Executioner

The Executioner is a henchman of Chai in Home Sweet Home Episode 2. Although blind, he serves as a formidable and dangerous enemy.

Overview
A massive man with a long, curved scimitar used to behead criminals, the Executioner serves as the secondary antagonist in service to Chai. Likely drawn by karma, his remains were taken and resurrected to serve as a bodyguard and a blood sacrifice towards Chai's end goal of obtaining power.

Personality
Nothing of the Executioner's personality is shown in game: all that is seen is a mindless husk enslaved to Chai's whim. However, his backstory indicated he was an honest, loyal, and strong person but also one that adhered strongly to his principles, even going so far as to disagree with his master.

Early life
In the past, the Executioner was a loyal and honest man in service to his master. He was physically blind, but always performed his duty. However, one day he had a major disagreement with his master, infuriating him to the point where the master ordered the executioner's assassination.

A giant, muscular man proficient in the use of his sword, he was also covered in strange tattoos that rendered him invulnerable to damage, even from magical weapons. However, the master's assassins found a weakness: his eyes, which were not tattooed, so they poisoned him through his eyes. Weakened by the poison, the assassins were able to subdue him and killed him via drowning. He was given a burial by the governor with full respects in recognition of his servitude.

Home Sweet Home 2
In the present day, Chai, the son of a local gravedigger, began collecting souls and digging up bodies to serve as his undead slaves. This included the dust-like remains of the Executioner. Bound to a new master's will, the Executioner was now no more than a dangerous, mindless brute who rarely went far from Chai's side.

When Tim confronted Chai with a magic knife, the Executioner ambushed him from the darkness, swinging his sword. Tim barely managed to deflect the blow aimed at his head, shattering the knife and losing two fingers on his left hand. He was then chased to the Novice Monk's church where the enemy could not follow. Chai later set a trap for Tim using a doll to trick him into getting cornered atop a cliff, where the Executioner captured him with ease. However, Tim was later able to escape his cell in the underground temple, and a furious Chai ordered his strongest minion to find the escapee. The Executioner hounded Tim's every step, but Tim was able to elude him and misdirect him using loud gongs that hurt the brute's more sensitive ears. However, just the same as in life, nothing could hurt or defeat the Executioner; even an old muzzle-loading cannon at point blank range only knocked him back. Tim was able to sneak past him long enough to stab Chai in the neck, causing the minion to seemingly turn to stone just short of taking his head off.

To Tim's horror, Chai reappeared not only seemingly alive, but fused to the Executioner's body and able to control it as his own. Even after a lengthy battle that left him subdued, Chai's new body was not destroyed for good until a massive stone pillar collapsed onto it. It is unknown if his spirit was allowed to pass on.
