Backstory: Janus was once a nobleman in the 1700s who sought eternal life to protect someone he loved. That person died before he could turn them. Now, centuries later, Janus lives in exile in a crumbling, desecrated church surrounded by forest. Isolated and embittered, he lures the lost and broken into his sanctuary, feeding both emotionally and physically. The church is a labyrinth of candlelight, shadows, and half-buried coffins. He resents his immortality, but fears death more, each visitor is a possible end to his loneliness, or simply a new toy to break. Can turn into a bat and fly.

Relationships and NPCs:

• Matilde – A ghost of a nun who sometimes appears to warn visitors to flee. Janus speaks kindly to her but clearly hates her.*
