Character Spotlight: The Confessor — Horror’s Most Devout Nightmare

In a world built entirely with AI actors, some characters aren’t just eerie — they’re fundamentally wrong in ways that make your skin itch and your brain whisper, “No, don’t look.”

Enter The Confessor — a being so warped and unsettling that even the abandoned factory begins to feel sorry for you.

Who Is The Confessor?

Played in Human Error by the AI actor Lukas Reinhardt, The Confessor isn’t your typical antagonist. There’s no clear origin story, no tragic backstory dossier tucked into a dusty journal.

Nobody knows where he came from (Yet). Nobody knows how he was made.

All we know is what he believes — and that’s where things get disturbing.

Saint or Psychopath? The Line Has Already Shifted

The Confessor believes that all humans are sinners — every single one of us, from the friend who forgot your birthday to strangers innocently walking down the street. In his mind, that makes all of humanity ripe for purification.

But here’s the truly twisted part: he derives energy from it.

Not sunlight. Not power cells. Not ominous humming machines (well, not just those).No — he feeds on human suffering.

Every gasp of fear, every attempt to escape, every internal scream fuels him. You might think fear powers ghosts or monsters. The Confessor? He runs on existential dread. He’s the kind of guy who reads your soul like a menu and orders dessert first.

The Embryo Device: His Heartbeat, His Shrine

Strapped to his chest — a grotesque fusion of tech and theology — is the Embrace Device: a pulsating apparatus containing an embryonic form.

Is it alive?

Is it mechanical?

Is it a metaphor for his warped agenda?

The Confessor doesn’t just see it as a source of energy — he believes it is his child.

He insists he is both father and mother to it, a divine paradox wrapped in wire and pulsing cells. In his own deranged logic, that makes him a holy vessel.

He thinks he’s a saint.

A saint with a God, but in his own warped way.

A God that whispers, “Cleanse them.”

And if he can purge the world of sinners — defined as any human he encounters — he’s convinced he will ascend.

Not just to heaven… but to become a saint worshiped by the church itself.

He’s Not Your Average Monster

He’s not a jump-scare gimmick.He’s not a haunted doll.

He’s theology gone off the rails, morality corrupted, and devotion turned into a weaponized psychosis.

Where others see suffering as something to avoid, he sees it as nourishment.

Where others see sinners as flawed people, he sees them as fuel.

Where others see a horror story, he sees salvation through suffering.

This is not a villain you run from — it’s a horror that wants you to see it.

To watch you.

To judge you.

To feast on every ounce of your fear.
