Keep in mind that leprosy is not that contagious and that to realistically get it from direct transmission would take months of physical contact. Baldwin wasn't just providing comfort to the lepers for a little bit, he was doing it for months, possibly years before it got to him. What a Chad.

Wrong and not wrong. Leprosy isn't *that* contagious, true, but a little more than brief contact with nose fluids can and will infect you. Embracing the bedridden and sick who probably have little to no access to hygiene would infect him quickly. To add to that, leprosy can stay incubated/symptom-less (not sure here) up to even half a year. So, probably more like months.

@Chad Suave nope. Lepersy originates in insanely unsanitary, damp/wet, places with all sorts of shit around it which transfers onto people after prolonged exposure That said, there's alot of stigma and misinformation around the disease and because of that those areas stay filthy and gross and the people there forced to stay there with little to no aid. So it appears to "spread like hell" but in actuality it's just people stuck there with more people getting out there and not enough treatments to reduce it all

She do look away from the light, but gives more the vibe that she doesn't care what fate thought of her poisoning her abusive husband (her portrait shows her not being sad or remorseful, but utterly disinterested and more captivated by the dagger she fiddle with. In fact in one of her barks preceding a chapter of her lore suggest the only thing she regret about poisoning her husband is that she did it in an impulse rather than carefully planning it and was sloppy as a result.

Most of Darkest Dungeon characters were monsters or broken people in their past. Jester is a completely insane psycopath Grave Robber, even tho her husband was abusive and what she did is understandable, became a vessel of her greed. Stealing even from the graves of those who do not deserve. Dismas was a monster. A ruthless bandit who cared only for money.... until... "his mistake." Now he is horrified by his actions. Kind of ironic for someone who has the name of the "good bandit". Plague Doctor took her teachers body without permition to satisfy her own curiosity. And payed the price for that. Runayay was a child who commited a mistake. A mistake that cost her the lives of her family. Hellion was a coward. And now seeks to die to find redemption through her eyes and the eyes of her people. Occultist? A power hungry little bastard who stole the power of one of the most powerful eldritch entitys in Darkest Dungeon world. And the people around him and his sanity payed the price for it. Man-At-Arms. A Noble turned soldier from the shame and guilty he felt to lead his soldiers to their deaths. But what the Lepper, the one overtaken by disease to the point of almost blindness has to be ashamed of? What did he do wrong on his past? He has nothing but reasons to be pround of what he was and what he is. A beloved, kind and just king. Even without his crown, his majesty countinues. And what he decides to do once he exiles himself from his own castle? Decides to help more people. Long may he reign. And even longer may he fight.

I see the darkest dungeon cast/party as being part of one of 4 groups.: - The psychopaths and powerhungry ones, either for Occult powers or Fortunes or Glory. (Jester, Antiquarian, Graverobber, Bounty Hunter maybe, Musketter kinda) - The ones who trully regret their decisions and wish to attone. (Highwayman, Man-at-Arms, Hellion, Occultist, Crusader, Plague Doctor kinda) - The ones ashamed of themselfs for a mistake, even thou they had no choice in the matter for things out of their control. (Runaway, Arbalest, Abomination, Vestal kinda, Houndmaster maybe) - The ones who did nothing wrong but wish to do more good. (Leper, Shieldbreaker kinda, Bounty Hunter maybe) I see these 2 to be close to Baldwins tier of "I did nothing wrong" for following reasons.: Shieldbreaker because she was a slave who didnt have much of choice, she was used as exotic attraction to earn cash for her captors, till she was bound to sold to a Vizier. So she chosse to escape at the cost of chopping off her arm and being considered "no longer beautifull". Bounty Hunter acording to his CC trinkets seems to be doing what he does not just for money, but to put a stop to criminals who wrong him or others, since one is the molars of I assume is several crime lords or gang leaders, with a vengefull list of targets. What exatly his getting payback for is currently unknow. Flagellant i have no fucking clue where he fits. He doenst seem to do nothing wrong to others besides abusing himself to fight Eldritch powers and madmen, but his only virtous/afflicted state, Rapturous puts him in a concerning area, hell not only hurt himself and put himself at risk but will target others in the party sometimes.

Darkest Dungeon always had a motley crew filled with those engulfed in weakness, insecurity and vulnerability, in true Lovecraftian fashion. Dismas was not able to accept the fact that he murdered a wife and child, and he constantly tortures himself for it. Paracelsus is a woman with knowledge, and yet, her words are constantly pushed by the wayside - she tortures herself out of hatred towards others, and thus is willing to go through immoral lengths to obtain vengeance through correction. Barristan was once viewed as a coward in the first Darkest Dungeon game - but now, he's viewed as naïve, defeated by something far greater than himself and the army that he led, unaware that he was being led to his own embarrassment. But the Leper is different. He is a hero in his own story, loved by all. He was noble in his youth, and he will continue to be until his disease takes him. He has nothing to torture himself over, he views the world in all of its beauty, and if there's anything which threatens that beauty, he will fight it to uphold it. A true stalwart that looks to the faintest of light rather than focusing on the monsoon of darkness which surrounds him.

I just love to imagine an undescribable horror just coming out from the darkness, the rest of the group runing, looking behind them and just seing him taking off his mask and runing towards the beast.

A man, who sufered now preventable desease, there where leprosy was long way fatal, he choosed to do whats right as a ruler, to help the people even before and after he got it, and to save the kingdom he exiled himself to stop its spread, even on his way he shows his carefullness to not spread it, DD1 if camping there was option to let the mask down to heal stress, one of his quotes is: "Dont go near, or you might catch it." If this man isnt a definition of chad, i dont know what it.

Leprosy is treatable, but it takes a regimen with more steps than "apply this cure and let him rest." been some time since i looked it up but apparently different medications are needed at different stages of the treatment, when done correctly it could cure completely too. point is, that was beyond the doctors of that age, a treatment either worked or not back then.

Most likely in his benevolent vision to help others, the Dark corrupted the morally pliable and cause them to become astray during the fateful excavation to ensure the Heart was properly taken care of. So the Hag was in her bid to treat the condition of the Crimson Curse and other common Maladies in the Weald became focused on pure experimentation The Prophet was a true madman who spread fear and loathing because he despised the Leper and accused him The Necromancer was trying bring back the dead to prove a King can live beyond death, but learning of the dark intentions had them executed The Siren was one of the former prostitutes blessed and aided by the Leper, but when she realized his love was for all similar women combined with an ailing body that leperosy was starting to claim bought an forbidden artifact to attract the mother of the deep and to free herself from the disease and become the Siren. The crew is self explanatory, greedy beyond belief and their own greed become their own undoing

He is the only hero looking directly at the light. All others can't look at the light.

Before I knew his lore he was on the bench. Now? I make damned sure the most wretched highway predators up to the incomprehensible beings that do not understand human virtues RESPECT THE BLOODY KING. They were athirst and he gave them drink, they were sick and he gave them succor, motherf*ckers got in the way of him being a man who belongs at the right hand of righteousness and he broke his blade off up their backsides before walking towards the sun and daring evil to give him a worthy death.

Most of those first drawn to the Darkest Dungeon suffer psychologically, but for the Leper, his damage is purely physical.

One of his abilities is literally The Chad Stride.

So basically he’s King Baldwin the 4th from the movie Kingdom of heaven. I can already hear the cries of “Jerusalem has come” in the comments. For the record his embracing the lepers had 50% to do with Christian duty and 50% had to do with a medieval belief that since king’s were supposedly appointed by God to their throne their touch could supposedly sometimes heal the sick.

Leper is best boy.

It was implied from his original comic (from around the time of the first game) that he was a king who had gotten Leprosy, and fro his quotes that he had chosen a path that would lead him to get Leprosy -meaning it likely isn't, as that came before COVID.

adding onto @Starshine Dropkick!, the Leper's 'canon' name is Baldwin, after Baldwin IV or Baldwin the fourth, also known as the Leper King who ruled Jerusalem. He was known as a very spiritual king and ruled justly despite his leprosy consuming him, as his kingdom flourished both financially and spiritually. So this isn't a ref to COVID

It was common practice to touch the diseased for kings and queens in those times, people believed it would help them.

Your distaste for compassion says a lot about you. Staying safe is importabt, and in real life I highly suggest people take the restrictions seriously. But the Leper's compassion went beyond his advsisor's - he personally went and tried to help those people that nobody else would.

@@starshinedropkick2668 I did not realize that from the comic. I rechecked and he indeed had a small crown silhouette. I thought his leprosy would be more accidental or not so outright careless. This game is indeed before covid, but it fits the shoe.
