Baal and Aym are supporting antagonists of the 2022 roguelike action-adventure game Cult of the Lamb. They are the children of Forneus, who were taken away by their mother to be given to The One Who Waits and be raised as his faithful servants.
Personality[]
Since they each speak only once in the entire game, their personalities are mostly unknown. It's clear that they're loyal to their master and that they don't take those going against him kindly. It also appears that Aym is more violent than Baal, at least judging by his dialogue.
As Relics of the Old Faith reveals, the two deeply love their mother, tearfully hugging her once reunited. Aym is cemented as the slightly more violent of the two, threatening to attack after being recruited and training to become a warrior after being reunited with his mother. Conversely, Baal is portrayed as the more level-headed of the two, actually thanking the Lamb for their service should he and his mother reunite.
Biography[]
At some point in the past, Shamura took away Baal and Aym from their mother to sacrifice them to The One Who Waits so that they could keep him company. When the two arrived in the void where The One Who Waits resides, the god of death decided to take the kits in as servants.
The two siblings appear whenever the Lamb finds themselves in front of The One Who Waits, although they never speak or do anything particular, and this includes the case in which the Lamb accepts to be sacrificed by the cruel god.
However, if the Lamb turns against The One Who Waits, Baal and Aym will respectively offer themselves to take care of the Lamb. Despite their powers, however, the two perish in battle.
Should the player have Relics of the Old Faith installed, however, this will not be the end of the twins. Within this new update, the Lamb finds themselves ascended to godhood status, and makes friends with an unnamed benefactor. This mystical seller will give the Lamb an assortment of goodies in exchange for God Tears, with two of these rewards being the Light and Dark Necklaces. Giving these necklaces to a Follower before sacrificing them will cause Baal or Aym to appear instead, respectively.
From there, the pair are servants to the Lamb, joining their cult and becoming Followers. While the Lamb could keep them around, they could instead take them on a crusade, where they can potentially reunite with their mother Forneus. Upon seeing her, the two immediately rush to her in tears, and Forneus gives the Lamb two Relics in her gratitude.
Should the Lamb return to Forneus, they will find that Baal and Aym have disappeared once more. Speaking to their mother reveals that Baal wished to go globe trotting while Aym started training to become a warrior. Additionally, the duo can be randomly encountered on a crusade, thanking the Lamb for what they have done.
