The Candles

The Candles is the main protagonistic faction of the 2016 video game Deadbolt. They serve as The Flames' scouts and spies, mostly giving information about the main targets to the Reaper.
While they only played a minor role in a few of the game's chapters, the Candles play a more significant role, especially in "The Dredged" story arc's missions "Vall" and "Ibzan", where they assist the Reaper in eliminating Ibzan's subordinates guarding the Corpse Portal. They are later seen at the "Home Sweet Home" chaper.
==Overview==
The Candles are a group of black humanoids with anthropoid-like features and heads that resemble a lighted candle, as their name suggests.
They often serve as the spies of the Flames gathering information for the Reaper's targets.
==Background==
The Candles appear as the backup to the Reaper on his missions. The Reaper firstly encounters one during the first mission, as well as in various locations where most of them were murdered by the Undead, including the Zombie Kingz.
They, however, play a more important role in The Dredged story arc, when they were sent by The Flames to kill the female Demon and the Dredged's deadly sniper known as Vall. However, by the time they arrived, the Reaper had already dispatched her.
In "Ibzan" one of the Candles assisted the Reaper in reaching the corpse portal, which is heavily guarded by Ibzan's minions, while proceeding to dispatch most of them along the way.
