The Torturer

Background

The Torturer is a torturer for the Catholic Church in Germany.

During the events of The Church (1989) played by Enrico Osterman

A group of Teutonic Knights ride towards a village. The Accuser calls to them and shows them a large bolder outside of a cave with the number 6 written on it three times. He leads the Knights into a cave that lets out into an opening. The Accuser sees Mira and says she is a Satan worshiper. The Torturer tells the leader of the Teutonic Knights that Mira and her people have brought a plague of evil. The Leader opens his helmet as Mira offers him water and asks if he is going to hurt her. The Leader grabs Mira by the face and crushes her skull. The Accuser grabs Mira's foot and shows The Leader a cross shaped wound on the bottom of her foot. The villagers are then slaughtered. A woman hides a baby in a basket and wears a basket as a disguise and manages to survive the slaughter. The villager's bodies are put into a pit and when The Torturer sees one of them slightly moving, he orders the pit filled in and a church built over it to imprison the evil. The survivor is chased down by the Leader of the Knights and is stabbed to death with a spear. After the pit is filled, a large cross with a multi-eyed goat head decoration is placed in the center of the church. After building the church, The Architect is tortured by The Torturer. He is accused of being an alchemist and he says the church blame whatever they don't understand on the devil, including the plague. The Torturer then shoves the secret of the church into The Architect's mouth and kills him.
