Pathologic: The Marble Nest Minor Characters

This is a list of the minor characters that appear in Pathologic: The Marble Nest.

Blacky
Blacky is a young boy who lives with his stepfather in a flat in the Neck.

Shortly after being woken up, Bachelor is informed by Sticky that Blacky's stepfather has become sick. Upon examination, Bachelor determines that Blacky's father has died of a stroke, not Sand Plague. When Bachelor turns away from declaring Blacky's stepfather dead, he discovers that Blacky has disappeared, replaced by a manifestation of the Plague masquerading as an Executor. Out on the street, a commoner accuses Bachelor of heartlessness for failing to take Blacky under his care.

Sticky refers to Blacky and his stepfather as "the Blackers," suggesting that "Blacky" is a nickname shortened from his family name. Blacky shares a palette-swapped model with Cookaroo and Sleepy Head.

Bürged
Bürged is a Herb Bride and a member of the Steppe camp south of the Cathedral.

After the Bachelor attempts to speak to Bürged she tells him that she is not allowed to speak as there is a celebration soon. Following the Herb Bride's wedding to the Earth Bürged tells the Bachelor that the wedding was to sacrifice the Herb Bride, returning her to the Earth. The Bachelor is appalled but Bürged explains that the Kin do not fear Death as he does.

In the DLC version of Pathologic: Marble Nest, Bürged has no name and is listed as "Herb Bride" in dialogue.

Cookaroo
Cookaroo is a young boy who lives in the Bridge Square.

Bachelor finds Cookaroo by the drugstore guarded by a sentry. The two strike a deal: Bachelor will use his position to get past the sentry and toss Cookaroo any medicine he finds inside through a broken window on the second floor; in exchange, Cookaroo will split the profits with him. Among other medicines, Bachelor puts a case of Shmowder and a vial of Panacea through the window. However, Cookaroo drops the vial of Panacea, shattering it.

Cookaroo shares a model with Sleepy Head and a palette-swapped model with Blacky. He claims to be Khan’s best friend.

Dora Feugel
See Dora Feugel.

Gull
Gull is a woman who lives in the Bridge Square. During a discussion about souls becoming imbued in architecture, Gull tells the Bachelor that she can still hear Eva's voice emanating from The Stillwater after her suicide.

Gull shares a palette-swapped model with Dora Feugel and a Refugee.

Lotman
Lotman is an individual living in an infected house with Siskin. The Bachelor finds Lotman and Siskin in the Silent House discovered by Sleepy Head, Shrew, and Sticky. Bachelor quickly realizes that Lotman and Siskin are the carriers that he's been looking for; however, both are delirious with fever and refuse to reveal how they contracted the Sand Plague. Instead, they tell Bachelor that the Plague is the key to immortality. Bachelor subsequently orders their quarantine.

In both the demo and full release of Pathologic: The Marble Nest, there exists a visual bug when speaking with Lotman - the camera behind their model will swing around in time with Lotman's animations. Lotman shares a model with other infected adults.

Magpie
Magpie is a young woman who owns a shop in the Bridge Square. Magpie informs Bachelor that sentries have closed the drugstore, preventing townspeople from getting medicine. She demands the Bachelor request the Committee lift the ban on shops being closed. If the ban is lifted, she will sell medicine at the shop.

At the end of the day, several Army personnel will execute Magpie and her fellow protesters, regardless of the Bachelor's orders to open the shop or not.

Magpie shares a palette-swapped model with Oriole and Widow. In the DLC release of Pathologic: The Marble Nest, Magpie is known as Confused Woman.

Marat Ranin

Oriole
Oriole is a young woman living under quarantine in the Bridge Square.

Oriole tells Bachelor that she lost her soul gambling with the Masks in the Bridge Square. She informs the Bachelor that the souls of those who live in houses in town linger even after they've passed, and that she's been hearing a voice from the deceased owner of the Stillwater around the empty building.

Oriole shared a palette-swapped model with Magpie and Widow in the original demo. She has since received a different model, shared with other Townsfolk named Oriole.

Oriole's "lost soul" mirrors the loss of the Haruspex's fate by the Fellow Traveller in the main game.

Shaazgai
Shaazgai is a Kinsman who lives in the Steppe camp south of the Cathedral. As the Bachelor approaches the Steppe camp Shaazgai decides that he is a snake-man and gives him the nickname "Moga".

After the sacrificial Herb Bride wedding, Shaazgai transforms into an Odongh.

Shaazgai shares a palette-swapped model with Tagtaa, Shar Shuvuu and a Believer.

Shar Shuvuu
Shar Shuvuu is a Kinsperson living in the Steppe camp south of the Cathedral.

When approached by the Bachelor, Shar Shuvuu tell him that he is not to be in the Steppe camp, as they are planning a wedding and he is not allowed to watch. After the sacrificial Herb Bride wedding, they transform into an Odongh.

Shar Shuvuu's human model in the Pathologic: The Marble Nest demo was a woman, shared with Kayura models. Shar Shuvuu shares a palette swap with Shaazgai, Tagtaa, and a Believer.

Siskin
Siskin is an individual living in an infected house with Lotman. The Bachelor finds Lotman and Siskin in the Silent House discovered by Sleepy Head, Shrew, and Sticky. Bachelor quickly realizes that Lotman and Siskin are the carriers that he's been looking for; however, both are delirious with fever and refuse to reveal how they contracted the Sand Plague. Instead, they tell Bachelor that the Plague is the key to immortality. Bachelor subsequently orders their quarantine.

Though Siskin shares a name with the Siskin child townsfolk, this Siskin seems to share a model specific to infected adults and is entirely separate from the child.
