Dive into the lore of ULTRAKILL! Learn about the origins of key characters like Gabriel, King Minos, and King Sisyphus and their connections to Dante's Divine Comedy. Understand the nature of Husks, Filth, and Strays in Hell.
Hey there! So, you're curious about who's who in the bloody mess that is ULTRAKILL? Let's break down some of the characters you'll encounter, or at least hear about, as you blast your way through Hell.
Most of the enemies you'll be shredding are actually souls trapped in Hell, known as Husks. If a soul was pretty forgettable, they become a basic Filth. But if they were more significant or remembered, they might become a Stray, a Sisyphean Insurrectionist, or something even tougher. Basically, every soul ends up as a Husk.
Some of the big names you'll run into, like Gabriel, King Minos, and King Sisyphus, are actually major players from Dante Alighieri's *Divine Comedy*. They're pretty important figures in the game's lore, so keep an eye out for any references to them!
