Cloakfather

A Cloakfather is a manipulator and deceiver, often masquerading as a traveling merchant, preacher, or caretaker. It gathers followers by offering “protection” from unseen evils — evils it often conjures itself. Cloakfathers thrive on worship and attention, their layered skin storing not only voices but memories of their victims, allowing them to perfectly impersonate them for decades.

They speak in plural pronouns, referring to themselves as “we,” and are often found near crossroads or in forgotten towns where laughter has long died out.
