The Butcher
Rip
“Woof woof, no need to be scared. I don't bite.”
Rip "The Butcher" is a Vanguard hero of the A Temple guild with 1250 HP, 42 Defense and 1 Range, with the passive ability "Bloodthirsty".
Notes
The highest HP in the game at 1250. Bloodthirsty grants Attack worth 5% of his Max HP on Rush and refreshes his Rush skills whenever he or an adjacent enemy first drops below half HP — a vanguard that accelerates through brawls.
The Enraged stacks Max HP, Attack Speed and Omnivamp and can be applied repeatedly — the aggressive line. The Glutton permanently grows Max HP per Rush and raises all vanguards from the backup slot. His kit scales off Max HP, so HP items are literally damage for him.

Lore
Current work
He's a frontliner with a reputation for tearing the heart out of whatever he kills, a habit left over from his old job on a cleanup crew hauling monster carcasses He Awakened mid-shift; A Temple was the only guild that showed up to recruit him. Behind the mask he's entirely sane. Most teammates need time to work that out.
Motivation
Point him towards fresh meat and he'll join your slaughterhouse gladly. Your recruiter gets about thirty seconds to do so.
