Redemptor Karl, Protection Henchman

Evaluation

Karl has a tendency to use Draw Conditions on Disease, thus infecting the party members standing near him.

Dialogue

"There are many ways to create something. Death for example, can create life. If it is my time to die I would rather it be while creating a new future for my house than deliberating over ancient texts. I cannot choose the time but I can choose the path. Did you need something from me?"

Quotes

Idle in the Echovald Forest:

• "In the stillness you can feel the five true gods coursing through this world."
• "My end will come swift enough. I am glad for this respite."
• "Youth made me want age. Age made me want wisdom. Wisdom made me selfless."

Redemptor Karl meets Redemptor Karl in Arborstone during the quest Song and Stone

Battle quotes:

• "A single life is a small price to pay for the future."
• "Can you hear it calling?"
• "Die with honor. Die with faith. Die with the light."
• "Fear not death's dark song."
• "I am but dust in the wind."
• "I will pass into the next world soon enough."
• "My time is near, I can feel it."
• "The dark song is near!"
• "The next time I will not be so lucky."
• "You will not fall, but I shall."

Notes

• If your party has Karl and also a party member who has the quest Song and Stone when you exit into Arborstone (explorable), you will see Karl also outside speaking to the stone singers, providing for a humorous moment (see adjacent picture). (See also: Divine Path Glitches)
• In the Factions Preview Event, he was called Redemptor Klaus.

Trivia

• The battle quote, "I am but dust in the wind", is most likely a reference to Kansas' song "Dust in the Wind" (see the lyrics).
