Revenants

A Revenant is an individual who has been infected by a Slaver Wasp. They are thus servants of the Other, forced to obey the Other's command voice. There is no known cure.

There are at least three different kinds of Revenant, created by at least two different type of wasp.

The most commonly recognized kind, for a long time the only known kind, tends to shamble around a lot and generally act like a mindless zombie. They are created by the standard wasp.

A more subtle type of revenant does not display any signs of infection until given a command. These revenants can apparently lead normal lives if never exposed to the command voice, although there is still no way of removing the infection. They are created either by a more successful infection by the standard wasp, or by an improved version.

A third type of Revenant was seen in the town of Passholdt. These were highly mutated, skinny and pale, with bulging eyes. They were created by a type of wasp developed by Snarlantz, a spark in the town of Passholdt who had been in charge of safeguarding many of the Other's slaver wasp generating hive engines. He worked to try and improve the wasps, but the most dramatic result of his research was the infestation that apparently destroyed both himself and the entire town.
