ENTRY 06: THE LEGION (Frank, Julie, Susie and Joey)
"The Legion are a close-knit group of murderous Killers, linked by the desire to dole out pain in equal measure. Keep the injuries coming with Feral Frenzy, a high-intensity sprint that can set off a devastating chain reaction. Survivors will be constantly tending to their wounds, leaving them vulnerable to be picked off one by one."
LORE SUMMARY: Frank was a violent, angry kid who roped three friends into joining him on nights of wanton violence and "debauchery" of all sorts. After Frank finally killed someone, The Entity saw enough potential in him to call him into the fog, and his friends followed.

Legion is a simple and straightforward slasher kind of character; just a young jackass who likes hurting people and has some in-game perks when it comes to chasing victims around. The twist is that there's technically four different characters here, but that doesn't really impact the gameplay; you can just switch between the four as different cosmetic options, basically. The entity supposedly didn't intend to collect them all, and it really seems to only barely distinguish between them as individual people, which raises a lot of interesting questions about how exactly the being functions.
It's an alright gimmick, and fills in the killers with something more down-to-earth I suppose. All four are expanded upon in comics to give them more complex personalities than being just plain Rotten, of course, but we'll be here all day if we get into it all and this is a monster review website, not a troubled teenager review website.
BEST SKIN(S):
"RODENT KING:" covered in ghostly rats, with a circle of non-ghostly rats covering the character's face. I don't know the lore this might reference or exactly which of the four characters this represents, but the "rat king" reference is fun and the multi-rat face mask is a very novel idea.
"CHIMERIC HORDE:" the single most interesting thing about Legion is their seasonal ichor-dripping skin, because it's explicitly all four of them merged together with multiple faces and limbs visible in the sickly, mutated flesh!
