## Lore

Very little is known about the Slender Man, except for its appearance: a towering figure clad in darkness, its face blank and featureless. It has always been a curious and elusive creature that has caught the unfortunate eyes of those that would become its victims. Though mysterious it may be, there are rumors that it hails from a realm not our own, and that it travels to countless in search of prey. In its travels it would find the Entity's realm, where its victims would always be open for the taking...

### Unique Perks

**The Faceless** comes with **3** Perks that are unique to him:

At the start of the trial, **4 random Hooks** are changed into **Scourge Hooks**:
* The Auras of scourge hooks are revealed to you in **white**.

Whenever a Survivor is hooked onto a Scourge Hook, the following effects apply:
* Regression progress is increased by **5 %** for each Survivor within **16**/**20**/**24** **metres** within that Scourge Hook’s radius.

 **Hornet’s Sting** | Encountering the likes of you leaves a scar that won't heal.
Whenever you hit a Survivor with your *Basic Attack*, the next Survivor within **40**/**50**/**60** **seconds** that completes a *Healing Action* on them, they will become injured.
 **Rerouting Power** | They won't know their mistake until it's too late.
Whenever you damage a Generator, *Rerouting Power* activates for **120**/**180**/**240** **seconds**:
* The Generator is highlighted in Bright Red.
* Whenever one or more Survivors are repairing the affected Generator, the Generator with the most progress starts regressing. When a regressing Generator hits 0, this Perk will move onto the Generator with the most progress.

*Rerouting Power* can only affect one Generator at a time.

## Power: Operator's Presence

Whenever The Faceless are not moving, he is Manifested. While Manifested, Survivors that find him will gain *Interference* progress.

Filling up the **Interference** meter advances them to the next stage.

* Stage 1: Leaves them open to be attacked by The Faceless the next time they see him.
* Stage 2: All actions involving Progress are reduced by 20%.
* Stage 3: The Survivor will scream out, revealing their location, and will suffer from the Exposed and Incapacitated status effects for 30 seconds. Furthermore, all Survivors within **16m** of that Survivor will have their aura revealed.

Survivors can collect one of Eight Pages to remove **Interference** progress. A page that is collected will respawn at a different location **48m** away from its original location.

Any form of movement Demanifests The Faceless.

**SPECIAL ABILITY: DARK IMPRINTS**

Every 15 seconds while moving, The Faceless passively leaves behind a Dark Imprint, which lingers for 15 seconds. Survivors that catch sight of a Dark Imprint will develop half the **Interference** they would when encountering The Faceless.

While in a chase, The Faceless will leave behind Dark Imprints every 5 seconds.

If a Survivor is suffering from Stage 1 **Interference**, The Faceless can allow a Dark Imprint to attack that Survivor should they find it, but at the cost of removing a Stage.
