Each round the Librarian will spend his first turn using Page Burner, damaging the books immediately in front of him. The Librarian begins combat at the back of the enemy party the other 3 ranks will be filled with various stacks of books. Should he manage to burn them all down, he will then be able to Ignite himself, freeing up the use of his most powerful ability and threatening to engulf the heroes in the flames as well. Even as he fights the heroes, he continues to feed the conflagration by setting fire to the books around him.

Taking advantage of the chaos and smoke created by the fire, he is capable of dealing a large amount of damage, as well as disrupting heroes by 'categorizing' them and inflicting blind and vulnerable tokens. The Librarian sits atop a moving ladder, attacking heroes by throwing burning book pages as projectiles. As he destroys the fragile work of countless centuries, he gets closer and closer to his own illumination, ready to set books and flesh alike ablaze. Seeing humanity's knowledge as impious, he has rejected his duty to safeguard knowledge and culture, choosing to immolate the treasures he was charged to both curate and protect.

Once dedicated to the preservation of the knowledge within the Great Library, when the denizens of the city surrendered their flesh and mind to the flames, the Librarian fell into their ranks, imposing himself as the zealous leader of the sect, burning his flesh until his bones lay bare.

Of all the cultists who make up the Fanatic horde, the Librarian has arguably fallen the furthest of them all.
