Zealous Assistant

Zealous Assistants are undead characters found in Act Two.

Involvement

The undead nurses are the reanimated workers of the House of Healing, serving Shar's Scalpel  Malus Thorm in undeath. They receive his instruction with blind loyalty, willing even to kill him or themselves if instructed.

Each nurse has identical statistics, though they can wield different weapons and some have other unique functions, such as the receptionist  Sister Sinda and trader  Sister Lidwin.

The in-game names of each nurse follows the convention "Sister [Name]."
