**Description:** The Regime Wraith is the tormented spirit of a once-powerful leader, now twisted by the horrors of civil war and the loss of their former power. Cloaked in tattered remnants of regal attire, it glides silently through the remnants of its city, seeking to instill fear in those who dare to remember its reign. The wraith uses its haunting presence to demoralize its foes, striking from the shadows and targeting the weak-minded. Its tactics involve sowing confusion and fear, allowing it to pick off isolated targets while remaining elusive. The Regime Wraith represents the lingering shadows of tyranny, a reminder of the past that refuses to fade away.
