I will do anything for more power... even if it means selling my soul.

Kazan is the one called the heart of all demons. Kazan Syndrome, usually causes massive amounts of negative emotions, but it can grow stronger. Mentally breaking the infected person down to the point of a Frenzy, literally becoming a demon. No one could tell if a warrior infected by the Kazan Syndrome was a friend, or enemy. Their speed and destructive power, however, were outstanding.

10 years ago, the Blade Masters were sent to head to the Screaming Caverns to take out the danger that lurked. Roxy, who was with the Blade Masters, was a Berserker. She, along with Aganzo, Vaughn, Bwanga and Siran, faced off against one of the apostles, Sirocco. With no chance of defeating her, Roxy had to release the chains of her 'Ghost Demon' arm, unleashing the Kazan Syndrome, losing control over her body. Roxy went on a Frenzy, and ultimately destroyed Sirocco all by herself. But in the end, her life was sacrificed in order to end Sirocco. She is a prime example that showed that Berserkers are truly the most powerful warriors.

Awakening as a Hell Bringer

What makes a Berserker?

He is one who, without a second thought, slays the foe that stands before him. He does not deny, nor is ashamed of, his demon-possessed arm. He accepts the fact that the demon that dwells within him, at any moment, could destroy him. And he endures, even in the midst of the excruciating pain caused by Kazan Syndrome...

To those who choose the path of the Berserker, unimaginable strength is bestowed; however, embracing such a destiny comes with an acceptance that one’s life will end painfully and tragically. Tombstones throughout the continent mark the final resting place of Berserkers who were all unparalleled in battle but met harrowing ends. One by one, they evaporated...like a withering flame into thin air. Even given vast demonic energy, the Berserker is still a prisoner to the limits of the human body. Though they appear to fear nothing, even they cannot divest themselves of the most basic and human of feelings. They still desire to live.

Awakening into a Hell Bringer may grant them even more power, but it quickens the strangling coils of mortality. The Hell Bringers are known for their endless pursuit of vitality. By absorbing the blood of other creatures, their drink in their vital power. However, the more power gained, the more intense their own candle of life burns, bringing them ever closer to their ill-fated deaths.

Until then, Hell Bringers will be of tremendous help to the Dungeon Fighters. If you find yourself alone in a party with a Hell Bringer, just pray that his blood and vigor will last until the end of the dungeon.

Awakening as a Blood Evil

When forcibly drawn blood cannot escape Hell Bringer's body, it is quite terrifying. The blood rages out and escapes the body, and anyone within the vicinity will be terrified.

It has been said that they were given the name "Blood Evil", as the blood that rises from this process looks like a bloody ghost. However, to become Blood Evil, one must endure unimaginable pain. The ghost infiltrates the mind and causes illusions accompanied with great pain. It tortures and devours the body. Hell Bringers call this stage the "Metamorphosis." It is a stage one must go through in order to gain a new powerful body. However, weak Hell Bringers will lose their life during "Metamorphosis." The one who withstands the pain is given the right to be called "Blood Evil."

Blood Evils are able to control blood and manipulate it to form shapes. The shape that forms when they use this technique is the image of the ghost that was seen in their illusion.

Trivia

• The Berserker's theme is borrowed from Vikings of Ancient Norse Mythology who fought with a trance-like fury as they're often portrayed like this in popular media.
• For his titles:
  • His Korean 1st Awakening literally means hell-bent, befitting the Berserker's recklessness.
• He will be a playable character in the up-coming DNF Duel announced at DNF's 2020 Universe Festival currently in development by Arc System Works.
• One of his specialized weapons, the Zanbatō means horse-slaying sword dates back to Japan's Heian period.
