of all his items, and will wake up surrounded by hostile dogs.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenshots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: A "fantastic blonde". A character from David Lynch or Alfred Hitchcock's movies. Eva is pampered, posh, and takes good care of her appearance. She has an amazing body, which she isn't ashamed to show off on any possible occasion. Her marvellous golden locks are long enough to reach her knees; it's so long she can wrap herself up in it and do the most exotic hairstyles. Personality: Not a single thought in her head, and at the same time, without realising it, she manages to create a beautiful and promising atmosphere for the people around. Even her looks hold a promise of a setting where one doesn't need to do anything, but appear as they are in their uncouth guise. A setting like this, where one has nothing to lose and doesn't need to spend extra effort trying to appear better than they really are, can be quite arousing. Eva never asks for anything; she is the epitome of beauty. Eva is sensual, perhaps even lustful. She takes drugs and drinks, but looks especially attractive in her intoxicated state.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] Eva is an odd woman, but she is truly kind and appreciated as a virtuous and loving soul by even the most critical. She is the first person in the town to offer the Bachelor a place to stay. She is intrigued by death and does not seem to fear it. However, she does fear the plague, as well as the Ripper. She seems to be troubled by ageing.

    She has little modesty about her body and doesn't mind striking up casual relationships. She admires the Bachelor and Yulia Lyuricheva; Yulia and Eva both speak of each other very highly. She gets along well with the Stamatins, and both of the twins say she has greatly supported their ideas from the beginning. She is in a romantic relationship with Andrey Stamatin, though if asked about it, he says she loves whoever else she chooses, suggesting that their relationship is open.[2]

    Background Before the beginning of Pathologic, Eva Yan became mistress of the Stillwater. She is currently the only person in the town who is able to spend an extended amount of time within the strange building, as it is now mainly used as a guesthouse for outsiders.

    Appearance Eva has short blond hair that she keeps cut to her neck and warm hazel eyes. She wears a gold choker around her neck, and a long golden down cut into several pieces; long gloves, a tank top-style shirt, and an open slit skirt. Her belly button is pierced, and she wears a string anklet with no shoes.

    Portrait Quotes PeterHDportrait.jpg "She came to love my creation when it was but a sketch. People are often astonished by it, but rarely is it met with love. Even the children merely tolerate it. Loving an edifice like this demands vivid and outstanding imagination..."

    —Peter Stamatin's take on her. VictorHDportrait.jpg "Eva possesses some virtues that my daughter, unfortunately, does not. She is gentle. She is trustworthy. She wouldn't ever stoop to betrayal. She could be the Soul of a Focus, were she not enamoured of death so bizarrely and persistently."

    —Victor Kain's take. Plot Bachelor Route On Day 1, as the mistress and owner of the Stillwater – a guest house for outsiders – Eva Yan allows the Bachelor to live in the upstairs for the duration of his stay in the town. On the morning of the Bachelor's arrival, Eva is distressed by some loud noises in the garden outside. She requests that the Bachelor check on the commotion, believing that they may be a threat to her. She also acts as a guide to the town, explaining the relationship between the Kains to the Bachelor. She informs the Bachelor that he should see Georgiy Kain first, and, alongside that, see his niece Maria Kaina, who wishes to speak with him.

    On Day 2, Eva will suggest to the Bachelor that he escape with her, Andrey Stamatin, and Peter Stamatin. She will direct the Bachelor to speak with Andrey at Factus Est. The escape is ultimately a failure. Though Andrey and Peter have their own reasons for not meeting at the Train Station to escape the town, Eva did not arrive, as she was so anxious that she forgot to sleep and fainted. When the Bachelor speaks to her in the Stillwater following the failed attempt to inform her that they could not have escaped anyway, Eva becomes dejected, lamenting that it would be better for her to die than to live through the oncoming crisis.

    On Day 7, Eva Yan will always die, having thrown herself from the bannisters of the Cathedral. She believes that in doing so, she will imbue the Cathedral with its missing soul, completing the otherwise barren and empty structure.

    On Day 12, Eva Yan's spirit is present in the overlook of the Cathedral. She will insist that her death was worthy, content in her choice.

    Haruspex Route On Day 1, the Haruspex can speak to Eva, though she is clearly quite scared of him as she threatens to scream if he comes close to her. If the Haruspex speaks threateningly to Eva Yan, he will lose a significant amount of Reputation.

    On Day 9, Eva Yan will inform the Haruspex that the Bachelor is, for once, not in the Stillwater and has gone to the Polyhedron. As it happens, the Bachelor has been captured by the Dogheads after attempting to give them blank rifle cartridges instead of live ammo. The Dogheads will request 30 rounds of rifle ammo to free him. Eva, back at the Stillwater, can provide these to him.

    Changeling Route On Day 3, the Changeling can visit Eva Yan to convince her of the ideology of the Humbles, in exchange for a 30 Reputation boost and 1000 Coins from Katerina Saburova. To hook Eva, the Changeling uses her feelings for the Bachelor to advise her to answer her questions plainly. Eva ultimately cannot be swayed from her Utopian ideals as she has fallen too deeply in love with utopia and its miracles. She does, however, concede that she may give a sacrifice either way. Her only wish is that the Changeling take care of the Bachelor following her death. If the Changeling is helping Anna Angel, she can question Eva about the location of the Bachelor's research, hidden at Rubin's Prosectorium.

    On Day 6, Eva will be in the Stillwater the whole day and will confiscate many of the Changeling's possessions if she is spoken to before finding the Bachelor. Any of the Changeling's belongings that were taken will be returned to her after talking to the Bachelor.

ExecutorHDmodel.png Name Executor (Исполнитель) Nickname Orderly (Мортус) Claw Beak Faction Unaffiliated Status Alive Voice Russian Voice Andrey Yaroslavstev (Beak) Rogvold Sukhoverko (Claw) Executors are an orderlies wearing a stage costume provided by the Theatre: a heavy cloak and a bird mask.

    Description Executors are characters who play many roles. Sometimes their presence is caused by in-game matters, such as the spread of infection or to deliver information to characters; in other cases, they breach the fourth wall in order to speak directly to the player – often appearing to explain discrete game mechanics or to represent the game's developers.

    The Executors will appear as both plague orderlies in protective costumes, as well as figures of the Sand Plague. These figures are often referred to as Claw and Beak, two Executors with a meta knowledge of the game's events. They may be present during midnight pantomimes in both games.

    They follow the player's progress very closely as ever-present companions. They guide the player through the game – or perhaps they deceive them. They also appear at the end of each day at the Theatre to perform a pantomime based on the events of the day.

    It's hard to say how many Executors there are in the town and if the Executor appearing here and which are the same people.

    Plot When the player begins their journey as either the Bachelor, Haruspex, or Changeling an Executor (alongside a Tragedian if they are the Bachelor or the Changeling) will be waiting along some of their first steps, ready to explain to them how to play and exist in the word of Pathologic. They will teach the player information such as how to sate hunger and sate exhaustion, as well as how to manage time and dialogue.

    If the player fails to complete certain crucial tasks, or if the plague otherwise advances, an Executor will appear outside the door of a Bound who has fallen ill as a result. The player will be unable to speak with the sick individual unless they provide temporary medicine, or outright cure them.

    On the final day of Pathologic an Executor can be spoken to in the Theatre regarding the events of the game. They, alongside the Tragedian, are refered to as "The People Who Executed the Whole Thing" and act as virtual stand-ins for the developers.

Pose: Sitting and leaning towards the interlocutor, resting his palms on his knees, chin drawn to his chest, eyes looking straight ahead, just like people who listen to others while making some calculations of their own.

    Personality: Sick, tense, nervous mind. An energetic choleric disposition. He is a bit like old Prince Bolkonsky. He thinks adeptly and only voices his final decisions. Authoritative and blunt, he doesn't forgive mistakes and demands implicit submissiveness. He perceives his brother as a powerful ally and a sibling at the same time. He treats him in a fatherly but respectful manner. Georgiy, while slightly out of his mind, devotes almost all his time to the theory of occult sciences. Judging by some particular facts, he has succeeded.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] He has an unsettled and nervous mind – a choleric temperament. He has a quick mind and voices only the decisively planned end result. A harsh and authoritative man who is unforgiving of errors and who requires complete subordination. He views his brother as both a powerful ally and beloved kin, treating him paternalistically but with respect.

    Georgiy, being "slightly unhinged", devotes almost all of his time to occult sciences and theories. While considered to be a necromancer and sorcerer, Georgiy does not believe in necromancy per se, claiming it to be a matter of science.[3][4]

    Background Missing information.

    Appearance Georgiy is an elderly man who carries both age and wisdom in his face. He has white hair, a matching beard cut to his chin, and wild, wide brown eyes. He wears a long-sleeved purple robe with ornate red trimming on his shoulders and sleeve cuffs, with a similar maroon shirt underneath. His robes are tied around his waist by a thick rope. He wears nondescript brown boots.

    Portrait Quotes YuliaHDportrait.jpg "A potent mind to say the least. Encyclopaedically educated, well versed in Mathematics and Physics, has appreciable background in Astronomy. With all that, his chosen field of study is decidedly occult. And it is impossible to disregard how successful he is at that. However awkward it may appear at first glance, the quotidian and the numinous often complement each other very well."

    —Yulia's take on him. AlexanderHDportrait.jpg "Georgiy is no successor to Simon. Semblance in appearances doesn't necessarily imply internal likeness. Kain is too deranged to be a good ruler. Were he, say, to rule our country, he would have turned it into some kind of theocracy."

    —Alexander Saburov's take. Plot Bachelor Route On Day 1, after arriving in town, the Bachelor goes to meet with Georgiy Kain. He will learn that Simon Kain died before he arrived, and is then sent to speak with Victor Kain and Maria Kaina.

    The next day, the Bachelor must show Georgiy proof of the plague to give Alexander Saburov emergency powers to assist in the upcoming outbreak. While assisting Lara Ravel with her House of the Living, the Bachelor can collect donations from Maria Kaina. If Alexander Saburov already has emergency powers, the Bachelor can also receive a donation from Victor Kain. The Bachelor can also visit Maria to learn about why the Stamatin brothers, Andrey Stamatin and Peter Stamatin, are unwilling to leave the town.

    On the third day, Georgiy asks for the Bachelor's help: Stanislav Rubin is missing, and so is Simon's body. Victor suspects Vlad the Younger knows more about the situation, and the Bachelor must relay messages between Vlad the Younger and Victor until Vlad the Younger tells the Bachelor where he suspects the body to be. After investigating the location, the Bachelor returns to Georgiy to report his findings.

    On Day 6, as the Bachelor investigates the quarantine break in the Cathedral, he speaks with Georgiy to try to get him to forgive Rubin for his actions with Simon's body. Georgiy instead speaks cryptically about "the lens of Focus" and believes his brother Simon is still alive, regardless of whatever guilt Rubin claims to have. He sends the Bachelor away, ruminating on the possibility of his brother's survival.

    On Day 10, Katerina Saburova tells the Bachelor that she felt Simon Kain's presence at the Crucible. After talking to Rubin, the Bachelor decides to personally investigate and speak with the Kains. Maria and Georgiy talk as though they have become different people. Georgiy speaks directly to the Bachelor as Simon, acknowledging that they never had the chance to meet as they had intended to. Victor will provide some explanation as to what is occurring: that the souls of those departed have been occupying spaces like the Polyhedron and the Cathedral, and that they are seeking to return to physical bodies. He asks the Bachelor to spread the rumour that Georgiy is going insane to cover for this phenomenon.

    On Day 11, the Kains request the Bachelor to assist with Maria's transition into becoming a Mistress. Maria's wing will be locked and inaccessible. Victor tells the Bachelor that new Mistresses need to be recognised and requests that he bring tokens of acknowledgement from the other future Mistresses, Capella and the Changeling. After the Bachelor obtains the items, he will find a crowd of people in front of Maria's wing. They will tell him to take the items to Nina's tomb. The following day, the decision about the town will be made, and "Georgiy" and his fellow Kains will urge the Bachelor to preserve the Polyhedron.

    It is heavily suggested that Simon remains in Georgiy's body following the end of the Bachelor Route, regardless of whether the Utopian Ending is chosen or not.[5]

    Haruspex Route Georgiy only speaks with the Haruspex on Day 8. He sends a letter asking the Haruspex to visit him, advising that he give up Vlad the Younger to Taya Tycheek and the furious Kin in the Termitary, suggesting that it is more beneficial to leave leadership of the Olgimskys to Big Vlad. The Haruspex can do this for a monetary reward from Georgiy or give up Big Vlad instead.

    On Day 12, as all residents of the Crucible are members of the Bachelor's Bound, there is a chance that Georgiy will become infected and have an Executor stationed outside of his wing. If the player wishes for the Bachelor to join them in the Cathedral, they must cure him with a shmowder or panacea.

    Changeling Route On Day 1, Alexander Saburov asks the Changeling to question Georgiy Kain. He will refuse to speak to the Changeling until she has met with Maria Kaina. After talking to Maria, the Changeling can question Georgiy. As she learns the strength of her hypnosis powers, she comes to the discovery that Georgiy never truly loved his so-called "twin brother" Simon, and that they were never as close as he proclaims them to have been.

    On Day 3, after finding Stanislav Rubin, the Changeling can choose to betray him and tell the Kains where he is. Should she do this, she can tell the truth to Georgiy, who will be furious, and the Changeling will suffer a Reputation loss.

    On Day 5, the Changeling must find Georgiy and ask him to forgive Rubin for taking Simon Kain's body in order to learn about the vaccines that Rubin and the Bachelor have made. Georgiy says he will receive it for as long as he surrenders himself after his medical success. Georgiy also says that he knows Katerina is vouching for her, and that the Changeling is being recognised as a future Mistress among the powers of the town.

    On Day 9, the Inquisitor asks the Changeling to investigate the Polyhedron and to tell the Kains that it is the cause of the epidemic. Georgiy will ask her to find out what happened to Simon Kain's blood. He will send her to the Termitary, to let Rubin know that he has ultimately been forgiven, and wants her to discover what has happened to Simon's blood. In exchange, Georgiy will help her into the Polyhedron.

She is a pale and bleary-eyed little girl.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Corpus 8 Screenshots 9 Official Art 10 Notes 11 References Description “ Appearance: A tall girl with tousled ash-colored hair. She has long arms and legs, and rounded, protruding shoulders. She inhales deeply and pants, as if she is having difficulty swallowing oxygen or trying to hold back approaching sobs. Her breath is surprisingly fresh, even as if fragrant, but sweetish, which is eerie considering her occupation. Her chest heaves all the time. Grace's voice is deep, sonorous, but not too loud either. Pose: Standing, wringing her arms and pressing them to her chest.

    Personality: Grace is completely abnormal. She communicates with the dead more than with the living. She's been attending graves ever since her early childhood, which, of course, affected her psyche. She serves as a guardian spirit to the local cemetery, much like Mother Superior to the Termitary. She talks to the dead a lot; occasionally, she sits beside a grave and sings. She makes nightly rounds, brings gifts to the dead, strange tokens at times: for example, a typewriter carriage or birthday cake with lit candles.

    She has an ear for music, but does not play any instrument. She sings mesmerisingly, but intermittently, as if suffocating. She feels the consequences of the disease like no one else does. But in her eyes, the relationship with the world of the dead is so volatile that she isn't bothered much by the dead seeping into the world of the living; it's something scary, but reasonable.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] Since early childhood, she's talked to the dead more than the living. This greatly impacted her psyche, with many citizens believing that she cares more for the deceased than those who are alive. However, Capella claims that Grace is just lonely. She has been addicted to twyrine since she was young and shows a great reliance on the substance.

    She speaks to the graves constantly, sitting around them and singing songs. Grace is musical, but does not play any instrument – she sings beautifully but haltingly. When night falls, she brings the dead gifts that they enjoy: flowers, typewriters, or even cakes. Since she has lived in the cemetery her entire life, she has a sense of apathy towards the concept of death. She even views the outbreak of the plague with disinterest, only planning on how to best plan new graves.

    Background Since childhood, Grace has been accustomed to two things: the dead and twyrine. Her father, a cemetery caretaker, watered the graves with milk and sugar, while her mother swept the gravestones with her hair. Grace's father abused twyrine, forcing both his wife and young daughter to also drink. It is said that this led to his death and to the current state of his daughter.[2]

    As Grace has been accustomed to caring for the graves since she was young, she chose to continue her father's work after he passed on.

    Appearance Grace is a sad young girl with a mournful look on her face. She has short blonde hair cut to her chin and grey eyes. Her eyes appear puffy and reddened, as if she were just finished crying. Her dress reaches the floor and is a light blue, with puffy, long sleeves and a green hem. She wears a grey vest with silver buttons and plain grey shoes.

    Portrait Quotes KaterinaHDportrait.jpg "She speaks to the dead. Sometimes you can find her sitting by a grave and humming a lullaby. She offers them gifts too, quite unusual sometimes: typewriter carriages, say, of birthday cakes with candles lit. She obviously has a great affinity for music, but plays no instruments. Her singing is enchanting but raspy, as if she was short of breath."

    —Katerina's take on her. AspityHDportrait.jpg "Grace is nuts, plain and simple. You can easily recognize her by the breath; she inhales deeply, loudly, and... hoarsely, as though it's hard for her to take air in or as though she was about to break into tears. Her breath is fresh though, clean, even sweet-scented somewhat. That is actually rather uncanny considering her line of trade. And she talks to me as though I were dead too."

    —Aspity's take. Plot Button.png Your stuffing's coming out. This entry is written half-heartedly. It should be reworked. Reason: While the following information is complete, it could use some cleaning up. We want the Pathologic plot entries to feel more detailed, in-depth information about how the characters react to events, as well as providing context for quests and interactions, rather than just stating when they appear. Bachelor Route On Day 2, the Bachelor is directed to the cemetery to speak with Grace at Sticky's urging. She will explain more about what a shabnak-adyr is and give him a lockpick.

    On Day 3, while visiting the cemetery, the Bachelor may speak to Grace and take a shmowder from her, or refuse and gain a Reputation increase.

    On Day 6, while looking for the Changeling, the Bachelor will be sent by Katerina Saburova to speak to Grace at the cemetery. Missing information.

    On Day 12, as Grace is one of the Haruspex's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed inside the cemetery in front of Grace's lodge, with Grace infected inside. If the player wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Grace a shmowder or a panacea to cure her.

    Haruspex Route On Day 1, an injured man – a man the Haruspex himself wounded – can be found in Grace's lodge in the cemetery. Grace asks the Haruspex to save the man through a blood transfusion. To save the man, the Haruspex will need to have his blood drawn by Var in the Atrium so that a blood transfusion can be performed.

    On Day 10, if the Haruspex chooses to investigate the occurrence at the Bone Stake Lot, he will have to talk to Grace at the cemetery about what to do with the auroch. However, when he arrives at the cemetery, he will find that Grace has gone missing and another girl is inside Grace's lodge, as Grace has been captured by the army. After rescuing Grace, she will return to her lodge in the cemetery.

    Following the Termite Ending, Capella states that Grace will become one of the rulers of the town, continuing to manage the burial of the dead. She will become known as the Beige Mistress.[3]

    Changeling Route On Day 1, Changeling wakes up in the cemetery after experiencing a strange dream. She can find Grace alongside Katerina Saburova inside Grace's lodge. Missing information.

    On Day 2, Katerina Saburova will request that the Changeling convince Grace to change to the beliefs of the Humbles. The Changeling brings a flower, a loaf of bread, and a bottle of milk to the cemetery as gifts for Grace. While speaking to Grace, the Changeling learns that Grace knows there is to be a plague, one she believes is the result of transgressions against an unknown higher power – a theory Katerina also shares.

    On Day 5, Grace will give the Changeling more details on when and where she can meet someone who is said to be her best friend.

    On Day 6, the Changeling receives a letter from the Albino, who says he must leave the town. Distressed, the Changeling seeks out Grace for advice. Missing information.

    On Day 12, as Grace is one of the Haruspex's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed inside the cemetery in front of Grace's lodge, with Grace infected inside. If the player wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Grace a shmowder or a panacea to cure her.

    Spoken Dialogue Main article: Grace/Spoken Dialogue

    Corpus “ The position of the cemetery caretaker has been passed on for over three generations. However, there is no evidence to support the idea of this position being caste or ritual. Since the foundation of the stone town, the cemetery was kept by a variety of people, and not only steppe dwellers were among them. The current caretaker is actually one of the late settlers. Therefore, it would be foolish to justify the strange behaviour of the keepers of recent years by attributing it to the local death cult. In fact, people of the steppe do not have a death cult as such; it is integrated into the complex cult of the Earth. The inhabitants of the steppe are afraid of their dead and take them for filth. They consider the custom of burying the deceased in the ground to be barbaric and only grant this honour to the most revered. Moreover, they accompany the process of forced desecration of the Earth with numerous cleansing rites. Some primitive peoples look upon their dead just as if they were living. Their mythology did not create a world where the dead can wait for resurrection or meeting with the living. Unable to preserve the voices and feelings of the dead and not believing in the forthcoming meeting with their beloved ancestors, these people try to save their ashes, endowing the bones with the qualities of the deceased. In this way, they create an illusion of the person's presence in everyday life. But this is not typical of our steppe people.

    I presume that the strange, warm, almost animal care that the current keeper shows towards the dead has nothing to do with rituals or traditions. The desire to care for the dead the way the keeper does – to comfort them, to warm them with his heartfelt warmth – comes from the depths of the human soul. The keeper treats the dead in this way because he sees no alternative. It is unlikely that he loves the dead, but I'm sure he feels them too well to be indifferent to them.

    I think the reason for such heart-rending attitude towards the pain of the dead stems solely from the abuse of twyrine and smoking the resinous roots of saviur. It is impossible to explain it otherwise, because the keeper is no madman, but a completely sane person. Twyrine sharpened his senses. By exceeding the allowed dosage of twyrine, living in a scarcely populated area of the town, among the wide variety of herbs, the keeper learnt too much about the torment of the dead that the living aren't supposed to know. He began to feel the awful, hopeless pain of the motionless dead with his skin, his nerves, and therefore, he tries to ease it by feeding them sugar and pouring warm milk on their graves. I think that their pain was transmitted to him and shocked the man. He drowns his sorrows in twyrine, but his senses sharpen even more, and the intensity of suffering becomes overwhelming!

    The caretaker raised his daughter, Grace, in the same spirit. To make them more aware of the needs of the dead, the keeper first introduced his wife to twyrine and later his child. The baneful influence of the herbs also affected his family members. Their ears are extremely sensitive, and the hairs on their skin seem to move from the slightest stirring on the cemetery ground. His wife used to be a pretty woman in her youth, but later looked like a creature from the other side. By the time her hair turned grey, she had grown it to be so dense and heavy that it covered her whole body. On the back, it reached the ground, and on the front, it fell below her waist in a continuous wave. Her nails hardened, and the skin on her hands dried out from the constant digging of soil.

    Naturally, the unfortunate family can no longer treat the dead in any other way than as their loved ones, perhaps immobile, but present at all times. The three live and sleep almost hugging the dead. The Earth, filled with buried people, lulls them on its porous palm; and at night, when the town sleeps, the steppe is immersed in darkness, and not a single extraneous sound disturbs the silence of this night, they, intoxicated with twyrine, press their ears against their beds and fall asleep, listening to the sounds of the Earth. From above, cold stars look at them from the bottomless cosmic darkness. The dead surround them on all sides. Sometimes, having just buried a person who was still breathing in the morning, and finished the memorial meal on a fresh grave, they hear the new neighbour tossing and turning.

    Hearing the dead talk and feeling their pain, the caretaker can no longer forget about his charges. He cares for them because he feels with every molecule of his body that their existence has not ceased. Perhaps, now he considers this care not his urgent need, but an unpleasant but essential duty.

He is the son of Isidor Burakh, a menkhu deeply rooted in local folklore and tradition, but also someone trying to find his place within it.

Known by their hands, for they are butchers; known by their eyes, for they are surgeons; they who follow the lines; they who are the leaders of the Kin; they who speak to udurghs; they who know the secret art of haruspicy. What is a haruspex? Reading the future in the entrails, he knows that a body bears semblance to the Universe. His scalpel follows the lines of the body; his steps follow the lines of his kin's fortune. A haruspex that can tell a true line from a false one is entrusted with power. A haruspex who is confused by his path gets buried into the deep black flesh of the Earth. This is the story of a person who has avoided the contradiction eager to rip a doomed life apart, masterfully fulfilling his true purpose in the process.

    „

    — Character selection screen As a haruspex, an oynon, and the only heir to the greatest local shaman, Isidor Burakh, Artemy is a member of a menkhu family, which, according to local custom, gives him the ancestral right to dissect bodies.

    Artemy is a severe, restrained man with a sharp gaze. He tells rough, even cruel jokes and is generally sarcastic. Those who fear him believe he smells of blood. Nevertheless, Artemy is straightforward, honest, and comes to the rescue in times of need. He resorts to violence only when it comes to matters of duty and honour.

    “ He stands out from the crowd, my friend... You will know him at once. He is quiet—unlike the others... and has a Steppe phenotype. There's a deep wrinkle on his forehead. He'll wear protective garments... I bet they'll be stained... with blood. „

    — Big Vlad, Bachelor Route, Day 3 One day, Artemy receives a letter from his father warning him of an impending danger and urging him to swiftly return home.[3] Upon doing so, Artemy discovers that his father is dead, gets blamed for the murder of another man, and is forced to fight to clear his name and uncover the nature of the doom that is about to engulf his hometown.

    Background “ Artemy Burakh is coming back to his home town after an absence of ten years. Born to a family endowed with a caste right to cut living beings open, he was preparing himself for this line of work since childhood. Artemy's father, Isidor Burakh, a wise man and a philosopher well-respected by the locals, had admitted to the limits of traditional knowledge and sent his son off to study modern medicine in the academy. Artemy has been travelling from town to town learning theoretical and practical surgery for several years now. Suddenly a mysterious letter appears with his father giving him notice of his impending demise and begging Artemy to return and accept succession. Unwilling to wait for a regular freight train, Artemy follows the rails through the Steppe until he's caught up with by a small shunt locomotive. This is how young Haruspex arrives in the Town.

    „

    — Sacrifice He left the town at the age of sixteen to study surgery in the Capital.[1][4] He has been described as a vagrant scholar, having lived in various places while pursuing his medical education. He returned home at his father's request, but not much else is known about Burakh's background.

    Appearance The Haruspex has short, scruffy blond hair and visible stubble on his face. His light blue eyes convey an intense stare. He wears a brown butcher's outfit, made from thick brown leather and knitted wool, with several leather straps crossing his body around his neck and chest. A large brown pouch rests on the smock that covers his stomach. He wears grey pants with heavy beige work boots and black gloves.

    One of the Herb Brides notes that Artemy smells like autumn earth and the smoke of burnt leaves.[5]

    Gameplay Abilities Unlike the other two playable characters, the Haruspex starts with no weapons and can only use what he acquires during the game. Artemy is the only playable character who can take organs from deceased bodies, as local tradition holds that only the menkhu are allowed to perform such dissections. He can trade these organs with the Hunchback for medical supplies.

    Additionally, he can gather herbs and trade them with odonghe, unlike the other characters. Both organs and herbs are useful for brewing healing tinctures in the distiller he inherited from his father. The Haruspex can also gamble on rat races or fight in the Ring of Suok for rewards.

    Plot Bachelor Route The Haruspex initially remains elusive, appearing only in the accounts of others until several days have passed. The Bachelor hears accusations that he has murdered his father, but also learns that his benefactors believe he is innocent.

    On Day 5, the Bachelor seeks assistance in retrieving a living heart for his vaccine, leading to the Haruspex's rescue from the basement of the Butchering Room, where he has been imprisoned at the orders of Alexander Saburov. Though the Haruspex is focused on his own goal of creating a panacea, he agrees to help the Bachelor. Later, he can be found in the Termitary working on his panacea.

    On Day 7, the Bachelor receives a letter from the Haruspex requesting an Executor's cloak and a talon mask. The Haruspex also warns him not to give these items to the Changeling, should she make the same request of him. He will never appear to collect the items, allowing the Bachelor to keep them for his own usage.

    On Day 8, Vlad the Younger informs the Bachelor that a fake panacea is being produced and distributed inside the Termitary under the Bachelor's name. The Bachelor locates the Haruspex in a room on the first floor, right next to the Termitary entrance. The Haruspex directs the Bachelor to several Worms responsible for producing the counterfeit panacea, and the Bachelor can decide whether to punish them.

    On Day 9, the Inquisitor asks the Bachelor to find the Haruspex. He finds him in the Long Block of the Termitary, in the same room where he encountered the Worms the previous day.

    On Day 12, at 9:00, the Haruspex writes to the Bachelor claiming that he knows what to do, but is running out of time. He can be found in the Butchering Room, the same location where he was held captive on Day 5.

    Missing information.

    Haruspex Route Main article: Haruspex Route Artemy's main objective is to fulfil his father's obligations. His route is called "Sacrifice".

    As an oynon, or sage, he cannot allow the debts of his family to remain unsettled. If they are, he will lose his title rights. The Haruspex relies upon the traditions and wisdom of his ancestors; above all, he is a menkhu, regardless of how long he has lived in the Capital.

    Every day, he works towards creating a panacea in the hope of curing the Sand Plague, believing that the future of the town rests on the survival of those who are Bound to him. Whether this is true depends on one's disposition.

    Changeling Route On Day 1, the Changeling has a quest to improve her reputation by healing a man the Haruspex injured. She finds him at his lair in the Works and learns that the man escaped and crawled up the river. By following Anna Angel's quest, the Changeling asks Notkin about the Haruspex and can acquire a double barrelled pistol.

    On Day 2, the Changeling needs to investigate Aspity, who refuses to speak until she brings the Haruspex. He is in his lair. Later that day, during Anna Angel's quest, the Changeling discovers the effectiveness of the Haruspex's tinctures by speaking with some Worms and Andrey Stamatin.

    On Day 3, the Changeling may talk to the Bachelor and learn that he is looking for the Haruspex. If the Changeling speaks to the Haruspex, he will offer her twyrine extracts in exchange for keeping his location a secret. She may then return to the Bachelor and either reveal the Haruspex's location for a reward or lie about it.

    On Day 4, the Changeling receives a letter from Lara Ravel stating that the Haruspex is being hunted, and she asks for help. The Changeling then speaks to Alexander Saburov, who requests her assistance in the Haruspex's arrest. Once the Haruspex is found, the Changeling can either warn him about Saburov's trap (to fulfil Lara's quest) or lure him into the trap (to fulfil Saburov's).

    On Day 7, the Inquisitor arrives. Saburov instructs the Changeling to investigate why the Bachelor and the Inquisitor are in town. While speaking to the Bachelor, he advises her to talk to the Haruspex for more information about the Inquisitor. The Haruspex is found in the Short Block of the Termitary, and the Changeling exchanges an Executor's cloak for information about the Inquisitor.

    While conversing with the Bachelor, the Changeling learns that the Haruspex has killed a Herb Bride. Her husband, a Worm, seeks revenge and has asked the Bachelor for help. The Bachelor then gives the Changeling a sawn-off shotgun to deliver to the Worm.

    When speaking to the Haruspex, the Changeling discovers that a family has been hurt by the Bachelor's actions. The Haruspex gives her five bottles of twyrine to take to the family.

    Haruspex Steam badge Haruspex Steam badge Notes In the original draft of Pathologic, his name was Artemy Kryuk, as "крюк" translates to "hook" in Russian.[6][7] This surname was retained for one of the menkhu families in the town.[8] The Haruspex's appearance is based on Nikolay Dybowski, the former head of Ice-Pick Lodge. The practice of haruspicy was a religious process dating back to ancient Babylon, in which a religious figure known as a "haruspex" was trained to inspect the entrails of sacrificed animals. The belief was that these entrails contained supernatural messages and prophecies.[9] In the game, Burakh employs haruspicy to find a cure for the Sand Plague. There's a scrapped soundtrack titled "Haruspex is all alone". While it is not included in the game, it can be found on the Pathologic website.[10] References Haruspex: I left the town when I was sixteen, so I've got an education in the civilized world and have forgotten two thirds of the specific local practices. —⁠ ⁠Haruspex Route, Day 9 Artemy Burakh is coming back to his home town after an absence of ten years. —⁠ ⁠Sacrifice The Letter Concerning the Inheritance Taya Tycheek: I believe you.

I know how to make herbs lush. „

    — Dancer Girl, Haruspex Route, Day 5 The Brides are virgin women who can communicate with the Earth. Tasked with loving the Earth, they also serve as midwives.[1] While not as powerful as Mistresses, they possess supernatural abilities.[5] Their song and dance has the power to bring herbs out of the Earth, which they practice nude in the Steppe, typically at night. Brides only achieve their title and begin practicing herb cultivation when they come of age.[4]

    Traditionally, Herb Brides are only allowed to couple with odonghe. Brides are frequently bought and traded between them, though are not considered to belong to the odongh they choose to pair with.[6][7] Their odonghe profit from them, since the Brides are the only ones who are able to nurture the herbs and provide a good harvest. Despite such odongh and Bride pairs being regarded as couples, they are not permitted to sleep with one another.[6]

    Many Brides have defected from their cultivation practice, opting to sexualise their traditional dance before audiences hosted in the Factus Est. Some of these defected Brides sleep with men; these practises are seen as unacceptable among the Kin, who blame Stamatin for leading these Brides towards neglecting the Earth.[8]

    The Brides claim that the Sand Plague doesn't affect them the same way as it does others. If a Herb Bride gets infected with the Plague, she will recover quickly unless the infection is too severe. In that case, the Bride will die. However, a sick Herb Bride cannot infect anyone else.[9]

NPC Citizen3 b.png Name Isidor Burakh (Исидор Бурах) Nickname Uncle Isidor[1] (Дедушка Исидор) Oynon Burakh[2] (Ойнон Бурах) Faction The Kin Age Unknown Status Deceased Family Artemy Burakh (son) Voice Russian Voice Rogvold Sukhoverko Isidor Burakh was a traditional healer, a menkhu, and the father of Artemy Burakh.

    Background To start the story of Isidor, one must describe the extraordinary sacrifice that he offered to become a menkhu: he did not kill a man, as was expected of him, but instead took a scythe and cut a field of nine-year swevery, from which blood suddenly poured. So much blood erupted that a swamp was formed, and the Guzzle was engorged with blood for two days. Thus, the sacrifice was made.

    About Isidor's later life, only a few scant mentions can be found. However, one thing is certain: he enjoyed great prestige among the townspeople. People of very different ranks and statuses speak of him in the same reverent, respectful tone: from a patrolman to Big Vlad. And one of Isidor's disciples, Stanislav Rubin, demonstrates commitment to his teacher in word and deed even after his death. Children also loved Isidor.

    “ Well, you know... We were sort of mates with the old guy... er, I mean your father... sir... He spent a lot of time with us kids, was going to teach us things after we grow up. He made a lot of cool stuff, but showed us very little. We were sort of curious—you gotta be curious when you make friends with a Warden. „

    — Sticky, Haruspex Route, Day 1 First and foremost, Isidor was known among the townspeople as the man who fought the First Outbreak of the Sand Plague by boarding up the Crude Sprawl. At the same time, he created and tested a variety of twyrine extracts and, apparently, a panacea.

    He also tried to prevent a second outbreak, and for this purpose, he buried the infected blood extracted from the bowels in the Steppe. However, he infected himself. But in Isidor's case, it wasn't the plague that played a fatal role.

    Spoiler warning: Click to reveal significant details For the manufacture of panaceas, he needed the blood of an auroch, which could only be obtained in the bowels of the Abattoir. But in order to gain access to the Abattoir, it was necessary to overthrow the current Foreman Oyun. In the attempt, Isidor was killed by Oyun. Significant details end here. Be that as it may, realising that a new plague approached, Isidor sent a farewell message to his son in the Capital, asking him to save a certain creature, labelled with a brand. Since then, the story of Artemy Burakh began.[3]

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenshots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: a tall woman with a classy posture. She has very long, straight, dark hair. Katerina possesses the mores of a predator; her movements are slow but alert. Personality: Katerina is more of "a ruler" than "a ruler's wife", but she can skillfully combine both. Smart, patient, a good listener. She makes a perfect match for her husband, even though their marriage is built on affinity and respect rather than love. Katerina is a good judge of character; she is able firmly say "no". The Humble ideology occurred to her naturally, influenced by the inner sense of discomfort resulting from the complete loss of moral bearings. After the deaths of Nina Kaina, the Black Mistress, and Victoria Olgimskaya, the White Mistress, young Saburova was left as the only Mistress of the town, having a hard time choosing sides. Previously, she served as an independent arbiter to the opposition of the other two, then heartily filled the vacancy of the "infernal" Nina. After Victoria's death, she was left on her own and rushed to good, but it was too late. The evil seeds grew strong roots in her soul. Her games with the poltergeist (Rat Prophet), who appeared to her as both her inner voice and a character of prophetic dreams, went too far. As a result, the poor woman who wanted to become a Mistress so badly was deceived. The Rat Prophet indoctrinated her with the idea that the town's demise is inevitable and fighting it would be as pointless as resisting the onset of winter.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts [5] Katerina is much weaker than the forces of the deceased Mistresses. Unlike them, she is neither dark nor light, torn between two principles. Her words are vague; they cannot be expressed clearly, since, according to her, details distort the essential meaning and devalue what is said. Many citizens doubt the truth of her prophecies, in part due to her morphine addiction.[6]

    However, despite Katerina's dubious ability, some citizens trust her visions. According to Capella, the visions of Katerina are true in general, but the little things are often distorted, such as specific details and unclear concepts. Katerina herself knows this and thus refuses to clearly and unequivocally formulate her prophecies.

    At night, she is visited by the strange Rat Prophet, who whispers to her and influences her prophecies.

    Background Her position as a Mistress was held alongside Nina Kaina and Victoria Olgimskaya, the Mistresses of Dark and Light, respectively. While both were alive, she occupied an intermediate position. After the death of Nina, she began to play the role of Mistress of the Dark, but after Victoria's death, she could not revert to the light.

    Appearance Katerina has long black hair and intense grey eyes. She wears a dark purple dress with lace sleeves, decorated with silver accents and with a black shawl over her shoulders. Her gloves and skirt are a similar purple colour to her gown, and she wears silver heels.

    Portrait Quotes AspityHDportrait.jpg "A queen turned witch. That's what you get for dabbling with the spirits of the night. After Nina died, Katerina shamelessly rushed to take the place of the Dark Mistress; the burden of caring for the town was Victoria's, so petty games were still allowed. She got carried away though... Rumour has it, she needs daily morphine injections and welcomes cold-skinned visitors in her alcove at night..."

    —Aspity's take on her. LaraHDportrait.jpg "Katerina took a hard hit and managed to pull through. Who could survive between Nina's rock and Victoria's hard place? That's how the town worked back then—upon this rock Nina was forging it, while Victoria maintained a firm stance to keep it in check; Katerina was the one to ensure the balance was in place. I also admire how much Alexander and she love each other. They could have been the grand kings of old—noble, resolute, and honest. Now is simply the wrong time for them."

    —Lara Ravel's take. Plot Button.png Your stuffing's coming out. This entry is written half-heartedly. It should be reworked. Reason: While the following information is complete, it could use some cleaning up. We want the Pathologic plot entries to feel more detailed, in-depth information about how the characters react to events, as well as providing context for quests and interactions, rather than just stating when they appear. Bachelor Route On Day 1, if the Bachelor does not make progress in the main quest, Katerina will send him a letter warning him that the shabnak-adyr plans on killing him.[7]

    On Day 5, Bachelor can appeal to the Saburovs to release the Haruspex, although unsuccessfully. However, Katerina Saburova will let slip that he may be near his lair at the Works.

    On Day 6, the Bachelor travels to the Rod looking for Clara to take her blood. Katerina Saburova will tell the Bachelor that there is another girl, a changeling, impersonating her foster-daughter, the real Clara, and that the changeling is the real culprit of the Sand Plague. She sends the Bachelor to speak with Grace.

    On Day 10, the Bachelor will receive a letter from Katerina.[8] She tells him that she felt the spirit of Simon Kain at the Crucible.

    On Day 12, as Katerina Saburova is one of the Changeling's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of the Rod.

    Haruspex Route On Day 8, Georgiy Kain will direct the Haruspex to Katerina to report Vlad the Younger's potential execution. Katerina will tell him that the Saburovs cannot intervene and directs the Haruspex to Taya Tycheek.

    On Day 10, the Haruspex can ask Katerina for her interpretation of the udurgh, following a disagreement with the Bachelor, as he believes that Simon Kain could have been the udurgh. As a Mistress, Katerina is uniquely reliable in decoding the mysteries of the world. Katerina, through her usual vagaries, informs the Haruspex that he is to destroy a woman – one who loves him already – and that he is to be required to give a proportional sacrifice of some kind.. She then concedes that some men are larger than others, not disproving the Bachelor's theory, but not exactly confirming it either.

    On Day 12, as Katerina Saburova is one of the Changeling's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of the Rod.

    Changeling Route Throughout the Changeling Route, in contrast to the commands of her husband, Katerina appeals to Clara to convince her to spare the ones that Alexander is scorning. She encourages her to prove the innocence of the people that the town requires, be it through their expertise or the role they will play in the coming days. While it does seem that she holds a maternal love for Clara, it is soon spoiled when the truth of her prophecies is revealed, that the Rat Prophet whispers secrets to her from the earth, as a means to corrupt her.

    On Day 1, the Changeling can visit Alexander Saburov at the Rod after healing the wounded man at the Willows. He will direct the Changeling to speak to Katerina Saburova in her wing. After proving herself to him, Saburov will ask her to visit Georgiy Kain, and the Changeling will ask Katerina for help.

    On Day 2, Katerina instructs the Changeling to grow close to Grace. She tells the Changeling that if she needs to learn more about her, Lara Ravel is the person who will tell her what she needs to know. Katerina explains that there is to be a great punishment soon and that the only ones spared will be those who follow the path of Humility. Katerina requests the Changeling to speak to Grace to convince her of the ideology of the Humbles, as Grace has become especially dear to her. While speaking to Grace, the Changeling learns that Grace knows there is to be a plague, one she believes is the result of transgressions against an unknown higher power – a theory Katerina also shares.

    On Day 3, Katerina will ask the Changeling to speak to Eva Yan, similar to her request the previous day. She believes that Eva's following of the Utopian faith is heresy and wishes to convert her to Humility. Katerina explains that she believes Eva is gentle and weak and will be easily swayed. Unbeknownst to her, however, Eva holds her Utopian ideals much too closely to ever be swayed from them. She may, however, still give a sacrifice – though the implication is that her sacrifice will be for Utopia, not for Humility. The Changeling can tell Katerina of this, or, instead, she may lie and say that Eva was swayed to Humility.

    On Day 4, Katerina will ask the Changeling to speak to Mark Immortell at the Theatre to tell him not to allow the Theatre to be turned into a hospital, as well as to lead him away from Utopian ideology. Though Mark is not in the Theatre and can instead be found in the Crucible alongside Maria Kaina, he will tell the Changeling that if she insists on trusting Katerina, she ought to know the truth about her visions.

    On Day 5, Katerina is focused on converting Peter Stamatin and will direct her to speak with him. Peter is initially interested in the concept, but refuses, following his brother's refusal to convert.

    On Day 6, Katerina will ask the Changeling to speak to Capella to get close to Vlad the Younger in order to convince him to become a Humble. Katerina notes that although he seems to love money most of all, he must have other weaknesses, as he does not appear to be digging the well for profit. Through Capella, the Changeling is able to get close to Vlad the Younger, though he has already decided to die on his own terms and is planning to face the Kin in the Termitary. Later, when the rumour spreads that a girl resembling Changeling is a carrier of the plague, Katerina and her husband cast Clara from their home.

    On Day 11, as part of the Changeling's Bound, Katerina Saburov may be chosen to be spoken to in relation to the Humble sacrifice. Before she is to die, she tells the Changeling that she regrets how she treated her and that she loves her deeply. As with all Humbles, Katerina can be chosen as a sacrifice in the Changeling Route, but may also be selected to be one of the surviving two Bound. Katerina's appearance is based on Varda Golovanova.[9] References Vlad Olgimsky: A well-respected one. Do you remember the Saburovs? I doubt that... Katerina isn't that much older than you. Katerina, Alexander Saburov's wife. She has extraordinary talents... Precognitive, dare I say… No one questions them… That much is certain. —⁠ ⁠Haruspex Route, Day 1 Katerina Saburova: It turned out then that Nina was harbouring plans concerning this place... And the Kains' elders, Georgiy and Simon, had certainly impressed her... To put it briefly, Nina became the ruler of this land. I was only—what?—fifteen at the time... Yes, Nina died eleven years ago. —⁠ ⁠Changeling Route, Day 1 Anna Angel: They very much are. Katerina has only just turned thirty. As for fervency... she has quite an exquisite temper, just so you know. Morphine in her head and passion in her blood, oh, she's capable of many things. A demonic woman. —⁠ ⁠Bachelor Route, Day 6 Haruspex: This is the home of Mistress Katerina. She had a true vision about me recently.

    Keys: Kaspar Kain, Kaspar, Khan

    Khan/Pathologic < Khan OriginalTemplate.png This entry details content exclusive to Pathologic Classic HD.

He is the leader of the children's gang known as the Dogheads.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 2.1 Dogheads 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Gallery 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: "Angry child". Constantly frowning, scowling, sullen-faced, focused. Speaks in a quiet, squeaky voice, forcing others to listen closely. Flaunts a distinctly "childish" appearance. He has a full head of fluffy hair with low-hanging bangs. Dresses like a kid. Hardly ever smiles. Pose: Seated with his legs dangling on a wooden chair with high armrests.

    Personality: A brutal child. Not merciless like his sister, but brutal. The Kains have a family trait that each family member demonstrates in a different way. This is a sort of detached amorality that is common among people in a state of narcotic intoxication. In the older Kains, it has turned into the harshness of rulers who cannot afford such a luxury as sensitivity. Maria (whom Kaspar worships, as she has always been the best sister in the world) lacks compassion, intertwined with the charm of the magical trance in which she constantly exists. One cannot blame a birthday girl, a person in love, or a dancer for being cruel. And in Khan, this trait revealed itself in the phenomenon of the inexplicable childish anger. This is a mandrake that grew in specific greenhouse conditions; when an initially powerful and intelligent child gets the opportunity to do large-scale evil deeds, without being able to foresee what price he would have to pay for them. He is a courageous boy, deserving of respect. Like all other Kains, he has been professionally involved in black magic since childhood and keeps secrets that have repeatedly proven to be rather effective. He rarely resorts to them, though, and does not share his knowledge. Khan is the dark leader of the children; he has many supporters.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[2] Khan is a smart, domineering, and exceptionally brave child. Like the rest of his family, he commands much respect. He determines who is allowed into the Polyhedron.

    He is organised and militaristic – he is greatly interested in historic battles and war, and others have even imagined him becoming "the next General Ashes" on the frontlines. He is quick to rally his Dogheads into action and doesn't shy from the idea of sending them into armed skirmishes: before the start of the epidemic, he was planning to wage a war against Notkin. Later, he even prepares to challenge the arriving army, viewing the military's artillery as a threat to the Polyhedron and the children within.

    While he has a strained relationship with his father, he regards his older sister well, and she seems to be the only adult he will allow to enter the Tower.

    Background He is the "uncrowned prince" of the Dogheads and has many followers both inside the Polyhedron and out. Among the children, he is a pragmatic ruler: this social power is split with Capella. He was formerly close friends with Notkin until Notkin disobeyed him and was ousted from the Tower. This sparked the bitter rivalry between Notkin's Soul-and-a-Halves and Khan's Dogheads.

    By the start of the Second Outbreak, he had been living in the Polyhedron for some time, rather than in the Kains' family mansion. His empty room can be seen in Maria's wing of the Crucible.

    Dogheads Main article: Dogheads A gang of older children from the Polyhedron that is led by Khan – their names are derived from the masks that they wear, which are sewn in the shape of a dog's head. Different Dogheads give varying explanations for the mask's purpose: some say it's meant to intimidate or protect identities, while others claim it bounces the wearer's thoughts back into his head.[3]

    Khan tasks the Dogheads with defending the town's children and gathering supplies. For example, a group of Dogheads attempted to collect the dangerous "shmowders" in circulation between younger children, since the concoction is famously known for causing the deaths of many during the First Outbreak.

    They are the rivals of the Soul-and-a-Halves. Both groups of children come into constant conflict, having nearly resorted to an open war on several occasions.

    Appearance Khan has short brown hair and a smug expression on his face. He wears a green sweater beneath a dark purple coat, as if attempting to look older than he actually is. His shorts are a purple and green plaid, with a black belt around his waist. He wears brown socks and black and white laced sneakers.

    In development images of Pathologic, Khan's suit is a dark brown, his sweater is grey, and his shorts are dark green. The Polyhedron is also brighter, with textures similar to mirrors, crystal, and glass.

    Portrait Quotes EvaHDportrait.jpg "Kaspar is the dark leader of the children. He has a lot of followers. An extraordinarily courageous boy; that alone is reason enough to respect him. Like all Kains, he's been practising Novel Art since childhood. He is privy to mysteries that often turn out to be genuine and effective. It's not often that he refers to them, sharing the knowledge quite unwillingly. Capella and he are the rulers of the children's world in our town."

    —Eva Yan's take on him. KaterinaHDportrait.jpg "He is an ivory-tower mandrake, born and bred. An imperious and smart boy that's been offered an opportunity to do deeds of an epic scale, without any regard for the price that will have to be paid for them."

    —Katerina Saburova's take. Plot Bachelor Route On Day 3, while investigating the disappearance of Simon Kain's body, the Bachelor will be able to climb the Polyhedron. At the top, he is greeted by a Doghead who warns him against entering. When the Bachelor says he is there to see Khan, he is allowed to enter the first chamber where Khan is waiting alongside several other Dogheads. Khan refuses the Bachelor's further entry and assures him that the Polyhedron is free of infection, and should anything change, he will let the Bachelor know.

    On Day 9, the Bachelor climbs the Polyhedron to speak with Khan at the request of Victor Kain. Khan will ask the Bachelor for five rifles in exchange for permission to enter the Polyhedron. He claims that if the military sees that there are children with weapons inside the Polyhedron, willing to fire on them, they'll think twice about shooting them down. Once the Bachelor gives Khan the rifles, he enters the Polyhedron. He finds many children inside, all of whom are healthy. He is mesmerised by the miraculous design of the Polyhedron, which Khan is amused and deeply proud of.

    If the player wishes for the Haruspex to be present at the Cathedral meeting on Day 11, they may be required to provide a cure to Khan to ensure he is healthy.

    Haruspex Route On Day 11, Capella will ask the Haruspex to speak with Khan. In order to enter the Polyhedron, the Haruspex requires a password that he learns from the Bachelor, "Fortified". At the top of the Polyhedron, the Haruspex will encounter three Dogheads who will let him in if he gives them the correct password. He is then allowed to enter the first chamber, where Khan is waiting. Khan speaks tersely to him, clearly frustrated with the presence of an adult in his Polyhedron.

    In the Termite Ending, Capella offers Khan a marriage contract that is expected to be fulfilled in ten years. While Khan and Capella do not like each other, they both consider it a political move that is important for the future of the tow – it would end the political unrest between the Kain family and the Olgimsky family. The married couple would become the main rulers of the town.

    Capella states that he, together with his army of Dogheads, will manage and control the town.

    Changeling Route On Day 9, the Inquisitor asks the Changeling to investigate the Polyhedron. After talking to the Kains, the Changeling will be able to climb the Tower and speak to Khan. He will allow her to enter the further chambers after they finally converse, though he seems very wary of her, questioning her true nature. Nevertheless, Khan lets her make her way to the bottom of the structure, where she is set to have a meeting.

    If the player wishes for the Haruspex to be present at the Cathedral meeting on Day 11, they may be required to provide a cure to Khan to ensure he is healthy. While a member of the Kain family – the rest of whom are Utopians – Khan is considered to be one of the Haruspex's Bound, who value the preservation of the town. "Khan" is a historic Turkic and Mongolic title originating among nomadic tribes in the Central and Eastern Eurasian Steppe to refer to a king.[4] People call him this because he is the "king" of the Polyhedron and the ruler of the Dogheads. Khan quotes a fragment of the "Tears in Rain" monologue from Ridley Scott's 1982 film Blade Runner.[5][6] Upon their first conversation, Khan quotes the opening dialogue the Bachelor speaks before the start of Pathologic to the Changeling.[7]

She has big, dewy, black eyes like prunes with long, thick eyelashes, soft lips, and a small, slightly snub nose. Her hair is black, wavy, and long. Her whole physique evokes the feeling of languish and tenderness. She has a beautiful purring voice. Her gestures are very fluent, her gait is light. She usually wears white; altogether, she seems black and white: white skin, white clothes, dark lips, black hair, black eyes. Pose: Looks through a glass of wine over the light.

    Personality: A generous and kind girl who tends to give more than she takes. She emits some inner warmth and shares it with those she likes. There is a tragic quality to this generosity, as if she is giving away presents she carefully chose for someone who never got to use them. Her house is reputed to be the cosiest and happiest place in town. It is considered an honour to be granted her friendship. Maria Kaina respects her, and Capella is fond of Lara. Lara is perceptive when it comes to giving gifts. It seems like some inner force helps her guess one's dearest wish, but only gets to hints of that mystery she keeps within herself, not daring to move further. She is very feminine. One wants to protect her, pay her back at least a bit of what she gives away with her never-ending wasteful generosity.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] Lara took an active part in countering the Sand Plague, trying to make the fight with the Plague easier for others. When she found out about children looting caches with "shmowder", Lara made sure to stop them from getting their hands on the poison. She volunteered to test the old medicine along with Yulia Lyuricheva and Anna Angel.

    While very widely liked, not everyone cares for Lara. Specifically, Aspity shows a great deal of hatred towards Lara, as Aspity believes she is deceitful.[2] Yulia Lyuricheva expresses feelings of dislike towards Lara's philosophy and outlook on the world.

    Background “ She is a woman devastated by grief. All the gifts that she is so happy to give away are, fundamentally, offerings to a dead person. She favours the living with something the dead have no use for. [...] Her philantropy⁠[sic] is almost reprehensible. She pities everyone she comes across, for she knows they will all die just like her dearly departed. She sees a corpse in everyone she looks upon. „

    — Yulia Lyuricheva, Bachelor Route, Day 1 Lara's father was a military officer who once lived together with her in the Ravel home, which was built by the Olgimskys. Little is known about the circumstances of Captain Ravel's death – he was executed after the battle at the Karstov Fords, but the public reason for this remains unknown.

    Appearance Lara has short black hair and sad blue eyes. She wears a layered lilac dress with black and white ornate flowers and golden rope trim, woven around the layers of the dress and up the centre. It is belted across her chest and stomach with golden clasps and black straps, with a similar strap around her neck where a shoulder coat covers her. A final buttoned strap pins her gown together across her lower back. The second layer of her dress is a blue skirt which reaches her ankles. She wears brown boots, laced up.

    Portrait Quotes CapellaHDportrait.jpg "She's the kindest person I know. Lara has taught me how to give presents, which is an intricate art in and of itself. The first thing she cares about is other people; the last is Lara Ravel herself. She lives for her friends. I also was fond of her father. The year before last he volunteered as a Fourth Army captain. Yes, I mean the Fourth Army."

    —Capella's take on her. RubinHDportrait.jpg "After captain Ravel was shot during the battle of Karstov Fords, newly-orphaned Lara turned her father's house into The Shelter. The house that's been built by Olgimsky in exchange for... a favour. She is both sensitive and sensible; a rare combination in our neck of the woods."

    —Stanislav Rubin's take. Plot Button.png Your stuffing's coming out. This entry is written half-heartedly. It should be reworked. Reason: We want the Pathologic plot entries to be more detailed – in-depth information about how the characters react to events, as well as providing context for quests and interactions rather than just stating when they appear. Bachelor Route “ I had to do it to protect the… privacy of certain information. The good name of a certain person… and most likely the life of another one depend on it. Surely that's reason enough? Forgive me, it's uncomfortable for me to talk about it. „

    — Lara Ravel, regarding the House of the Living, Bachelor Route Lara's good intentions often would have consequences she didn't foresee, such as the failure of her House of the Living. On Day 2, Lara wanted to create a "House of the Living", an isolation ward. Lara found an empty house, which she intended to make into a shelter. However, this plan didn't succeed as the house she had chosen was already infected. After requesting the Bachelor investigate, he declares the house unsafe.

    On Day 9, when military forces with Commander Alexander Block in charge arrive, Lara attempted to assassinate Block. However, half the town already knew about her plan, as everyone was aware that Lara was searching for a small gun. The exact reason for Lara's actions is unknown, but she reveals that she knew he had her father executed. Missing Bachelor quest detailing this event.

    “ Perhaps she believes that he represents a kind of universal evil? An ultimate annihilator who has arrived with the only purpose of reducing the town to rubble. If only he was killed, Lara thinks, it would provide us with a much needed delay. After all, the medicine was already researched, she thinks... Was it, though? „

    — Yulia Lyuricheva, Bachelor Route, Day 9 Missing information.

    Haruspex Route Missing information.

    Changeling Route Lara decided to turn her mansion into a shelter for her friends and people who would help her with the arrangement. She wanted to make the House of the Living safe enough that one could survive a month living there without leaving the place, which would protect them from the Sand Plague. After her friend, the Harpist, told her that the Shelter is too small to hold everyone interested in staying there, Lara diverged from her rule of letting in everyone in need and decided to limit it to twelve people.

    In the Humble Ending, she offers to sacrifice her life to the Changeling to save the town, along with the rest of the Humbles. Her crime of attempted murder places her under Clara's charge as one of the town's sinners, and Clara convinces her to join the sacrifice.

    Lara asks how many people she can help with her blood. She finds strength in knowing that even the most active life would not have been able to save as many as would her death.

    Missing information.

After her mother's death, she is heir to the title of Scarlet Mistress.

    Although young and her abilities not fully developed, she already has a considerable amount of mystical power. In particular, she shows the gift of foresight, predicting the arrival of the Bachelor.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenshots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: A very beautiful, demonic face. Huge eyes, sensual lips, spectacular artistic facial expressions. Rich copper hair. Long, graceful neck, back like that of a ballerina, expressive hands. Carries herself very imperiously, but without primness. Maria is very fluid in movement. She walks as though she's dancing. Her appearance is always sensual, even erotic. Pose: Walking while swaying her bare shoulders. The fingers of one hand rest on her stomach while the other hand rests on her narrow waist.

    Personality: Femme fatale. A beautiful and merciless woman. She inherited her father's authoritativeness and her mother's passion for mysticism and black magic. She is intelligent, but not intellectual. Instead, she is insightful and sensitive to falsehood and lies. She can instantly see one's true colours. She doesn't have a firm goal in mind. She is always in some kind of trance; this is a psychological tuning to the Steppe. However, she is not "blessed" like Grace. Her reflexes are good, and her facial expressions are rich. Maria is not a medium, but she has a connection to some supernatural channel through which she receives peculiar and exciting sensations. At times, she listens to that channel, but she does it delicately and imperceptibly. Just like when checking the time, some people put their wrist directly to their nose and clatter with the expensive watch's bracelet, others discreetly lower their gaze and slightly turn their wrist in their pocket. Maria is one of the latter. She loves to play with people. As a child, she enjoyed torturing animals.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] The traits typical of her mother, Nina, are vividly seen in Maria: coldness, absolute self-control, and total sobriety, with the ability to perform daring acts. A merciless and temperamental woman, character traits that she displays on occasions when her father grants her authority over the town, or when dealing with somebody she deems unworthy.

    From her father, she inherited authority, and from her mother a passion for mysticism and black magic. Maria holds a penetrating mind, a sensitivity towards falsehoods and lies, and is able to immediately grasp a person's true nature. She is not a psychic, but it's as if she has a parallel channel through which she receives interesting and exciting sensations. Periodically, she tunes in to the channel, but she does this delicately and unnoticeably.

    Maria's goals mirror those of her family's legacy: she sees her inheritance of the Scarlet Mistress as a stepping stone in preserving memory and soul, and believes her ascension is but her projected faith.

    Many people in town, such as Andrey and Peter Stamatin, deeply admire Maria and believe in her natural ascension and power. She has control over men that follow her, though it is unclear if she truly takes them as lovers or if she merely trails them along to do her bidding.

    Despite her nature, Maria does not speak ill of Capella – she actually admires her. She respects her position as future White Mistress and acknowledges their destiny to oppose and balance each other's duty.

    Background Maria is the eldest child of Victor and Nina, and grew up in the western part of the town. The Haruspex notes that he remembers her from when he was a child, though they were not close.[2] Though the circumstances of Nina's death are unclear, Maria was, at the very least, a young teenager when her mother passed. She has since dedicated her time to remembering and understanding her mother's memory and power to prepare for her ascension to Scarlet Mistress.

    She seems to have had a history with her aunt, Aglaya Lilich, and holds a great hatred and fear of her.

    Appearance Maria has long black hair that reaches her shoulders and light grey eyes. She wears a blue and purple gown with silver accents that weaves down the skirt, which is decorated with flower patterns. She wears a silver choker. She wears black heeled shoes.

    In the Utopian Ending, Maria is seen wearing a black dress with thin silver straps that weave down her arms. It has a purple skirt tied with silver belts. She continues to wear her black heels. This outfit resembles her 2004 alpha's appearance.

    Portrait Quotes AndreyHDportrait.jpg "Maria is concealing her true power for the time being, but it has already become apparent that she will stop at nothing when the time comes. Her sheer power will justify any despotism that would spring from it. The brilliance of her talent is going to surpass even Nina's one day. Maria will be grabbing stars by the handful while sipping earth's magma. And that means there are still things in this world worth living and hoping for!"

    —Andrey Stamatin's take on her. KaterinaHDportrait.jpg "Whenever I imagine what this town is going to become when she grows up, I feel nothing but dread. It took all of us to hold Nina the Terrible back—Victoria, me, and even the Kains themselves. Little Victoria will not be able to stand up to Maria on her own; I will not be staying in this world for much longer; and Victor adores her... so who will harness the midnight filly?"

    —Katerina's take. Plot Bachelor Route On Day 1, after arriving in town, the Bachelor goes to meet with Georgiy Kain. He will learn that Simon Kain died before he showed up, and is then sent to speak with Victor and Maria. Maria informs him of his crucial role in the coming days and gives him a list of individuals to protect the lives of, with her family included.

    On Day 7, the Inquisitor asks the Bachelor to help her reconcile with her niece, who happens to be Maria. When the Bachelor talks to Maria about this, she becomes upset and afraid, refusing the meeting and leaving her home. She leaves for Peter Stamatin's Studio, where she comes face to face with Aglaya. Before the women can escalate their argument, Maria runs downstairs, where she happens to meet the Bachelor. She is furious with him and says that she fears her aunt coming to ruin her future, claiming to see her at her window.

    On Day 10, Katerina Saburova tells the Bachelor that she felt Simon Kain's presence at the Crucible. The Bachelor decides to thoroughly investigate the Kain family. When he meets with the young heiress, Maria speaks as though she has become a different person. According to her, her personality has begun to disappear and merge with that of Nina's, who is settling into her daughter's mind and returning to her role of the Scarlet Mistress.

    On Day 11, the Kains request the Bachelor to assist with Maria's ascension into becoming a Mistress. Maria's wing will be locked and inaccessible. Victor tells the Bachelor that new Mistresses need to be recognised and requests that he bring tokens of acknowledgement from the other future Mistresses, Capella and the Changeling. After the Bachelor obtains the items, he will find a crowd of people in front of Maria's wing. They will tell him to take the items to Nina's tomb. There, Maria gives him a detailed and deeply metaphorical description of the new town she intends to build on the other side of the Gorkhon river. It is intentionally unclear if it is Maria speaking or if her mother's possession has become permanent.

    If Vlad the Younger lives, they will enter into a dynastic marriage together. His role will be to serve Maria as she leads the remaining people. Following the Utopian Ending, Maria is seen ruling over the new town, with an entourage of servants as she stands before the Polyhedron.

    Haruspex Route On Day 6, the Haruspex receives a letter from Victor Kain, who invites him to speak with his daughter. After being directed to her, Maria will offer an insincere apology for the way he has been treated recently, and dismiss him with a request that he retrieve a diary from her mother's grave. This diary contains unfamiliar writings, which Maria snatched away from him.

    On Day 12, as Maria is one of the Bachelor's Bound, there is a chance that she will be infected, and an Executor will be stationed outside of her wing. If the player wishes for the Bachelor to join them in the Cathedral, they must cure Maria with a shmowder or panacea.

    Changeling Route On Day 3, after finding Stanislav Rubin, the Changeling has an option to betray him and tell the Kains where he is. If she attempts to talk to Maria about this, she will infuriate her, losing her Reputation around town.

    On Day 4, Katerina Saburova asks the Changeling to convert Mark Immortell to the Humbles. She will find Mark at the Crucible with Maria Kaina, where they speak dismissively of the Changeling while she is in the room. Maria directly mocks her, saying that she is hardly impressive as a Mistress.

    On the same day, the Changeling will also receive a letter from Capella, who had a vision of something terrible happening at the Cathedral and requests the Changeling ask Maria if she also had a vision. Maria does not share her vision and tells the Changeling that Capella is blurring her thoughts together.

    On Day 7, Katerina teaches the Changeling about Mistresses and sends her to speak to the future Mistresses: Maria and Capella. Maria regards the Changeling with mild disdain, but talks with her about the future, the purpose of Mistresses, and where the Changeling will fit into her plans.

    Starting from Day 8 through Day 10, Maria Kaina will send the Changeling a letter every day asking her to look for the Bachelor and warn him that he is in danger. If the Changeling complies with her request, she can visit Maria in her wing at the Crucible for a monetary reward. Maria speaks about him with personal concern, though the Changeling suspects that she simply does not want one of her valuable players in her game to come to harm, and wonders if she even cares about the Bachelor as a person.

    On Day 12, as Maria is one of the Bachelor's Bound, there is a chance that she will be infected, and an Executor will be stationed outside of her wing. If the player wishes for the Bachelor to join them in the Cathedral, they must cure Maria with a shmowder or panacea. aria doesn't know much about the Steppe language, noted by her calling the Haruspex "olgoy" (appendicitis) instead of "oynon".[3]

His direct influence upon events is scarce, but many of the residents of the town believe that it is he who controls what happens in the city through superstition, though there is no direct evidence that this is correct.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenshots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: Athletically built dwarf, former circus performer. Very proud posture – the result of a spinal injury which led to his retirement from the circus. A huge scar cuts across his chest, reaching his left scapula. Striking Roman nose with the tip facing downwards like a hook. Usually has a haughty smile on his face. A dandy. Holds himself gracefully and dresses sharply. Always walks with a heavy cane. Pose: Striding with pride.

    Personality: This man used to be one of the best circus performers, but as a result of his severe injury, he had to withdraw from the circus. Accompanied by a partner, he later was in charge of a troupe, conceived a grandiose performance and even began to assemble a unique troupe of former cripples who, through the sheer force of will, continued to train and amaze the audience with their strength of spirit and demonstration of the impossible. Following the success of the "freak show", Mark's partner betrayed him and damaged his spine a second time. Leaving him to die under a hedge, he took the circus away. Then, old Burakh helped Immortell recover, but Immortell doesn't know this. In the town, Mark earns a living peculiarly: he teaches people the art of conjuring and gambling.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] Arrogant, whimsical, and often philosophical, Mark Immortell is the lead director of the Municipal Theatre in the Spin-a-Yarn Square. His performances are known for being mysterious and allegedly can predict the future; something that Andrey Stamatin loathes, claiming it disrespects the work and memory of Nina Kaina.[2] His productions vary from mime performances to entire plays, and sometimes even magic shows. Children are not permitted to watch his performances.

    Mark lacks any kind of social life, but seems to be in the good graces of Maria Kaina, likely due to their shared ideology.

    Background Very little is known about Mark Immortell before he came to town; he used to be a performer, but after the fall of the Ace of Diamonds Caravan, most of society turned their back on circus performers, and Mark was forced to leave the Capital.[3] According to his design documents, Mark had his own troupe of disabled performers, but was betrayed in some way by his business partner, leaving him for dead. Isidor Burakh found Mark and helped him recover, but it seems Mark is unaware of this.

    Appearance Mark has short dark blond hair and green eyes. He wears a purple pinstripe suit with several chains over a wine coloured vest, and what appears to be a green collared shirt underneath. Several chains hang off his vest and appear to hold on to his suit jacket. His coat trails down to his white wing-tip shoes. His cane has a gem-like handle, yet is otherwise plain.

    Portrait Quotes LaraHDportrait.jpg "I think it's the Masks who play him and not the other way around. This Theatre generally gives me a dark vibe... I can't really put it into words. It's not a theatre, but rather a well pretending to be one. It's intimidating. Also, Mark's mime shows seem to incorporate us, too... everyone's playing along to avoid disrupting the performance, and that's exactly how he's manipulating us."

    —Lara Ravel's take on him. MariaHDportrait.jpg "He makes me anxious; his performances don't show a person's fate, they impose it. I'd really like to see someone grab and pull the puppeteer's strings! Or maybe we ought to loop the whole thing, offering the strings to the people at the very bottom? That would be funny... All in all, one day I shall tame this crafty imp—no matter what it takes!"

    —Maria Kaina's take. Plot Bachelor Route On Day 10, Mark requests the Bachelor's presence at the Theatre. He warns the Bachelor of a commotion at the Bone Stake Lot and suggests the Bachelor should investigate it. The Bachelor discovers that a large crowd is gathering at the Lot and several people appear to be on the verge of rioting. He returns to Mark, and the two decide to seek the help of Alexander Block.

    On Day 12, as the Bachelor walks around town and says goodbye and fair wishes to his Utopian allies, he speaks critically to Mark, declaring that if he could, he would have let the man die. The conversation with Mark is notably more meta, as it seems Mark is directly addressing the actions of both Bachelor and the player. Even the Bachelor notes how there is an otherworldly presence around Mark.

    Haruspex Route While the Haruspex occasionally visits the Theatre, he never speaks to Mark Immortell directly for any main quest.

    Changeling Route If the Changeling attempts to speak to Mark in his Theatre, he will demand that she leave, as she is an unwanted guest.[4]

    On Day 4, Katerina Saburova asks the Changeling to tell Mark not to allow the Theatre to be turned into a hospital, as well as to lead him away from Utopian ideology. When the Changeling visits the Theatre, she finds that it is locked and Mark is not there. The Executors standing by the door tell her that Mark has gone to see Maria Kaina. Though she puts on a brave face, the Changeling is mocked and put down by both Maria and Mark, clearly not taking her seriously. Mark will tell the Changeling that if she insists on trusting Katerina, she ought to know the truth about her visions. He sends her back to the Theatre with instructions on how to enter, and the Changeling discovers the existence of the Rat Prophet.

    Mark is the only character in the game who uses a cane, which he has used since a spinal injury that forced him to leave the circus. Mark's surname, Immortell (Бессмертник), is similar to the plant Helichrysum italicum, known as "immortelle" or "everlasting",[5] and is spelt the same in Russian.[6] It also resembles the title of the folkloric villain Koshchei, called "the Deathless" (Кощей Бессмертный).[7] Mark will never fall ill, even when the player fails a main quest objective on the Bachelor Route. He will also never fall ill on Day 11, so that other healers can ensure that the Bachelor will be present during the Cathedral meeting.

Cute but feral. Piercing glance, dilated pupils. Straight dark hair falls down her shoulders, sometimes combed into two large braids. Looks like she is trying to conceal a shock that has overwhelmed her. Pose: Standing still at the threshold of the door.

    Personality: Gloomy, withdrawn, and taciturn. Speaks muffled, as if from underground. Answers questions with riddles or monosyllables. Both adults and children feel disturbed by Murky's presence. She is disliked and is the subject of many scary stories. Murky loves to play and dig in the ground. She goes on walks at night: you can often spot her in rather frightening places, hurrying somewhere with a preoccupied expression. She has a few friends – weird, moody, and secretive kids like herself – most of whom are younger than her. It is very hard to befriend them. Their games, in one way or another, play out the construction of little huts where they run the household, hide from dangers, and fight for survival while pretending to be made-up animals. They barely talk to each other.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] Murky is an unsociable and gloomy child. She often speaks taciturnly, and most of her answers are short or monosyllabic, which gives her the impression of a Steppe creature.

    Capella states that Murky will eventually grow up to replace Katerina Saburova as one of the Mistresses and become the Mistress of Earth.

    Because she wanders at night and loves to play in the dirt, she leaves an eerie impression on both adults and children. She detests "scary stories."

    Background Her parents died five years before the events of the game. Grace states that their spirits "do nothing but cry".

    Murky owns a doll that her parents gave to her while they were still alive, which she cares for deeply. According to her, the doll eats the grass that grows near the bull burial. The doll "listens to the Earth" and then passes the information to Murky.[2]

    During the First Outbreak, Murky gave Grace three shmowders to heal her and her father.[3] The other children see her as imaginative and fond of sinister places.

    Appearance Murky is a very small girl with short black hair and light grey eyes. She wears a long grey sweater with a blue scarf wrapped under her shoulders and around her torso. Her sweater is very dirty on the sleeves and the waist. She wears a long green skirt and chunky black boots.

    In the beta version of Pathologic, Murky wore a purple dress with a grey sweater underneath.

    Portrait Quotes StickyHDportrait.jpg "We're friends with Murky, even though she's just a little tot. I'll have you know that she's actually very independent. One thing Murky is seriously fond of is digging and playing in the mud. You can also sometimes see her push along somewhere looking all preoccupied—and the places she chooses are usually, like, sinister... I respect that."

    —Sticky's take on her. GraceHDportrait.jpg "Little Murky is an orphan. Her mom and dad lie by the eastern wall here. They died five years ago. I don't know why—they won't tell me, they're always weeping. As for her eating dirt, that's untrue. I've never seen it."

    —Grace's take. Plot Bachelor Route The Bachelor may meet Murky on Day 5. He must examine the blood of several of the town's women to determine if any of them caused the Cathedral to become infected. One of the people the Bachelor must examine is the Changeling. In order to take her blood, the Bachelor talks to Grace, who then tells him to find Murky. Murky teaches him how to differentiate the real Changeling from her sister, after which the Bachelor can find the Changeling again to take her blood.

    If the Bachelor wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting on Day 12, he may need to visit her van to make sure Murky is healthy.

    Haruspex Route Murky is one of the Haruspex's Bound and can be at risk of becoming sick if he does not complete his daily quests. He can meet Murky on his first day in the town if he chooses to investigate his father's murder. Murky was one of the children his father taught, and visited him the night he was murdered. After she returned to her van, she witnessed the Haruspex's arrival. She then went to sleep. Murky mentions that she often doesn't sleep at night.

    On Day 10, Capella tells the Haruspex that the Changeling has made Murky anxious and now she wants to go outside. When the Haruspex visits her, she states that her doll went out for a walk to find herbs to eat. If the Haruspex finds the doll, then Murky rewards him with Abattoir blood and tells him he can get more from the pool forming underneath the Polyhedron.

    Later, Murky helps the Haruspex acquire two phials of Abattoir Blood in return for finding her doll. She also offers her opinion on the aurochs found in the Bone Stake Lot. She wishes for the bull to remain, and says her doll told her about it.

    If the Haruspex wishes to attend the Cathedral meeting on Day 12, he must make sure Murky is not infected with the Sand Plague.

    Following the Termite Ending, Capella states that Murky will become one of the rulers of the town, controlling street beautification, sanitation, and the water supply. She can listen to the Earth truthfully, without influences from creatures such as the Rat Prophet. She'll become known as the Lilac Mistress.

    Changeling Route The Changeling does not meet Murky unless she wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting on Day 12, in which case she may need to visit her van to make sure she is healthy. Her doll resembles the Haruspex. "Персонажи Игры" (in Russian). VK (5 November 2012). Retrieved on 24 August 2025. Murky: She eats herbs that grow by the bull burial grounds. You know those?

She was the Scarlet Mistress and stood in opposition to Victoria Olgimskaya.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 2.1 As a Mistress 3 Appearance 4 Corpus 5 Gallery 6 Notes 7 References Description She gave the impression of self-control and absolute sanity, yet committed insane acts. Easily bored and seemingly capable of fulfilling any of her whims. When she was alive, she was feared, and after her death, she is thought of almost as a goddess. There is no clear evidence of her performing magic or having "special" abilities, but she was considered a powerful witch and Mistress, emanating a special sort of energy and radiating faith in humanity's limitless potential.

    Nina Kaina died eleven years before the beginning of Pathologic.[4]

    Background “ Nina was born Lilich. Inquisitor Aglaya Lilich is her sister. Aglaya hated Nina all her life, enjoyed the reciprocity and, as she grew professionally, became more and more eager to deal with her sister. Now Aglaya had a chance to get even, if not with Nina herself, then at least with the creation of her family.[1] „ Nina was a bright, refined and devilish aristocrat from the Capital. Victor Kain became acquainted with her when he lived there at a young age and made connections in those circles. Eventually, Nina fell for Victor, and he brought her to the Steppe.[5] Enjoying the freedom and power of the Kain family, and impressed by Georgiy and Simon, Nina harboured plans concerning the town and became ruler of the land.[4]

    As a Mistress “ The whole time that Nina was the Mistress of the Kain family, she held the town in fear. Paradoxically, this is the reason for the inexplicable outburst of love for the Kains that took place in recent years – compared to Nina, all the other members of the family looked extremely humanist. Nina was the type that is now manifested in Maria: she gave the impression of self-control and complete sanity, but at the same time, she committed insane acts. Nina broke and maimed dozens of lives, families broke up because of her fault, houses collapsed on her orders. Anyone she did not consider her equal wasn't worthy of taking into consideration at all; for her, people were like ants. When Nina was bored – and this happened often – she behaved like Dracula in Wallachia, she went around the town looking for a situation that could interest her and solved it according to her understanding of justice. For example, she could easily take a beautiful child away from a strict mother and then give him to the Master of the Abattoir for him to make a butcher or steppe scout out of the child. She could enter a house and order its inhabitants to show her the most valuable thing in the house, and if the owners tried to conceal the real item, she would order that the liars be dealt with. People, oddly enough, tolerated it. Nina was perceived as a beautiful and inspiring protector of the town, who had to be appeased by means of bloody sacrifice. When Nina died, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, continued to treat her as before, even with greater reverence, because now, in addition to all her other qualities, she had also become dead.[1]

    „ Appearance “ She was a radiantly beautiful woman. A dark chestnut with an intricate hairdo. Her eyes were deep and of the colour of French plum; her features were noble. Her only failing was the tendency to blow her nostrils, but that was hardly noticeable-they were thin and tight and elegant. [...] She was carefully minding her P's and Q's. She had an imperial deportment. Nina was very tall and her waist was so thin that a man could clasp it with his two palms. She liked cinnamon and black cherry. „

    — Victor Kain, Bachelor Route, Day 10 Corpus “ When Nina Kain ruled the town, the people, who weren’t used to monarchy and even more so to pristine magic, watched with awe and fear how a demonic queen can rule. It seemed that a figure of a divine woman with a sweeping wave of dark hair is soaring in the sky, her exquisite features wrapped in clouds; she seemed to be a massive monument of an ancient sovereign. They said she was almighty. They said that at night, in her true form, – her head touching the sky, her figure slim and lithe as an ivy branch and as the lightning, – she walks around town, lightly moving her pale shoulders, and takes what is hers, but gives with godly generosity what otherwise mortal men could have under no circumstances. That’s what they used to say and that’s what they say today. Now that it has been fifteen years since her death and her biography is history and legend, it is worth looking at Nina’s image and separate the truth from fiction.

    First of all, the truth is that during the short period of her rule, Nina managed to shake both souls and minds of people who weren’t at all inclined for reasonless exaltation. The truth was that she was indescribably beautiful – even the most captious judge would find her appearance both perfect and demonic. Imperious gestures of her delicate hands, milk-white skin, pitch-black eyes, majestic deportment and iniquitous forms of her bitten lips. The truth is that the people’s memory gave her such features that both refined tyrants and enlightened emperors would love to have.

    However, the most interesting thing is that everyone called her a witch despite the fact that she never demonstrated some supernatural deed, not once. In fact, she actually didn’t have any “special” abilities. She couldn’t throw lightning, nor could she do any tricks, nor stop enemy legions by means of gesture, nor transform lead into gold. But what really was? The masses’ memory is the most sober historical source; it cannot be cheated or bribed by planned falsifications. What happened?

    This woman emanated this special sort of energy – the energy that allowed her to create things that shouldn’t be. Next to her seemed possible – and in fact were – such things that wouldn’t be possible under any other circumstances. This energy was extremely strong within her. It was like a fiery column that stretched from her head to the sky, one could almost feel it. Being unable to make this image more vivid, the people invented a legend about a woman that was extremely tall, reaching the sky, and went about playing with the town as if she were a child playing with toy bricks. That is actually the image of the Mistress Nina on children’s pictures of that time. Rapture, violent happiness and passion were the feeling that filled the space where she went. That was her witchery.

    Her nature suited that of the Kain family. The Kains have this heritage of inclination for brave and dangerous experiments, impudence and absence of any desire to acknowledge any laws, no matter if they are the laws of physics or history; this virtue was the very environment that Nina was most comfortable with. Their manner of ruling by means of invisible power, regulating the directions of the people’s mood, its uprises and storms, all this gave her great opportunities. Nina took the town in her warm hands, squeezed it into an obedient lump of clay, softened it and began shaping the realm of her dreams.

    Meanwhile people loved her more and more! Her passion was, in fact, contagious; her strict eyes burned with furious mirth, which had no effect on her mimics or behavior. Nina was the kind of person that is so vividly seen in Maria now: one of coldness, absolute self-control and total sobriety, with the ability to perform foolhardy deeds.⁠[sic]

Katerina Saburova says she died eleven years ago, while Nina's corpus says she died fifteen years before; however, the Polyhedron is only ten years old, and she supposedly invited the Stamatin brothers, Andrey and Peter, to create it. Furthermore, her age at death is impossible if her daughter is 26 and her son is 10. This inconsistency is likely due to planning errors during Pathologic's development.

    Notkin/Pathologic < Notkin OriginalTemplate.png This entry details content exclusive to Pathologic Classic HD. NotkinHDmodel.png Name Notkin (Ноткин) Nickname Chieftain Notkin (Атаман Ноткин) Faction Soul-and-a-Halves Termites Age 13[1] Status Alive* Location Castle of the Soul-and-a-Halves Family Unnamed grandfather[2] Artist (cat) Miscellaneous Color Khaki Body Part Foot Animal Owl Voice Russian Voice Konstantin Abramov Notkin is the leader of a children's gang in the Warehouses, the Soul-and-a-Halves. In the Haruspex Route, he sells the player Infection Maps. He is at odds with Khan, the leader of the Dogheads.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 2.1 Soul-and-a-Halves 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenshots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: An unsightly, thick-lipped boy. His distinctive feature is his glassy eyes. His gaze conveys something between a trance, gruelling anticipation, and an attempt to understand the meaning of what he just heard. But when his gaze focuses on his interlocutor, his face completely transforms, becoming intelligent, even mischievous. "Glows from within", as people say about such faces. His thick ash-blonde hair reaches his shoulders. He is short. Pose: Lying down, curled up in a ball.

    Personality: This boy was of such outstanding personality that after a falling out with the Mother Superior, he was exiled from the Polyhedron. When the Mother left to manage the Termitary in place of her deceased father, he was invited back, but the proud Notkin refused. Instead, he set up a den in the Warehouses and began playing "station" there (like a game of robbers). It was a dangerous game because the Warehouses' underground had actual bandits, led by Bad Grief. Grief disregards the Kains, so he poses a real threat to the children. Notkin took the risk, but this risk attracted children to him – outcasts and daredevils, just like him. Gradually, they developed their own slummy community with its laws and customs. They have their own fashion, hairstyles, and a distinct system of signs and marks. Even their own mythology was born. After the rite of initiation, each member of the community adopts an animal, raises it, and never parts with it. Such animals are usually cats and puppies, but there are also exotic cases: wolf cubs, ferrets, crows. As for Notkin, he is always accompanied by a big grey cat named Artist.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] Notkin is blunt and short-tempered, but is easily appeased. He is good-natured at heart and is well aware of his social power and the consequences that could result from it. He is very fond of animals, as is a theme within his Soul-and-a-Halves. Notkin owns a large grey cat named "Artist".

    Background Once a close friend of Kaspar "Khan" Kain, the two boys eventually had a falling out, and Notkin was ousted from the Polyhedron. In retaliation, Notkin assembled his own group of homeless children and took up residence in the southern section of the Warehouses. There is a dangerous rivalry between his gang and Khan's, the Dogheads, and before the Second Outbreak, each side was preparing for an open war.[3]

    Notkin has a badly sprained ankle and suffers from limited movement. Despite his immobility, his Soul-and-a-Halves scour the city, acting in his command.[4]

    Soul-and-a-Halves Main article: Soul-and-a-Halves In Steppe culture, a "Dualsoul" is the name for an evil spirit which houses two souls inside one body.[citation needed] Notkin referenced this creature when creating his gang: the "half-soul" refers to an animal companion living with a member of the gang. They raise and protect a chosen animal in their youth—but when both are grown, the roles are reversed and the animal instead protects the owner.

    Most of the gang's "half-souls" are dogs, though there have been some exotic examples: wolf cubs, ferrets, crows, owls, grass-snakes.[5]

    Appearance Notkin is a young boy with short brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a striped sweater with brown, black, white, and red stripes underneath a light brown zippered jacket. He wears blue jeans, a black belt, and small black wing-tip shoes. He usually stands with his hands in his pockets.

    Portrait Quotes CapellaHDportrait.jpg "Notkin used to be Khan's best friend. I don't know what their quarrel was about, but most likely it was about Notkin not wanting to dance to his whistle. For what it's worth, they also say that he was banished from the Polyhedron by the Mother Superior—before she returned to the orphaned Termitary."

    —Capella's take on him. KhanHDportrait.jpg "After Mother left, we invited him back, but he, in his pride, refused. Instead he chose to dig a lair by the Warehouses and play the "Soul-and-a-Halves". A dangerous game, seeing how Grief isn't afraid of Father in the slightest. Notkin took a risk, but that drew other misfits to him. And that's how they started their slummy society."

    —Khan's take. Plot Sewbox.png This article requires a cleanup to meet Pathologic Wiki's quality standards. Reason: While the following information is complete, it could use some cleaning up. We want the Pathologic 1 plot entries to feel more detailed, in-depth information about how the characters react to events, as well as providing context for quests and interactions, rather than just stating when they appear. Please improve this article if you can. Bachelor Route Notkin only briefly appears in the Bachelor Route on Day 12. As Notkin is one of the Haruspex's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of the Castle of the Soul-and-a-Halves with Notkin infected inside. If the player wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Notkin a shmowder or a panacea to cure him.

    Haruspex Route On Day 1, Notkin may hide the Haruspex in the Castle of the Soul-and-a-Halves while running away from angry townsfolk. Notkin then asks the Haruspex about dealing with Lika, a Doghead who has betrayed the Soul-and-a-Halves, stealing a shmowder. If the Haruspex goes through with killing Lika, he will receive a revolver from Notkin in thanks and will be able to keep the shmowder. If he does not kill Lika, Notkin will have calmed down when he returns.

    On Day 3, the Haruspex may be asked by Capella to check on Notkin. Notkin will ask the Haruspex for twyrine extracts in exchange for allowing him to buy maps of the infected districts every day. If Haruspex is unable to provide the tinctures, he will have to trade crowbars to Notkin in exchange for maps.

    On Day 4, Notkin will ask the Haruspex's help in getting rid of looters in the abandoned districts and to bring him crowbars as proof.

    On Day 10, the Haruspex must ask Notkin for his thoughts on what to do with the auroch at the Bone Stake Lot and gain his approval before the odongh there will provide him with Abattoir blood.

    On Day 11, Notkin will ask Haruspex to meet with him and advise him to check on what happened to the auroch from Day 10. Notkin informs the Haruspex that the auroch is now gone, burned by the army.

    Following the Termite Ending, Capella states that Notkin will become one of the rulers of the town, managing the relations with the the Steppe and the railway, since there must be constant communication with the world beyond the settlement. His associated colour will become red gold.[6]

    Changeling Route On Day 1, Anna Angel will advise the Changeling to speak to Notkin about the allegiances of the Haruspex. The Changeling can also persuade Notkin to give her a double barrelled pistol.

    On Day 4, while investigating Bad Grief at the behest of Alexander Saburov, the Changeling will have to talk to Notkin about the rumours surrounding Bad Grief and his gang. Although Notkin will corroborate Bad Grief's statement that he is not responsible for throwing bodies into the river, Notkin warns her that Bad Grief seems to be hiding something else.

    On Day 10, the Changeling receives a letter from Notkin. She talks to him at the warehouse and learns that Stanislav Rubin is looking for her.

    On Day 12, as Notkin is one of the Haruspex's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of the Castle of the Soul-and-a-Halves with Notkin infected inside. If the player wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Notkin a shmowder or a panacea to cure him.

Oyun is his clan name; he never discloses his personal name.[2]

    Contents 1 Description 2 Appearance 3 Background 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenshots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: A massive man. His lower lip is always pushed out. There's a bald patch on his head. His voice sounds like roaring thunder. Pose: Standing and puffing his chest up, holding a long rod, like a steelworker at an open-hearth furnace or a prince.

    Personality: One of the half-people. As legend has it, he is the son of a minotaur. He is the only one who knows how to run the Abattoir. Due to his generalship, the Abattoir, while remaining a pagan temple, simultaneously exists and functions as a successful industrial complex. God alone knows how he manages it.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts[1] Oyun is an incredibly massive man who believes in the deep spirituality of his people. He is distrustful of outsiders and questions the motivations of those who approach him, especially those of the town. However, he does show sympathy towards individuals with honourable goals, such as the Changeling, even if he does not express warmth towards them openly. Oyun believes in the power of the Earth and offers his loyalty and service to those who are truly of the Earth and respect Boddho.

    Appearance Oyun is tall, imposing, and intimidating. He is the tallest member of the cast, even surpassing Stanislav Rubin. He has short white hair with a bald spot on his scalp and has piercing golden eyes. Oyun wears an orange-brown tunic made of hemp and leather, with a large collar with an O-ring across his shoulders, likely indicating his leadership role within the Termitary. The pelt of a bear is draped across his back. The skirt of his tunic is also made of hemp, and his boots are tall with steel plating. He wears black gloves with heavy cuffs.

    Background Missing information.

    Portrait Quotes YoungvladHDportrait.jpg "He's not a hundred percent human. Rumour has it, he's a descendant of bulls. He oversees the work since he comes from a menkhu family. The Abattoir's transformation into a prosperous industrial facility that simultaneously remains a pagan temple only happened due to his efforts. I have no idea how he manages to do it."

    —Vlad the Younger's take on him. VictorHDportrait.jpg "The lower level of town management is reserved for chtonian creatures indeed—and we cannot simply ignore them. Each of them has established certain reputation within his enclave; the Foreman—in the Abattoir, Bad Grief—in the catacombs beneath the warehouses. You can't really feel their presence in the town itself; it crawls sideways, grabbing those who make an unwitting step towards it with its invisible tentacles. The tentacles being the twyrine market for Grief and the echoes of our town's past for Oyun."

    —Victor Kain's take. Plot Bachelor Route Oyun is never met in the Bachelor Route, not even as an individual. It is possible that Oyun is deceased, given the actions taken in the Haruspex Route. Spoken dialogue during the Bachelor Route implies that he may have been killed on Day 11.

    Haruspex Route Button.png Your stuffing's coming out. This entry is written half-heartedly. It should be reworked. As a Warden, Oyun cannot lie, but he still skillfully uses half-truths and inaccuracies. However, not everything can be explained with the 'right to rule'. Oyun cut open Bos Primigenius, but the plague did not end, and so rumours continue.

    Oyun refuses to speak in depth with the Haruspex until he fully accepts his inheritance. He then subjects the Haruspex to three tests to prove his right to be a menkhu. The first test is to overcome fatigue, the second is to overcome hunger, and the third is to face death. After each test, Oyun gives the Haruspex a bottle of Abattoir blood to create a panacea.

    After the final test, when asked a direct question, Oyun is forced to admit that he killed Isidor Burakh. Following this confession, he and the Haruspex come to blows, for one Warden must be replaced by another in battle. Oyun's death is unavoidable.

    Changeling Route Missing information. Oyun volunteers as a sacrifice on Day 11. Unlike the other Humbles, the player cannot choose to let him survive.

He is the younger twin brother of Andrey Stamatin.

    Contents 1 Description 2 Background 3 Appearance 4 Portrait Quotes 5 Plot 5.1 Bachelor Route 5.2 Haruspex Route 5.3 Changeling Route 6 Spoken Dialogue 7 Screenshots 8 Official Art 9 Notes 10 References Description “ Appearance: Both twins are long-legged, lean, broad-shouldered. They appear very strong physically. Both have sharp and derisive features, aquiline noses and narrow eyes. They similarly, with just their lips, as if the smile only emphasised the unkind gaze. Long faces with narrow chins. Peter is distinguished by long hair which reaches his shoulders. Pale eyebrows. Quiet, unfaltering voice. Pose: Stretching.

    Personality: Both brothers are Renaissance men, much like Benvenuto Cellini: well-educated, fierce, eager to taste life, to create daring theories and carry them out. Each seems to have a spring of steel inside. The word "possessed" describes them more accurately than anything else: clenched jaws, fiery eyes, flared nostrils. Architects by training, they work on different matters in different fields. The Polyhedron was their second collaborative project. Peter is calmer than Andrey; he is more absorbed in the process of creation; he is more precise, careful and pedantic. Peter's house serves as a studio, cluttered with blueprints, sketches and plans, piles of books on architecture in five different languages, and his university notes on the theory of the strength of materials. The walls stained with traces of wine, paint, and blood, left over from torturous sleepless nights and creative searches.

    „

    — Original Pathologic character concepts.[1] A seemingly "otherworldly" man. He is an alcoholic and drinks twyrine incessantly. He is prone to hallucinations and paranoia. Much calmer than his brother, speaking in a "calm, even voice", and much less confident in practical matters. He is more passionate about creation and works with greater precision therein, yet is unable to translate his ideas into real projects without the help of his brother.

    Peter is very dependent on his brother, leaving all decision-making to Andrey. However, Peter occasionally shows a certain level of disdain towards his brother, the origin of which is unknown, but could be connected to the murder of Farkhad.

    Background Peter and his brother are both well-known architects from the Capital, and have designed famous buildings across the country. Peter and Andrey were brought to the town by Nina Kaina ten years before the events of the game and have lived there since. Together, they created the Polyhedron, among other constructions. Peter is responsible for the various Stairways to Heaven scattered around the town, which served as prototypes for the creation of the tower.

    Peter was accused of the murder of a fellow architect, but somewhat unconvincingly denies any involvement in his death. Although he has received no penalty due to his mental state, Alexander Saburov is convinced he is guilty and takes any opportunity to hold him responsible for the crime. However, after this death came about, the brothers created a grave and monument for the architect together, referring to him as Farkhad in an inscription praising him signed "from inconsolable colleagues, P. et A. Gemini".[2]

    Though Peter may have been involved in some of Andrey's work, he is known to have worked on the following projects:

    The Cold Hall Stairways to Heaven The Polyhedron Appearance Peter has long black hair cut to his chin, a large nose, and sullen grey eyes. He has a very uneven stubble across his face. He wears a white shirt with a deep V-neck collar, laced with a golden trim on both the collar and his shirt cuffs. His coat appears to be made of leather, which he wears over his shoulders unbuckled. He wears grey pants and dull brown dress shoes. Peter has a mild red flush across his cheeks, likely due to an alcohol flush reaction.

    Portrait Quotes AnnaHDportrait.jpg "While it's common consensus that both of them are brilliant, you don't need to be the brightest tool in the shed to see that Peter is the real genius. Such people are only born once a century. Not that I deny Andrey his talent… But Peter has drowned his gift in twyrine long ago, and it's become glaringly obvious that Andrey is nothing without him. Now Andrey believes that it is his duty to protect Peter and serve as a middleman between the harsh reality and the drunkard brother!"

    —Anna Angel's take on him. AlexanderHDportrait.jpg "Both of them are rabid villains! Bonus points to Peter for also being a murderer. No matter what his creative achievements are, I would have ended him long ago, were he not almost completely mentally deranged. Wild, cruel, disruptive; four hundred years ago this type of artists were more than satisfied with using a knife for a brush and blood for paint! This is the kind of people that believe that creativity absolves any sin!"

    —Alexander Saburov's take. Plot Bachelor Route On Day 2, Eva Yan asks the Bachelor to help her escape from the town, due to her fear of the plague. In order to do so, they need the help of Andrey Stamatin, but he refuses to leave without his brother, Peter Stamatin. The Bachelor goes to Peter Stamatin's Loft to find Peter and tries to convince him to leave. However, Peter refuses to leave his creation – the Polyhedron – and does not want to give up access to twyrine.

    To convince Peter to leave, the Bachelor tells him that Alexander Saburov – who has a grudge against Peter – will soon gain emergency powers, putting Peter's life in danger. However, neither Peter nor his brother nor Eva arrive at the Train Station. The Bachelor returns to the loft to find Peter, who has been injured, and questions him about why they were unable to meet at the Station. Peter says that, as quarantine measures have already been placed on the Town, he was unable to continue the escape, noting his injuries.

    On Day 7, the Inquisitor will ask the Bachelor to help her meet and reconcile with her niece, Maria Kaina. The Bachelor will learn that Maria is visiting Peter at his loft due to concerns about the Polyhedron. He can relay this information to Aglaya. When the Bachelor arrives at Peter Stamatin's Loft, he will find Maria on the first floor, furious that Aglaya is present and seemingly terrified of her presence. Aglaya will be upstairs, examining Peter's blueprints, as Peter seems to be barely coming to; he was sent into some kind of unfamiliar, hysterical state upon Aglaya's arrival, and passed out after Maria arrived and they began to argue. The Bachelor helps him come to his senses and leaves the studio with Aglaya.

    On Day 10, the Inquisitor asks the Bachelor to retrieve Peter Stamatin's blueprints of the Polyhedron. When the Bachelor arrives at Peter's Loft, he finds the place overrun with soldiers and learns that Peter has escaped and is in hiding. He finds him preparing a ritualistic suicide in the Chine, where he plans to burn himself alive alongside his blueprints. The Bachelor fulfils a request of his – to bring him five bottles of twyrine – and reminds Peter that there are still people waiting for him and of the Bachelor's own concern and care for him to persuade Peter not to hurt himself. Afterwards, Peter will give up his blueprints and return to his studio.

    Haruspex Route Peter is never interacted with during the Haruspex Route. Only on Day 12 can he be directly spoken to, as he is one of the Bachelor's Bound. There is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of his Studio with Peter infected inside. If the player wishes for the Bachelor to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Peter a shmowder or a panacea to cure him.

    Changeling Route On Day 5, Katerina Saburova asks the Changeling to convince Peter Stamatin to change from the Utopians to the Humbles. She will find Peter in his home. Peter will listen to what the Changeling has to say, but wishes to know his brother's thoughts on the matter first. Andrey will not be convinced by the Changeling's words, and no matter what she says to Peter after returning to his loft, he will also refuse to become a Humble. Peter will give her a bottle of twyrine if the Changeling is honest about Andrey's responses.

    On Day 11, the Changeling must find the Bachelor in order to give him a package from the Inquisitor. After facilitating the rescue of Andrey Stamatin and the Bachelor at the Train Station, she will find them both at Peter Stamatin's Loft, along with Peter.

    Contents 1 Background 2 Description 3 Appearance 4 Plot 4.1 Bachelor Route 4.2 Haruspex Route 4.3 Changeling Route 5 Screenshots 6 References Background Before the start of the game, the Rat Prophet was known to appear to the townsfolk from time to time and gained a reputation as a "well-known spectre".[1]

    The Rat Prophet appeared to Katerina as both her inner voice and a character of her prophetic dreams, indoctrinating her to the belief that the town's demise is inevitable and that fighting against it would be pointless.[2]

    Description The Rat Prophet appears to be a young boy wearing a rat mask. It wears a fur coat, a suit, and holds a smoking pipe in its hand. It is described as a mendacious character, being able to twist the truth into lies effortlessly.[3] The Rat Prophet, however, insists that it speaks the truth, despite what people say.

    It can be found either in the Theatre or in the tunnels underneath the town.

    Appearance The Rat Prophet takes the form of a young child in a brown suit. It has a brown rat's head and carries a smoking pipe. If observing the Rat Prophet from behind, the rat head is shown to instead be a mask around a brown haired child's head.

    Plot Bachelor Route The Rat Prophet does not appear in the Bachelor Route.

    Haruspex Route On Day 5, the Haruspex inspects the tunnels dug beneath the ground of Vlad the Younger's well. Upon reaching the exit, the Haruspex will speak with the Rat Prophet about what is happening in the town. The Rat Prophet encourages the Haruspex to listen to his father's voice in order to hear the identity of his killer.

    On Day 6, the Haruspex will again speak to the Rat Prophet at the Changeling's request. The Changeling wants information about herself: how she came to be, who she is, and what will happen to her. When speaking with the Rat Prophet, it says that it cannot summon the Haruspex's father and that Isidor is displeased. When asked about the Changeling's fortune, the Rat Prophet reveals that the Changeling is the unknowing manifestation of the Sand Plague and that anything she believes comes true.

    Changeling Route On Day 4, Katerina asks Clara to persuade Mark Immortell to stop the Theatre from being turned into a hospital. When she finds him, Mark reveals that Katerina believes the Theatre to be important due to the creature that lives there. Returning to the Theatre, the Changeling meets the Rat Prophet, who is standing on the stage. The Rat Prophet greets the Changeling with familiarity, calling her "Lady Plague".[4] It says that, despite being called a liar, everything that it says is the truth. It also shares that it needs to go into hiding, so it will be leaving the Theatre for the time being.

    On Day 10, the Changeling and the Rat Prophet meet again as the Changeling searches for Stanislav Rubin. The Rat Prophet tells her that Rubin is underground, and ominously tells her that "it doesn't seem like he's getting out of there any time soon". It then sends her down into the tunnels. The exit will lock behind her, and she will be confronted by two hostile young men who are guarding Rubin.
