"Mad Scholar" codex entry
The game's own description of this enemy.
In-game codexPuppets dressed as scholars, with no books of the sages in their hands and no words of virtue on their lips. Only Chaos Fire pours from their mouths, eager to burn everything for the Lady.
After more than a decade of arduous study, these scholars from humble homes left their village and slowly learned the truth: powerful families had every road to advancement in their grip. All their lofty ambitions were little more than a joke at the tables of the rich.
Despairing, they returned to the village and worshipped the Lady day and night. Even in their dreams, they longed for her to send down a cleansing fire and raze the world's injustice.
