Lore
"'Also known as Zeng when he still walked among men as a mere mortal. Once a poet, he believes no great art can be achieved without pain and suffering. He now continues the same principals as a new god.' - The new gods when asked about the Zeng the Tormented Theorist"

The poet Ronn Chambara is a member of the Fellowship alongside François, Nilvan, Valteil, and the Maiden of Poland.

They embarked on their journey to become new gods in the year 809. They entered The Data Mines and ascended to become new gods. Zeng became the Tormented Theorist: a skinless figure with chains that torture his balls over a hundred years, he extends his suffering to other creatures inside the shrines of The Data Mines - the Red Men are some of his subjects.

He now resides in the hall of New Gods with other inactive entities, meaning his reign has come to an end.

Location & battle
idfk lol

The husk of your body can be made in a pit of a collapsed roadway in present time of Ancient City, right to the chained angel - throw a stone to test out if it is the right location. The stone should fall somewhere nearby. Jump down, open the shortcut back to the alley on your right, then make your way to a room full of husks. Use the vat with the black liquid oozing out in the cave to make the husk. It will follow you to the Temple of Torment. There is a shortcut to the Temple past the husk room.

Approaching Chambara will instantly trigger the first phase of his boss fight. During the first phase, Chambara can use two different abilities: Pummel and Chains of Torment. Chains of Torment deals the most damage out of all his attacks, but he doesn't use it as often as his other ones.

After defeating the Tormented One in the first phase, blood would be flowing through the canals throughout the Temple of Torment which would fill a massive pit. Should the player try to exit the Temple, Chambara will rise from the pit of blood, beginning the second phase. During the second phase, The Tormented One wields the Wheels of Torment: three round, metal contraptions with spikes that orbit around Chambara. Each wheel would rotate during Chambara's turn in the boss fight. The wheels can only be stopped for one turn when a character attacks them. Defeating Chambara in this phase will allow the player to obtain the Tormented Soul.
