6. Conclusion: lessons and future outlook
to help people. He saw the terrifying works of the Resurrectionists, and he intended to stop them before they could claim any more innocent lives.
But as the years wore on, he realized that he was just as much of a monster as those he faced. For every undead abomination he put down, he found his orders requiring him to cut down an innocent;
whether they were possessed or simply in the way.
All of that changed the day he met Reva. She was an embarrassment to her family, and they sought his help to rid them of their “problem.” Instead of attempting a ritual on the girl, he set her free. He still wonders why he did it; perhaps he had finally had enough, or perhaps he fell sway to the girl’s strange power.
Now he is Reva’s right hand. He is always by her side, giving her advice and watching her back. In part, he watches for the Guild and those who would seek to harm her, but he’ll also be there when the vile undead which follow her inevitably turn on her.

Vincent ST. ClairVincent ST. Clair
ReSURRECTIONIST STATS Archie lives a simple unlife. He follows Molly
because she is the only person who was kind to him, despite his fearsome appearance.
Sometimes she asks him to smash things. He usually does what Molly says; he is drawn to her for some reason, even beyond her kindness, that he does not entirely understand. Sometimes people try to hurt him; he doesn’t understand why, and it always makes him angry. When that happens, he goes into a rage, smashing down doors, tearing off limbs, and stomping people into bloody puddles. But when it’s all over, Molly is always there for him with kind words, and sometimes even an ice cream cone.
Archie likes how things are now. They're far better than before, when the cruel doctor would hurt him.
The doctor would always smile while sewing on a new limb or giving him another shot.
Archie considers his decision to smash the doctor's lab to pieces and escape out into the city to be one of the better ones he has made during his unlife.

Shieldbearers are from the slums of Malifaux. A chance meeting with Reva has inspired them to fight anew, fighting for themselves and those around them. They are drawn to her by Reva’s strength of character, her ability to ease the passage of the dying, or maybe just the magic that surrounds her.
Whatever the reason, each Shieldbearer is loyal to Reva and has taken up arms to join her fight.
They fight with what they can find, often the broken swords and shields left behind by fallen Guildsmen.
This strange militia is more effective than it should be, driven by their belief in the one they follow and guided by Vincent St. Clair’s tactical experience.
Even death cannot stop them. Reva has promised to take care of them, and she does so even as they give their lives. Any Shieldbearer that falls in combat at Reva’s side rises once again as a spirit to carry on the fight. And each time this happens, it only sharpens the beliefs of those who witness it.

ReSURRECTIONIST STATS Malifaux is known to awaken latent magical abilities
in people as they cross the Breach. But not every magical talent can be used in life. There are some with the ability to return from the grave even stronger than they were in life. Of course, the individual often has no idea they have this talent until they have been put into the grave. These people rise as the Draugr.
Although Draugr retain some of the intelligence and will that they had in life, they are often driven mad by their transition. They awaken in the cold ground, abandoned there by those they loved, and they are forced to claw their way free. Sometimes getting out of the grave takes weeks of struggling through the cold, unyielding earth.
Some Draugr seek out those who wronged them in life. Some retreat to the wilderness, hiding from the humans that will now shun them. Others simply go stark, raving mad, grabbing the most intimidating weapon they can find and unleashing their anger on the living.
Mutable Form: At the start of this model's Activation, this model may choose to change its Ht stat to 1, 2, or 3 until the start of its next Activation.
The Draugr's Blessing: Other friendly models within a6 that have an Upgrade with the Soulbound restriction Attached gain + to Attack flips. This Ability does not stack.

Goryo are the spirits of strong-willed warriors or lords who martyred themselves in battle. Their will is such that they are able to bind lesser spirits to themselves, gaining power and skill from the spirits they subsume. They sometimes haunt the places where they died, but they can be called into the material world by a Resurrectionist with enough skill.
Those who seek to summon a Goryo are playing a dangerous game. The spirits are often filled with rage at the living, constantly re-enacting the final battle that put them in the grave. The spirits that follow them are significantly less powerful, but they are still a danger.
If a Goryo can be controlled, it may prove to be well worth the effort. Unlike most spirits which act out of sheer rage or hunger, the Goryo brings with it all of its knowledge of martial prowess and tactical skill. They have been known to cut down skilled swordsmen and outmaneuver elite mercenary units.

ReSURRECTIONIST STATS March 4th
I died today. I know that must seem mad, maybe I am. The consumption had finally taken me. I closed
my eyes and slipped off into blackness; I knew it was the end. But hours later I awoke. At first I thought
it was a miracle!
The consumption was gone; that wretched cough which had plagued me for so many months
had simply ceased. But soon I realized that my breathing had as well. I could not find a pulse
either. I don’t know what to make of it. Out here, in the wastes, there is nobody else to judge me for
my new ‘condition.’ Eventually I suppose I may need to make my way back to civilization for supplies.
But what supplies do I need now? Certainly not food.
March 5th I have never heard of this happening
before. Necromancy is usually performed by a Resurrectionist, isn’t it? Their creations end up mindless slaves. But my mind is intact, my will is my own. Perhaps this is simply a miracle! And along with my new ‘condition’ I have noticed that I now have certain…abilities. I can grow larger seemingly at will. My muscles perform feats that I never could in life! Yesterday I was able to plow the field without the help of that ox which cost me so much scrip to bring across the Breach. Though why I would need to grow a crop I suppose I do not know. Habit, I guess…
I even went to open the door this morning and it swung open before I put my hand on it! Has death granted me some forbidden magic which I couldn’t wield in life?
March 7th At first I tried the rope, but I just ended up swinging in the wind all afternoon, wondering what the hell I was thinking. Then I tried the pistol, but that just left a gaping wound. I. Can’t. Die. But I feel everything…
Oh, how I envy those who are still living! And those who are dead and in peace! Even the mindless toys of the Resurrectionists at least do not have to endure their inhuman existence with their minds intact. But what am I? What did I do in life to deserve this punishment?
There are so many more who deserved so much worse.
All those worthless people, squandering their lives. They

Today I began to rot. My limbs are bloated, and the skin has started to peel away and decompose. Worst
of all, I can feel it. I can feel the sting as my flesh dissolves. I can feel the pressure in my ribs as my
organs bloat. I feel every ache. I feel every nagging little agony as nature tries to reclaim my body.
I can barely hold the pen to write this entry.
