Joshua

The Archbishop of Death

Practitioners of the religion known as Mortem Aeternam believe in freeing people from their unholy urges by murdering them in cold blood, and Joshua, their Bishop of Death, is no exception. Once he develops an Obsession with another hero, their death turns from a possibility into an inevitability. Going on a Blood Hunt for his target, he hacks and slashes his way through their bodies, and ingests their blood; bonding their bodies with his Cursed Blood. All who attempt to stop him only end up harming their ally, since nothing can break Joshua's Immortal Body.

Lore
Mortem Aeternam is a violent religion practiced by those in the lands west of the Bleeding Hills, worshipping the goddess Mortem. The religion is practiced by all sorts of sadists and lunatics who claim to be cleansing beings of their sins by killing them. Young Joshua's devotion to the religion, led to him becoming a prominent member, to the chagrin of the. While other clergymen were committing massacres in the name of purity, Joshua loyally studied the scripture and the various parables within it, which pleased several other followers. Eventually, the other clergymen feared the power of Joshua's influence, and attempted to murder him within the basement of the main church. He attempted to fight back, even managing to draw blood from one of the other clergymen, but it was no use, as he was outnumbered. Joshua was left bleeding on the floor, about to die from a ritualistic sacrifice, when a cloaked figure walked up to him. The figure took off her hood, and took his hand, and said five words to him.
"Cleanse them of their sins."
When he came to, he found that one of the clergymen that he had bitten had wounds matching his own. Reinvigorated by an insatiable lust for violence, Joshua murdered all of the clergymen. Now, the Bishop of death and his followers purge all those deemed unworthy of their goddess, and sacrifice the worthy to sate their goddess's lust.
