Lore

"A right and proper cleric, only, he developed a habit of devouring men.
He ate so many that he bloated like a drowned pig, then softened into sludge, so they stuck him in the Cathedral of the Deep.
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might.
Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?"

— Hawkwood the Deserter on Aldrich, Saint of the Deep

Aldrich became a lord by devouring men, but was disillusioned with his throne, and so took to devouring gods instead.

— Description of Aldrich's Cinders

+ show Additional Lore

When Aldrich ruminated on the fading of the fire, it inspired visions of a coming age of the deep sea.
He knew the path would be arduous, but he had no fear. He would devour the gods himself.

— Description of Soul of Aldrich

Aldrich dreamt as he slowly devoured the God of the Darkmoon. In this dream, he perceived the form of a young, pale girl in hiding.

— Description of the Lifehunt Scythe

General Information

Formerly known as Aldrich, Saint of the Deep. He is a Lord of Cinder that has devoured Dark Sun Gwyndolin.

• Homing Darkmoon: Strafes and creates many Magic homing orbs.
• Moonlight Volley: Fires a Moonlight Arrow upwards that rains a cone of arrows in front of him for 8 seconds.
