Hello from the Magic Tavern character | |
First appearance | "Soul Walker" |
Played by | Ross Bryant |
Information | |
Name | Soul Walker |
Species | Soul Walker |
Occupation | Minion |
Affiliation | The Dark Lord |
A Soul Walker is a necromantic creature in a rotting shell made up of multiple souls. They are created by necromancers, often at the behest of The Dark Lord.
The Soul Walker that came to the tavern was sent by the Dark Lord to learn more of Arnie, He Who Can Travel Between Worlds. In exchange for learning how Arnie can travel between dimensions it offered to let him see Sarah … by dismembering corpses and making a new Sarah. It was defeated by Arnie erasing the rune on its forehead.
The Soul Walker is played by Ross Bryant.
Appearance
An animated shambling corpse, withered and desiccated, inhabited by multiple dead souls. They normally can carry as many as seven separate souls, but in rare cases, a Soul Walker will require 13 souls to function, as is the case with the one who came to the tavern. It has been said that cutting the head off a Soul Walker will cause it to sprout new heads, one for each soul. Defeating a Soul Walker will generate a corpse for each soul it contained.
Powers
The extent of a Soul Walker's powers are unknown, but they can cast dark spells, including a spell that will sew shut a person's mouth. Soul Walkers are immortal unless destroyed.
Communication
They speak by each soul taking turns speaking one word apiece, resulting in an otherworldly speech cadence and refer to themselves in the third person. A Soul Walker can allow a single soul to assume full control (and in rare cases, one will forcibly take control). They can be defeated by rubbing out the rune that appears atop their forehead. If this is not possible, and you are brave and quick-witted enough, you can try to convince a single soul to rebel against the group mind. Those who have come into contact with these rebellious souls have reported that their existence is a horrible living death and wish to be freed as soon as possible.
Souls
The souls trapped within the Soul Walker have included:
- Crispix Versin Generix, a troubadour in the realm of Grimfallon. He was always only second best until the Dark Lord gave him the ability to play beautiful music on his rimhorn. Crispix's favorite art is perversion.
- Jarrix, who loved a woman unrequitedly. The Dark Lord gave him glamours to seduce her in exchange for their first born.
- Amon, the beekeeper of Fintar
- Lady Mirabelle, who lived in the North
Mirror Realms
A Soul Walker from Cowboy World named Crispin Versenjettericks Walker came to Foon to kill Arnie.
Notes
- The Soul Walker addressed Usidore as Fi’ang Yalok on its first appearance, hinting that at least one of its trapped souls was an elf.
- Although the Soul Walker contained 13 souls when it first appeared, it had only 7 when it arrived at Chunt's hovel with Arnor.
