Trivia

 * The Heretic has the highest base health, and base damage of any playable character, at 440 and 18 respectively, they also have a base speed of 8m/s, which is 1 meter faster than every other playable character.
 * After completing a game as Heretic, you are put back in the character selection screen as an invisible character, however your skills are all replaced with a squawking ability "Nevermore" with a description: "Squawk a solemn reply". The ability has a 1 second cool down and produces an audible squawk in-game and is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's poem, The Raven. You can get the abilities again if you find a Lunar Pod on stage one, or if a player helps you reach the Bazaar Between Time
