Fellow Traveler

The Fellow Traveller is a character in Pathologic 2. He is considered a deceitful individual, but affects an approachable (or at least amicable) attitude. He runs the Dead Item Shop at night.

Description
The Fellow Traveller shares his appearance with regular drunkards and guardsmen around town. He runs a business called the Dead Item Shop, which can be located around town from 12:00 AM to 7:30 AM every day and will sell the player various medicines, foodstuffs, and supplies in exchange for items of interest, including organs and scrap items. These locations will be revealed to the player after they view the pantomimes at the Theatre, though it is not necessary to see the performances to visit the shop - one only needs to know where to find it.

He is first met on the train into town alongside the Haruspex, though it is unclear if he is truly a fellow passenger or simply an illusion. He asks to play dice with Artemy, though it is up to him if he decides to accept or not. If they play, he reveals he is uncertain if his arrival in town will be a good one, as he expects many people in town to be hesitant or even upset with his arrival. The conductor of the train will later speak with Artemy and explain that he was the only one present on the train trip in the cars.

{{textspoilers|content=After the player experiences seven to eight deaths and visits to the Theatre of Death, the Fellow Traveller will offer the player a deal. They will not experience the punishments given by Mark Immortell any further, but something of value will be lost. The player is given the choice to either accept or refuse, but they are not given a chance to choose again. Should the player accept, upon completion of the game and choosing one of the two endings, the Fellow Traveller will claim the player's spot in the finale, thus taking their fate.

Late Ending
In the Late ending, the player will find themselves being evicted from the Theatre after a discussion with Mark Immortell. After leaving, they will meet with the Fellow Traveller on the train once more, where he reveals himself an agent of death that will now be guided into the world alongside the Haruspex.}}

Dead Item Shop
Throughout the game, the Fellow Traveller will open a shop at different locations each night. These locations will be displayed on the map after visiting the Theatre and seeing the pantomime of the evening, but it is not required to visit the shop; one only needs to know where to find it. The Dead Item Shop's inventory may change depending on the day.
