"A man of science and reason, wielding arcane technology and commanding esoteric knowledge. Part of an order devoted to unraveling the eldritch secrets of the world, and bringing the light of reason to its darkest corners. He has come to the Estate in search of greater understanding. He has the means and the determination to find it.

He may come to wish that he had not."
– The Ancestor

Beyond Mortality adds a new hero class uniquely qualified to combat the eldritch powers on the rise at the Estate – the Paracausalist! A science-minded man wielding an experimental weapon system, powered by an enigmatic energy known as the Vril.

The Paracausalist has the means to deal heavy damage with his ranged abilities, though to sustain his damage output he must push his power source, the Vril Engine, to dangerous limits. He is also effective at disrupting and impeding the enemy party. His damage-dealing abilities are especially effective against Ectomorph-type enemies.
