Judith Vienhick Scarron

Judith Vienhick Scarron is an Archamian businessman who once ran a small shop outside Archamine Castle. For whatever reason, he was exiled from Archamine as a whole, where he would travel to Karthot and stumble upon The Second Mask. The mask causes Raori to possess him, causing him severe mental distress, often coupled with muscular strain. He is seen and described as wearing several items that attempt to thwart her influence, such as a cross necklace, rosary beads, old Archamian rings, and a band made from wooden rosary beads. Despite wearing and holding Christian items, Scarron does not follow any standard religion, only believing in specific gods (such as Solis and Ahriman). He is, however, a major part of the Cult of Yarin, serving as the cult's leader.
== Abilities ==
Judith is relatively weak, but hard to kill by normal means; mostly due to being strengthened by magic. While under Raori’s control, he’s incredibly nimble, has an unusual proficiency with firearms, is almost impervious to pain, and is able to cast magic without willpower, similarly to Belial. He is the hardest early game boss in My Normal Obsession, as his attack pattern is often chaotic and unfair. Plus, he's immune to most elements the player has in their arsenal at that point in the game's progression, and he uses the same class as the player, adding extra variability to the fight. More information about his fight will be added in a separate wiki page.
== Lore ==
Scarron's mask, dubbed "The Second Mask", is a powerful mask made from the skull of a PlagueBringer, created by Anesthesia not too long before Scarron was born in The Empire. Unbeknownst to Anesthesia, PlagueBringer bones have a unique property that allows them to trap the souls of Gods, although they will assume control over any mortal being that picks up or otherwise touches the bone they're trapped in. Eventually, they could break out of the bone if it is destroyed, swallowed, etc., or if their "host" dies. It is an agonizing process for both the host and the God/Goddess involved (Scarron and Raori in this case). After discovering the mask partway through Valhalla: The Story of the First Sage, Scarron begins terrorizing both Frim and The Doctor in their respective plots, nearly killing the former with his own gun. He stalks The Doctor, learning all he can about his life and how he approaches combat in hopes that he can counter his methods, only to be killed by a hit from a morning star in Chapter 8, where he is pronounced "dead" until 3 years before My Normal Obsession.
After he breaks free from his burial site, he starts terrorizing Harandal, where he is taken into the local insane asylum's custody after 5 months. He spends 2 years at the asylum before he allegedly goes missing, killing 4 armed guards on his way out. It isn't until My Normal Obsession that he's finally defeated again, where it's revealed that he's been hiding from society in the Cult of Yarin's temple. After his death, the Cult storms the asylum he broke out of, blaming Edward K. Dime for his death.
== Trivia ==
* Scarron's mask has empty eyeholes thanks to Cactus' long hair obscuring them.
* His last name derives from "Farron", a location in Dark Souls III.
* The lore reason for Scarron resembling The Doctor is because Scarron frames The Doctor for several crimes, including theft and murder. They also look similar, although Scarron wears a different blazer and thin gloves made of spandex.
