Atticus Thorn is the primary antagonist of the video game adaptation of The Haunted Mansion.
Background[]
Thorn is the Grand Master of the Order of Shadows, an evil cult devoted to wiping out all forces of good from the land. He has survived for ages beyond his natural life by consuming the very souls he bends to his will.
In the video-game he is fixated on tracking down the Beacon of Souls which is in possession of the protagonist, Ezekiel Holloway.
Trivia[]
- At the beginning of the Mausoleum battle, Atticus refers to Zeke as a "foolish mortal," much like what the Ghost Host from the original ride when guests enter the Stretching Room.
- He is also voiced by voice-actor Corey Burton who tends to portray the Ghost Host for overlays and park-events, doing an impression of original voice-actor Paul Frees.
- An unused version of the Mausoleum line is longer than what is used in-game: "Foolish mortal! Only if you can survive until the bell tolls shall you be deemed worthy and permitted to enter."
