Biography

Life

During the colonial times (1600s), Isabella Smith sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to New England in search of a better life. But as the tight-knit townsfolk didn't trust outsiders, Isabella became isolated from the rest of the town.

When the town's livestock began to die mysteriously, shortly after her arrival, Isabella was accused by the local preacher of witchcraft. She denied the claim, but then the preacher fell ill, and the town quickly turned against her. They cornered Isabella in a barn, which they lit on fire, but she emerged, completely unscathed.

So instead, Isabella was sentenced to a slow, painful death in the stocks, where passers-by stoned her, cursed at her and spat at her until she eventually died of starvation.

Pilgrimess

After Death

Following her death, Isabella's spirit remained bound to earth, and was later captured by Cyrus Kriticos to become The Pilgrimess. The Pilgrimess was then moved to the basement of Basileus's Machine with the other eleven ghosts.

Dennis encounters the Pilgrimess in her containment cube in the basement. The Pilgrimess is presumably either the seventh or the ninth ghost to be released.

She chases Arthur, Dennis, Kalina, and Maggie through the house, but the four are able to reach the house's library and seal themselves inside before the Pilgrimess can follow them in.

Later, a Latin chant causes the Pilgrimess, along with the other eleven ghosts, to go to the centre of the machine and power it up. When The Pilgrimess and the other ghosts are freed from the trance, they throw Cyrus into a rotating crest of rings. The house then explodes, destroying its walls and freeing The Pilgrimess and the other eleven ghosts.

Trivia

  • If one looks closely when Dennis comes across the imprisoned Pilgrimess, her containment cube is covered in thick cobwebs and dead leaves.
  • As noted by Cyrus, it is unknown whether or not Isabella really was a witch in life.
  • In the original script, the Pilgrimess was called The Buried Lady.
  • Being from the 17th century, this most likely makes her the oldest member of the other twelve ghosts.
  • The Pilgrimess is the only ghost not to have a Latin inscription beneath her symbol in The Arcanum.
  • She is the fourth female ghost in the zodiac.
  • Her ghost file is represented by a damaged Holy Bible.
