The Darkest Dungeon games have a diverse cast of Heroes each of which have a unique origin story. Their origin stories were initially told through Character Comics released by Red Hook years ago, but with the release of Darkest Dungeon II, Red Hook has fleshed out the stories of the Heroes (at least the ones that appear in the second game) through Shrines of Reflection that players can come across in their journey through the Kingdom. However, due to the number of comics and the number of Shrines, it can be difficult to see these stories in their entirety, so let's compile all the information together so we can see the stories of all the Heroes (so far) in full.

Also an additional lore of Damian, he was so into hurting himself that he decided to rip his own face off. There's even a trinket called "His Prison". This is why he has that zombie-like apperrance because my man was just that downbad masochistic.

My favorite piece of trivia for the heroes is a little tidbit found on the D.D. wiki. Leper is the only hero that faces towards the light during hero shrines while everyone else faces away from it. While every other hero's backstories are filled with regrets, pushing them to seek redemption. Leper has 0 regrets and aids others simply so he can make the world better. It's awesome that you concluded this video with Leper as he's truly a man unlike any of the others.

Then there's Flagellant, sitting in darkness with the reanimated corpse he calls a body and face. Once a man who believes in the power of blood to make others bleed (or on himself to take away the bleeding effect off his allies), bled too much to the brink of death's door and fights death herself with the power of blight

Just makes me love leper even more. Good hearted ruler, helps the less fortunate and sickly, a strong and proud warrior king who won't go out without a fight, a man with a just rage strong enough that in his fury he broke a giant sword (he wielded with one hand mind you!), and a protector of his people even to the last. And at the end of it all, embracing his place in the world and the beauty around him. His people were right to mourn his departure. What a fucking CHAD! Baldwin is a fricken legend.

The developers stated that Dismas was lied to about the carriage and the whole thing was a set up. The "A reflex..." quote may be him trying to excuse his actions in the moment. This follows with how a lot of the character trinket quotes seem to be from just before, during, or after the comics.

Sorry if the Narration is a little weird this time around. I tried to segue between the various character stories so that the whole piece felt like one big story instead of a bunch of individual chapters. While that worked for some of the characters, it's pretty clunky for others. Hope you're still able to enjoy! Thanks for watching!

Alhazred was named after HP Lovecraft's Alhazred, the writer of the Necronomicon and an arabian madman. He had an immense knowledge of the outer gods, such as Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Shubniggurath, Nyarlathotep etc. Ironically he would be torn to pieces out of nowhere by a creature invisible to human eyes. His end brought by the eldritch knowledge he had, that would attract some eldritch creature to kill him.

Fun fact the vestal isn't a nun, she's a vestal also known as a vestal virgin, they worship the goddess Vesta who is the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Hestia. She's a fire and light goddess, and the vestals have to be virgins or else they get suffocated and tortured until they perish. Edit-the greeks didn't do this to their priestesses it was only the Romans, who became the Catholics and the vestals became nuns.

From seeing many comments, and check comics and other stuffs. Ig the shine mini-game story is more of overall retelling, but not 1-1 story. Imo, for Junia, she might actually got distracted once and left the flame died out. Or Dismas, actually shot one shot into Stagecoach. Tho for gameplay, and possibly some mental aspect, these things are different. I prefer making Comic the baseline tho

I really liked this video it was such a great way to know all the stories behind the characters. But regarding the bounty hunter, personally I have the theory that the reason why he left the bounty behind wasnt because it was for the crime lord but because it was a bounty for the bounty hunter himself (also why the bounty had the hunter's face on it and not the crime lord's) since the crime lord probably thought that he'd eventuality come for him, and this was a way to show that only he could be the one to collect his own bounty and took the teeth as payment.

About Dismas and his victims: I saw a theory that it's his wife and child because the boy looks a lot like him but wait! In one of his afflicted states he says something about a girl he could run away with but didn't. There is also another bark where he sees her face in an enemy he is attacking at the moment. Given that the dead boy really does resemble him... I suspect Highwayman parted ways with that girl unaware of her pregnancy... And it was her and his child he never knew whom he killed.

I have to assume they named Bigby, well, Bigby because of The Wolf Among Us. The main character of course being the literal Big Bad Wolf or "Bigby" for short. Both can turn into beasts at a moments notice, and have anger issues. Also the name "Paracelsus" seemed strange to me, but there was a real alchemist from Switzerland named Paracelsus, and he was a pretty important guy to boot. The name however isn't unisex, so our dear Plague Doctor has a boy's name. Kinda reminds me of Eivor from Assassin's Creed, Eivor is a girl's name so if you play as male Eivor it doesn't make sense.

He abandoned his simple life to continue the way of war we know him for.

Alhazred is mentioned in "A trampled Journal" from DD, where it says that he died in the ruins as he was "wreaking havoc" in the enemy lines. It's author called him the "fiery heartbeat" of their retinue. As far as my interpretation allows, Sebastian, a team member of that expedition and a highwayman, died while keeping watch. His team members, Alhazred, Hewell and the author (which I assume were both Men-at-Arms) were eating when it happened and ran over to him when they heard screams. He was gone. After Alhazred died during the subjugation of the monsters, Hewell, a very impressive persona, died too. The entry ends with the author swearing to take revenge for his comrades.

In Barristan's story, I was led to believe he was the one who took his own eye off during his nightmares. I guess its a bit subtle whatever truly happened, but it feels somehow more true to the character this way.
@SquatchGamingChannel
@SquatchGamingChannel 6 ай бұрын
Honestly, I felt that way when I first read through/saw his story too, but chose to go with the story I presented in this video because of the choice of the writers to say Pride took his eye. How could the nightmares evoke a sense of Pride in him that would make him take his own eye? I felt if it was his remorse over the deaths of his men, they would have chosen “Anguish” or “Remorse” when saying what took his eye. Also, why would he be in the hospital if he wasn’t injured? Although, I guess I could have “logic-ed” myself out of the correct implication because it could also be that his Pride led to the deaths of his men which led to his nightmares which led to his self-mutilation. And he could simply have been admitted to the hospital for mental reasons. That’s probably the case… Lol. Oh, well! Just shows that I’m not perfect and that I’m just some guy talking about this stuff. Not an ever in the slightest. Lol. Thanks for watching, man. Hope you enjoyed the video outside of that error!

@@SquatchGamingChannel no, don't undervalue yourself! Your video is awesome, I loved every bit. The narration was extremely entertaining and cohesive, especially the transitions between stories. And we can't know for sure what truly happened, so it makes us both right, I guess. Thanks for the video, you're the best.

I always saw Dismas' story as slightly different, where the Mother and Child he gunned down in the carrieage was his own wife and child. But I love your videos as always, my friend!

It could be, but I think one of the Developers said it wasn't his wife and kid. Or maybe I'm thinking that he said it wasn't Reynald's family (some people were trying to tie the two together). Definitely one of the two. Lol. Thanks for watching!

Baldwin is the 2nd main character of DD, change my mind. I like the idea of the protegee beginning his mad redemption arc and running into Baldwin who joins the cause and continues to push the protege towards his quest with his wisdom and indomitable will.

Considering some different between each medias, the comic, the shine of reflection mini-game, the many other info like items sets in DD1, things might not be 1-1 or 100% sure. Imo, I still prefer using Comics, and DD1 sets as baseline for now. Also gonna wait to see if/when other DD1 char got added into DD2

Hi brother. Just wanted to let you know I've listened to your Hotline Miami videos multiple times - as well as other videos of yours. Very good to have on while I do other things. I REALLY appreciate the long form format. Also that you don't do the whole cringe Linus Tech Tips thumbnails with ridiculous faces, titles, Mr. Beast screaming etc. Rare thing to come across nowadays. Mark

Thanks a lot, Mark! Back when I first started making videos, I knew I didn't want to make content like that, and even though it hurts my performance in the algorithm, I've stuck to that decision all these years. Happy to hear that there are people out there that appreciate that decision! :)
