—Overseer Sturgess describing the Outsider
The Outsider is a mysterious, morally ambiguous supernatural being, neither good nor evil. He usually appears to people of interest as a plain-looking young man with short brown hair and black eyes, wearing a brown coat, blue-grey pants and black boots.
—Ricardo Bare
The Outsider was born over 4000 years before the events of Dishonored. He lived as a human outcast with no known family in a ruined city. When he was fifteen, he was sought and taken by the Envisionned who saw in him all signs to become one with the Void, notably his age and bits of prophecy (the celestial movements and events like the mass dying of fish).[citation needed]
The cultists brought him to the Void through a place in Shindaerey Peak where the boundary of the ethereal world is the thinnest. There, they prepared him for a ritual: "he was bathed and dressed" in painted clothes, his eyes painted over, "his hands were adorned with [golden] rings"[citation needed] and he was drugged with potions and smokes that made him forget his memories, including his own name and age.
He was then restrained to a sacred Altar in a deeper layer called the Ritual Hold by the cultists. There, they slit his throat with the Twin-bladed Knife and he "merged in part with the Void". A spiritual image of him was turned into the god-like being known as the Outsider, an inhabitant of the Void. His physical body remained in the Ritual Hold, cast in stone as he was screaming in pain, unable to move or even speak, immortal to anything but the Twin-bladed Knife that created him. His name was also eternally lost to him, which was essential to the ritual. Unbeknown to him though, the Outsider's Mark is in fact his name, written in a language only the dead can read. Giving his name back to his physical body can break the ritual.
The Outsider first meets Corvo in the Void after the latter escaped Coldridge Prison. He gives him his Mark and the Heart, a tool to find runes and bone charms but also listen to people's secrets. Throughout the events of Dishonored, the Outsider observes Corvo and his actions, often appearing to comment his choices and their effect on the world. A...
Upon regaining interest in Daud, the Outsider reappears to the assassin, warning him of his inescapable conclusion, but revealing that the terms of his fate can be altered. He gives Daud the name "Delilah", which Daud discovers is a powerful witch planning to possess Emily and become Empress herself. At the end, the Outsider reminds Daud of all his...
In Dishonored 2, he appears to either Corvo or Emily as they are asleep aboard the Dreadful Wale to offer his mark. Whether the protagonist accepts it or not, he gives back the Heart, although with another purpose in mind. Throughout the events of the Coup, he watches and discusses the current affairs of the world, intervening on occasion to assist...
As stated in Dishonored: The Return of Daud, Daud went on his quest to destroy the Outsider after he appeared to him through recurrent nightmares. After Daud gets deathly weakened by the Twin-bladed Knife and captured by witches, he foresees the changes brought to the Empire by Emily's actions during her exile in Karnaca.
In Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, the Outsider observes the quest of Daud and Billie Lurk to destroy him. Quite apart from trying to preserve his own life, the Outsider appears to Billie for the first time and gives her relics to assist in her mission, including a new eye and arm. Far from being simple aids, these artifacts grants her the ability to see disturbances caused by the Void as well as powers not tied to the Outsider.
Eventually, Billie steals the Twin-bladed Knife from the Eyeless Gang and finds how to enter the Void through the lair of the Cult of the Outsider. There, she locates his physical body in the Ritual Hold and can closely examine his trapped body before making her decision to kill or free him. If Billie kills the Outsider, by stabbing him slowly in the heart, she resigns herself to be nothing more but a killer. Should she decide to spare him, she convinces a reluctant Daud to break the sacrificial ritual by whispering the Outsider's real name in his ear. After the Outsider becomes mortal, Billie takes him out of the Void, giving him another chance to live the mortal life that the cultists had taken from him.
In Dishonored: The Veiled Terror, a vision of the Outsider still appears in Billie's nightmares, warning her of the chaos that is to come following his separation from the Void.
The Outsider, as they call him, tells Jack to travel to Texas and wait for the group so he can kill them all. On visiting Texas, the group meets Claude’s mother who tells them of the Marysville hole, which was a site of death, and soon the group heads there, knowing The Outsider loved places of death and sadness.
Mar 9, 2020 · The Outsider has been billed as a limited series from the get-go. Naturally, that's never stopped anyone, especially HBO, from taking things further, even beyond a book (see: Big Little Lies).
