Micolash (Bloodborne)

Micolash (also known as Micolash, Host of Nightmare) is a boss of Bloodborne, a leading member of a branch of the Healing Church known as the Choir and the School of Mensis.

Appearance
Micolash is seen wearing a dirty, tattered brown Mensis uniform and a Mensis cage over his head. His skin-tone is dirty much-like Gehrman, with a short-haircut and a sickly expression.

Personality
It is not entirely clear what Micolash was like before his time within the nightmare, but it is clear that he was a devoted and high-ranking member of the Healing Church, being one of the leading members (and a possible founder) of both the Choir and the School of Mensis.

As a high-ranking member (and possible founder) of the Choir, Micolash wished to achieve true greatness and enlightenment through the Great Ones. To do so, he wears a cage-like headpiece known as a Mensis Cage, which is said to "isolate the will of the individual to see world for what it really is" and to act as a conduit for the Great Ones. He repeatedly prays to Kos to "grant [them] eyes" and "cure [them] of their idiocy." His institution would kidnap infants as a means of luring the Great Ones, and was prone to doing nightmarish experiments and rituals on citizens, orphans of their orphanage and even other members of the Church, implying a sadistic, paranoid and even antagonistic view of his own fellow members.

He seems to possess an intimate understanding of the metaphysical properties of his own universe, as he understands that he dwells within a dream and that if he died within the dream, he would only "wake-up" and "forget everything" as a result, thus having a great fear of dying.

It is clear that from the way that Micolash mutters his prayers that his experiences - as well as whatever insight he has collected during his studies and stay within the nightmare realm - has driven him mad.

Powers and Abilities
Micolash was originally a normal human being before his ascension, possessing no abnormal or supernatural abilities.

After the Choir members were sent to the Nightmare, Micolash was granted a variety of abilities. He has the ability to teleport, use various Arcane abilities and animate marionette like enemies to fight for him. His physiology is astral-projected through the Nightmare, his body having died and decayed away along with nearly every other member of his institution. Because of this, he would be unable to "wake up", dying when the Hunter kills him.

Micolash one of the few members of the Choir during the Nightmare ritual who actually appears in the Nightmare realm, implying that Micolash is stronger than most and was able to survive the transition.

Trivia

 * It is implied that Micolash may have been a student of Master Wilhelm.
