The Huntress

Anna was still a child when an elk killed her mother during a hunt in the Russian forest, and she grew up taking girls from the villages nearby, none of whom survived the winter. Hunting Hatchets cross a whole loop, and Hex: Huntress Lullaby turns her humming into a penalty.

The Blight

Talbot Grimes made a productivity serum for the British East India Company that killed the workers it was tested on, and was left for dead in a mass grave before monks pulled him out. Blighted Corruption lets him rush and bounce off walls, and Hex: Undying keeps his other totems alive.

The Mastermind

Albert Wesker ran Umbrella from the inside, faked his own death with the Prototype virus, then put Uroboros into himself in an African hangar. Virulent Bound slams survivors into walls and infects them, and Awakened Awareness shows him everyone near his shoulder while he carries.

Haddie Kaur

Haddie Kaur lost her parents in a car crash in rural Quebec and now records a podcast on the paranormal; she documented the residual memories left in the Dorea Institute. Residual Manifest blinds the killer and reveals what he leaves behind, and Inner Focus tells her when someone goes down.

Eleven

Eleven was taken from her mother and raised as a test subject, and it was her own experiment that opened the gateway to the Upside Down. Extrasensory Perception and We See You put her back where she was always most useful: seeing what nobody else can.

Wretched Shop

Wretched Shop was a garage in Autohaven Wreckers before investigators worked out what else had been done inside it. The account of the place comes down to a single narrator, probably Benedict Baker.
