Soul Porter

The Soul Porter is a unique entity which appears in Wyrd Games’ Malifaux universe.

Description
A small, hunched, humanoid spirit, the Soul Porter dresses in rags, furs, and tattered armour which conceal most of its body and wears a large, wide-brimmed hat which, when combined with the scarf with which it covers its lower features, ensures that few know what it really looks like. It also carries a curve-bladed spear which is ridiculously long for its small size, but is very proficient in its use. The Soul Porter is the personal totem of Resurrectionist/Ten Thunders Master Yan Lo, and is only ever found by his side.

What the Soul Porter actually is (or was) is open to debate; some believe it to be the spirit of a dead man which Yan Lo has bound to his service, whilst others are of the opinion that it is an ancestor-spirit, sent to help Yan Lo in his endeavours in Malifaux. In any case, the Soul Porter, whilst capable of combat on its own, is most useful to its master through its ability to lend magical strength or knowledge to Yan Lo. It is also capable of siphoning off the life essence of nearby enemies, and passing this power on to its allies.
