Hi there! Your art is interesting and hope to see more of it! :) The devs said the inspiration for Talbot and Blight is Jekyll and Hyde. There are people who want Talbot to be separated from from Blight and they are asking to add him as a survivor, what do you think? Lorewise, it makes sense and it will be interesting to gain him as an ally again. Can see some survivors who met and know him, trying to get him back since he did trials with them.
Hi anon! Really glad to know you liked my art.
Funny thing is, since I've followed the Hallowed Blight events since their first shot in 2018 and always pictured the Researcher as a Survivor (so cute and innocent and obsessed with Vigo Sensei), it's hard for me to accept that he and Blighted Killer Talbot is the same person, even today, lol.
However I'm not looking forward to seeing him as a playable character in game anymore. Lore-wise, the Fog is a cruel place and Talbot has to pay certain price as he messed with the Entity. He's tortured and lost most part of his humanity. The degeneration seems irreversible, unfortunately. And I don't think the survivors will miss him much as Talbot experimented on some of them which is implied in his Adrenaline Vial add-on.
