The Butcher (vampyre)

The Butcher is an erratic vampyre who created the Pestilent Bloat, an undead monstrosity made from dead body parts of various creatures, for Verzik Vitur. While his main goal in making the Bloat was to please Verzik in hopes of receiving a reward, his notes also suggest that he feared a punishment from her if he did not succeed.^[1]

When he reported to Verzik Vitur's chambers to show her his creature, he found her chamber empty except for her Nylocas; he then became fearful that he had witnessed something he was not meant to see.^[2]

Despite the disjointed and seemingly incoherent nature of his writing, the Butcher hid messages within his book, with a sequence of unusually capitalised letters warning the reader not to trust "her". Additionally, a few lines of apparent gibberish are anagrams, which, when unscrambled, state that Serafina was betrayed, Verzik Vitur is dead, and that the Nylocas will rule.
