AggressorThe Killing Floor

The Butcher

Relentless pressure through sacrifice.

Lore

Before it wore the mask, it kept the ledgers of a failing slaughterhouse on the edge of town. Every animal accounted for, every cut weighed, every debt paid in flesh. When the work ran dry, the counting did not stop — it simply found new things to measure.

Those who wander onto the killing floor describe the same sound: a slow, patient sharpening, always just around the corner. The Butcher does not hunt. It waits for you to understand that you are already inside its ledger, and that the numbers have never once balanced in your favor.

Playstyle

The Butcher trades its own resources for overwhelming tempo. By sacrificing Presence and Fear early, it forces the opponent into a defensive spiral, closing the ritual through sheer relentless pressure before they can stabilize.
