The preceding owner of the estate the game takes place in, the Ancestor's endless need for entertainment and his obsessive fascination with the occult are the cause behind many of the evils plaguing the land. The Ancestor is the secondary antagonist and narrator of the dark fantasy video game Darkest Dungeon. ~ One of the lines the Ancestor says upon the player's victory, and the Ancestor's most famous quote. Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow, and insidious killer. ~ The Ancestor in the intro cinematic for Darkest Dungeon. It is a festering abomination! I beg you, return home, claim your birthright, and deliver our family from the ravenous clutching shadows. You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial. Our every step unsettled the ancient earth, but we were in a realm of death and madness! In the end, I alone fled laughing and wailing through those blackened arcades of antiquity.

I lived all my years in that ancient, rumor-shadowed manor. You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial, gazing proudly from its stoic perch above the moor.
