Micolash, Host of the Nightmare

==Summary==
Micolash, Host of the Nightmare is a boss in Bloodborne fought in the Nightmare of Mensis. Micolash was most likely a former student of Byrgenwerth, until he went insane after contacting the Great Ones by using the Mensis Cage. He implies that he is aware of the Dream World.
A popular theory about the Nightmare of Mensis, and Micolash, in particular, is that all beings found in the Nightmare are people that attempted to make contact with the Great Ones. The Mensis Cage placed on one's head traps the thoughts of its bearer, and upon their death, are immersed into the dream as themselves or other freakish incarnations. This might explain Micolash's death quote "now, I'm waking up, I'll forget everything." as his consciousness exists only in the Nightmare, and that upon being freed (Killed) he will awake to find only his own corpse.

*A Call Beyond: Originally intended to be a breach into the Cosmos and let the Choir commune with the Great Ones on their "Star-World", the rite failed and led to the accidental small explosion of a star when used instead. The rite allows one to breach the Cosmos, cause the destruction of a star, and use the energy from its destruction in a weaponized Arcane projectile form.
*Augur of Ebrietas: A remnant of the eldritch Truth encountered at Byrgenwerth. Use phantasms, the invertebrates known to be augurs of the Great Ones, to partially summon abandoned Ebrietas. The initial encounter marked the start of an inquiry into the cosmos from within the old labyrinth, and led to the establishment of the Choir.
*Student Set: Uniform of the students of Byrgenwerth, a bygone institute learning. This set boasts high Arcane damage resistance.
Intelligence: High (Holds extensive knowledge of the arcane and Great Ones given his use of A Call Beyond and the Auger of Ebrietas, knows that the world of Bloodborne is merely a dream and has direct contact with the Great Ones through the Mensis Cage)
Weaknesses: Doesn't like to directly confront his enemies in combat unless it's unavoidable, somewhat weak to fire and electricity of sufficient strength
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Rally: A core mechanic of a hunter's fighting style, the ability to heal for part or all of the damage taken from a recent attack by retaliating with their own attacks. This allows a hunter to use an offense-centric, high risk/high reward style of combat, giving them the ability to sustain themselves by constantly attacking and counterattacking the enemy. However, this ability requires the opponent to be biological in some manner, as it is done in part by 'bathing in the opponent's blood' and does not work on inanimate targets or spirits.
*Visceral Attack: A unique and brutal technique in a hunter's fighting style, using a firearm or projectile Hunter Tool such as the Blackskye Eye or Augur of Ebrietas to parry an incoming attack, The Hunter briefly staggers the opponent, leaving them open for The Hunter to drive their hand into the opponent's torso or skull and tear out large chunks of their organs, dealing a large amount of damage. This can also be used on an unsuspecting enemy, hitting them with a fully charged heavy melee attack to stagger them in the same wayVisceral Attacks.
*Blood Bullets: A technique used by hunters as a means of conserving or creating ammunition for firearms in place of Quicksilver Bullets. Using their own blood as a substitute, a hunter is able to create a seemingly limitless number of Blood Bullets so long as their vitality holds out.
