Farmer
It might be a suprise to find the Farmer of the Besieged House in the list, but he actually used to be a Decayer. Even better, he used to be Brother Flame, one of the first Nuclear Torches in the cult. He was the favorite of the Glorious Blind and the Decay Cardinal, his mentor, but he left them when he met his wife. His future wife was held in a cage, waiting to be sacrificed. Instead, he killed all Decayers and fled with Olga to start their own life. He now also runs the Underground, a secret organization that rescues captives from the Decayers. In the final battle against the Decay Cardinal, he was worrying about the effects of his words on him. He said, if the flame inside him ever grew out again, you should kill him.
