Executor

The Executor is an orderly wearing a stage costume provided by the Theatre — a heavy cloak and a bird mask.

Description
"Orderlies—the volunteer medical assistants—use these costumes borrowed from the local theatre as protective cloaks. This is the traditional costume of the Reaper, an allegory of Death. The mask of Muu Shubuun, «the wicked bird.» Part of the Reaper costume from the local theatre. It doesn’t have eyeholes: the mask is mounted above an actor’s head, who peeks through a hole in the cloak."

Executors are characters who play many roles. Sometimes their presence is caused by in-game matters, such as the spread of infection or to deliver information to characters; in other cases, they breach the fourth wall in order to speak directly to the player — often appearing to explain discrete game mechanics or to represent the game’s developers.

The Executors will appear as both plague orderlies in protective costume, as well as figures of the Sand Plague. These figures are often referred to as Talon (known as Claw in Pathologic) and Beak, two Executors with a meta knowledge of the game's events. These specific Executors may be present during midnight pantomimes.

They are your ever-present companions who guide you through the game — or perhaps deceive you. They also appear at the end of each day at the Theatre to perform a pantomime based on the events of the day, or to predict the future.

It's hard to say how many Executors there are in the Town and if the Executor appearing here and there are the same two people or not.

Pathologic
If the player fails to complete certain crucial tasks, or if the Plague otherwise advances, an Executor will appear outside the door of a Bound who has fallen ill as a result. The player will be unable to speak with the sick individual unless they provide temporary medicine, or outright cure them.
