Adiris, better known as The Plague, is one of the playable killers in Dead by Daylight. The high priestess of Babylon, she is amidst a very dangerous plague that is killing her and her people.
Appearance[]
Adiris wears an old tattered robe and headdress with bandages tied in areas of her body while areas of her body show signs of decay and only a few strands of her once long black hair remain on her head.
Biography[]
Adiris was the youngest of a family of seven who abandoned her on the stairs of the Temple of Purgation when she was 5. She spent many years serving the church as an acolyte before being made high priestess when a deadly plague began to wipe out the people of Babylon. When one of her followers became sick, she severed her own toe and asked the gods for the woman to be protected. However, this only resulted in Adiris contracting the plague herself. She tried countless rituals, but to no avail, as Adiris banished herself and a few followers from the city to a cave. When they died, the bodies of them were never found. She was eventually recruited by The Entity.
The Maiden Guard[]
Adiris' lore is further unraveled in the tome Forsaken, centering around her struggle with the balance of love to her adoptive father, the high priest Haban, and her faith to the Sea-Goat, the Babylonian god of water and creation.
Haban declares the faith and sacrifices to the Sea-Goat as blind and "corrupted by politics," thus vowing to leave the city behind to rewrite the rules of Ur, a blasphemy that shocked Adiris deeply. One day, she meets the Maiden Guard, a religious group that punishes sinners, who then questioned her whether she encountered any evil; Adiris lied to the Maiden Guard to protect Haban. Haban gave Adiris the chance to leave behind the horrors she's witnessed, long before she heard a whisper from an unknown being (The Entity whom she believed was one of her gods). She punishes herself with a whip of thorns and bronze for doubting the gods, and makes the heart-wrenching decision of sacrificing Haban herself for his blasphemy.
On the night they were to escape the temple, Adiris donned one of the Maiden Guard's uniforms she stole and killed Haban with a burning censer, leaving her grief-stricken. She became the new high priestess when the mysterious epidemic came.
