>[!quote]+ *(You. . ./Who are you?) What in heaven's name are you doing here? The [[Volcano Manor]] is a pit of [[Recusants]] who spit at [[grace]] and hunt our [[Tarnished|own kind]].

Then I shall introduce myself once more. [[Bernahl]], a [[recusant]], just like you. [[Recusants]] have particular [[battle arts]], styled to our methods of slaughter. Why not add some to your repertoire?* >[!quote]+ Talk >*You've come to understand, now, eh? To take power and make it his own, The [[recusant]] must hunt his [[Tarnished|own kind]]. To raise the flag of revolt against this sanctified pillaging, We [[Recusants]] must become the most wretched of predators. All you can do is laugh.* >[!quote]+ After completing the second Volcano Manor quest >*Look at you. A [[recusant]] through and through. I knew you had it in you. Take [[Letter to Bernahl]]. A [[Letter to Bernahl|special invitation]], to hunt some of the first [[Tarnished]] who sat at the [[Roundtable Hold]]. If you should accept, I'll next see you on the field of battle.* >[!quote]+ After helping him in [[Leyndell]] >*Ah, I had hoped you'd soon return. I have [[Gelmir's Fury|the reward]] from [[Lady Tanith]]. Take it. It's yours, by right. Let us tread the path of the [[recusant]] together. Till we reach the miserable [[death]] that awaits us.* >[!quote]+ After killing [[Rykard]] >*So. You killed [[Rykard]]? I harbour you no ill will. The strong take. Such is [[Recusants|our]] code. Even he was prepared to meet a wretched end when he first took [[blasphemy]] unto his very flesh. But anyroad, the [[Volcano Manor]] is no more. Though we may yet fulfil an old promise. We hunted our own kind, and took what was theirs. And with everything in hand, the time has come to rise, against the [[Erdtree]].* > *O [[Greater Will]], hear my voice. I am the [[recusant]] [[Bernahl]], inheritor of my brother's will, and you will fall to my blade. We refuse to become your pawns.
