The five serial killers, also referred to as the Heralds of the Apocalypse or simply The Five, are Legion's enforcer who wreak havoc in the world of the living, Liveside. They are all psychopatic serial killers who were turned into undying half-demons.

In Game[]

The Five are:

  1. Marco Cruz
  2. Milton Pike
  3. Avery Marx
  4. Jack the Ripper
  5. Victor Batrachian

Mama Nettie's file in the game contains their profiles, as compiled by NYPD cop Thomas Deacon. The notes consist of sketches, general information about the killers, and the poems they left at the crime scenes.

None of the Five are mortal men any more, as they each carry one Dark Soul. When they take damage in combat or are almost defeated, their appearance begins to resemble that of a Trueform. To defeat them, Shadow Man has to destroy each member with the Shadow Gun once they taken enough damage.
