ChapterDoomed Course

Cast adrift by a horrific tragedy, Portia Maye arose from the blood with renewed purpose: to inflict unspeakable pain on those who tore her family apart. With her loyal dog forever at her side, her insatiable lust for violence runs deeper than the darkest ocean trench.

Power

Scent of Blood

The Houndmaster and her dog operate as one, with her every command obeyed without delay. Use your dog to chase, track, and grip Survivors, allowing you to efficiently apply pressure.
 Special Ability: Chase
Issue the Chase Command to send your dog barrelling down a straight line. Using the Command again will redirect your dog, allowing you additional control over where he goes.
Once your dog catches and grabs a Survivor, that Survivor will be dragged toward The Houndmaster. They can escape a grab by stunning the dog or being rescued by another Survivor. If they escape without sustaining an injury from The Houndmaster, they will be Hindered.
 Special Ability: Search
You can use your dog to search for Survivors, sending them on a hunt. As it moves, the Houndsense radius widens, revealing any Survivor caught within. Follow your dog’s Search Path to gain a movement speed boost.
 Special Effect: Houndsense
Healthy Survivors affected by Houndsense receive Deep Wound when Injured. Injured Survivors affected by Houndsense suffer from slower crawl speed, louder Grunts of Pain, and longer Pools of Blood whilst in the Drying State.

Years later, she seized a passing ship and declared herself Captain, embarking on a voyage to track down her father’s killer.
