Braxton Harless is a character in the Mafia III DLC Sign of the Times.
History[]
Background[]
Braxton Harless served as a General in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He was the head of the Harless family and the founder and prophet of The Ensanglante cult.
He and his family lived on a large plantation in western Frisco Fields that has since fallen into disrepair. He believed in the superiority of the white race, and would engage in "hunts" across the Midwest to kill the Native American population, whom he considered "savage filth". As a Confederate general, Harless was awarded a medal after slaughtering a large number of runaway slaves.
The Encounter[]
Braxton Harless first encountered Pere Sanglant, the entity worshiped by the Ensanglante, while on a hunt to eradicate the "savage Filth" in the Great Plains. In this encounter Pere Sanglant reached forth with his great talons, embraced his soul and spoke. From Pere Sanglante's mouth poured the blood of all mankind, filling Harless' nostrils, his ears, and rushed down his throat. While he was engulfed in the warmth of the blood, Pere Sanglant bestowed his wisdom upon Harless.
The Prophecy[]
Harless believes that it is the great consummation within his bloodline that will bear Pere Sanglant into flesh. That incarnation will be known as The Blessed. Upon the birth of The Blessed, the well-borns will rise and the filth will be washed away in geysers of their own blood.
