Felkin, the Outcast

Lore

Felkin is a sorcerer and hexer. He sits silently in a chair staring at a rock wall.

He appears to be a human (not undead - as he does not associate himself with the Undead or Hollow: "All that are left… Are either Undead or Hollow… Save a few misfits like myself…hah hah.") who came to Drangleic because Dark runs deeper there than anywhere else. He was originally a student at the Melfian Magic Academy, but the teaching he received on Sorcery and Pyromancy did not appeal to him. Perhaps they were beyond his grasp, or more likely, they did not teach him what he was truly interested to know.

He was drawn to studying the Dark because it felt familiar to him, almost nostalgic. This led him to realize the Dark is within everyone.

Felkin seems to believe that the Dark is a sentient force and therefore has a will of its own.

Theories

Felkin came to Drangleic at the behest of Aldia.

Dialogue

First encounter (with INT and FTH under 8):
"I don't know who you are…But leave me be.
The frailty…of the weak… Disrupts the Dark…"

Talking again (with INT and FTH under 8):
"Leave me alone.
I am interested in one thing. Dark. You haven't the gift."

First encounter (with INT and FTH above 8):
"The Dark stirs…
I see… The Dark has sparked within you…
My name is Felkin.
I will trade with you. What do you need?"

Greetings:
"You are… Always welcome… Yes…?"

"The Dark… Watches over you…"

When leaving, having used his services:
"Come again… As you like… The Dark… Is always within you…"

When leaving, without having used his services:
"No matter… The time will come…"

When walking off without notice:
"Till we meet again."

Talking:
"This land… Lies closest to the Dark… Th-that is… That is why I came here.
This kingdom… Collapsed long ago.
All that are left… Are either Undead or Hollow…
Save a few misfits like myself… Hah hah."

"I w-went… I went… I went to a great school… In the south… But neither sorcery nor pyromancy appealed… I…
I-I learned nothing…nothing at all… I-it was there that I happened upon the Dark.
It drew me in… The nebulous Dark…
Soon, I was drawn to this land, where Dark runs deeper than anywhere else."

"Hexes originated in… Ancient times.
They were once… A form of sorcery. But the practice was lost… Then later rediscovered.
Those devoted to hexes are a lonely lot… But nevertheless… They give their lives to their art.
Such is the fate… Of we practitioners of Dark…"

"What drew me to the Dark… I… I… I do not know.
Hexes ar… Are more than mere tools to me…
I feel affinity… And warmth… Something universal, nostalgia… Even…
Those who discover Dark… Realise this… And… they never come back."

When giving equipment to the player:
"These… Are for you…
Together, into the Dark…"

When attacked:
"Hrk…"

"What are you doing?"

"Stop this."

When attacked and made hostile:
"You've let Dark… Take control…"

When killing the player:
"One day… I will share your fate."

When re-encountered after made hostile:
"I cannot… Let you have this."

When attacked and at half health:
"Ahhhh… Ahh… My… My… Dark"

When killed:
"Look… The Dark… I see it… I see it…"

Unknown:
"Dark… Deliver me…"

Hexer's Hood
Hood worn by a hexer. Grants slight increase to spell uses. Belonged to Felkin the Outcast. Hexing appears to be an offshoot of sorcery, but its specific origins are unknown.

Hexer's Robes
Robes worn by a hexer. Belonged to Felkin the Outcast. Those who have a taste of dark are drawn into its vortex and rarely return. Perhaps it appeals to something deep within the human soul.

Sunset Staff
A staff said to have been forged in Aldia. A catalyst for sorceries and hexes. Particularly powerful for casting hexes. The mysterious Lord Aldia secluded himself inside a manor to conduct various experiments. Those invited to the manor disappeared, replaced over time with malformed beasts that roamed its halls.

Dark Weapon
Felkin the Outcast applied his art to transform Magic Weapon into a hex. Adds dark damage to the types of damage the weapon already inflicts. Those who choose the path of dark are admonished by all manner of sorcerers. But this does not stop the curious from being drawn to this strangely alluring craft.

Resonant Flesh
A hex developed independently by Outcast Felkin. Transforms a certain number of souls into HP over a period of time. Something gained, something lost.
