THRESH

The Chain Warden

Wicked and cunning, Thresh is a malevolent specter that delights in tormenting opponents, imprisoning their souls in his lantern for all eternity. He uses his chain to attack from tricky and unexpected angles, while his lantern lets him teleport and summon jailed souls for aid.
