Artful

Who is he:
The Pursuer is a dangerous apex predator of unknown origin, even its physical abilities are unknown. It is highly intelligent, an excellent hunter, and can speak, but prefers to simply roar. Its primary goal is to hunt down and eliminate civilians. One of its signature phrases is "AHH, FRESH MEAT!"
‎
Appearance:
Pursuer's skin is black (except for its head, which is white), covered in thick, fluffy black fur. This creature's build is actually quite slender, but its paws are very massive and large (it prefers to move on all fours, but can sometimes walk on two). Its head is white, and on it is the face of Ahenobarbus Henocied, a light turquoise shade (its eyes glow in the dark). In its hands, it holds an entirely black version of the Linked Sword.
‎
Abilities:
Pursuer has several skills that make him an aggressive and dynamic killer:
Swing. A quick strike with the claws.
Cleave. The Pursuer dashes forward with a sword strike. Upon impact, it deals a massive, fatal blow and inflicts additional bleeding. The bleeding target is highlighted for the Pursuer, aiding in subsequent pursuit.
Howl. Pursuer howls, creating a wave that slows all civilians within a 100 stud radius for 6 seconds.
Stalk (Unshroud). Grants invisibility and speed boost, and allows you to see civilians anywhere on the map. While active, you cannot attack or use other abilities.
‎
Playing style and tactics:
The Pursuer is a classic rush-down assassin: focused on quickly closing the gap, harassing opponents, and applying constant pressure. His strength is the highest movement speed in the game, allowing him to easily catch civilians.
‎
Character:
Always hungry, hates people, very aggressive and hot-tempered. If he senses danger, he'll attack without hesitation and tear you to pieces. And yet, it remains to be seen how he'll behave if he's "tamed."

Biography and character:
Artful is a French illusionist. From birth, he was closely involved with magic and even became a popular star. But after one particularly disastrous performance, emotions got the better of him: Artful allowed himself to "take out his disappointment on the entire audience." Afterward, he became a fugitive, too afraid to face justice. He is 26 years old.
‎
Appearance:
Artful has white skin and a wicked expression, partially obscured by a black, crumbling mask—it resembles the mask of the Phantom of the Opera. He is dressed formally: a wide-brimmed black hat (or fedora), a white shirt, a black tie, a black vest, black trousers, and black shoes. He holds a black and white magic wand.
‎
Role and abilities in the game:
Artful is a "trapper": his strength lies in setting traps and restricting the movement of survivors.
His primary ability is to create a wall directly in front of him with a wave of his wand. This helps block escape routes or trap victims.
Passive ability - All of his traps are highlighted for him at all times, making planning easier.
He can also summon puppets that slow down survivors.
Important gameplay nuances:
Artful has low damage and speed, so without proper use of his abilities he will be weak.
In open areas, it is more difficult for him to effectively block routes - it takes time to set traps.
Due to Artful's low health, he himself is vulnerable and is often hunted by other players.
‎
Interesting facts:
Artful knows other killers, like Harken and others, but he fears Pursuer most of all. He's deathly afraid of this creature, so he always tries to avoid places where this shaggy beast usually hangs out.
He still wants to return to his job as a magician, but because of his past, he immediately gives up on this desire.
