Judas de Certo was a mysterious figure who was regarded himself as a "friend" to the Morton family, but had a sinister hidden agenda. He was also the enemy of Edenshaw, who battled him for years.

Background[]

Judas de Certo was the former partner of Archibald Morton, who was the first Morton to inhabit Shadow Island. His origins are unknown, but he was responsible for turning Archibald's interest to the occult and the World of Darkness. Even after his death, de Certo lives on as a ghost guiding the Morton family in their research on the World of Darkness. He apparently has the ability to appear in any mirror in the mansion, and has been battling Edenshaw for many years, who ult stole De Certo's mirror, appearently greatly limiting the ghost's powers or movements

De Certo meets Aline in the Manor's attic, and enlists her help, ultimately attempting to trick her into gazing into his mirror, promising in exchange to reveal to the girl her father's identity . Aline however, thanks to Lucy Morton's advice, rejects him, however, and destroys de Certo's mirror. de Certo's spirit is apparently tied to the mirror, and shatters as soon as the mirror breaks. Aline then discovers de Certo had an Abkanis' table, and takes it.

Involvement[]

He only appears in Aline's storyline. She first encountered him in the attic of Morton Manor, after waking up in one of the bedrooms within Morton Manor.

If Aline goes back to Lucy Morton, she says that she knows that she talked to the "ghost behind the mirror" and not to trust him.

Strategy[]

When Aline is given the choice of handing Judas the mirror, she must deny him the chance to grab the mirror, smashing it up and presumably banishing the deceptive spirit.

If Aline gives Judas the mirror, she dies and it's game over.

Personality[]

Judas de Certo is a soft spoken and appearently affably entity, willingly to praise Aline for her help, but actually is a evil and selfish ghost, who only cares about himself. Lucy Morton openly says he always used his powers for malefic purposes. He has no intention to keep his promises, and is very ungrateful, as he plans to kill Aline once she is no more useful for him. He is very manipulative, promising affably the girl to reveal her father's identity, but quickly becomes aggressive and impatient when Aline shows to doubt him. He hates Edenshaw, as the Abkanis always, and successfully opposed him.

Quotes[]

Trivia[]

Decerto meaning "certainly" or "for certain" in portuguese, his name literally translates to "Judas for certain", alluding to his deceitful nature.

His name could serve as an allusion to Derceto, the possessed mansion from the first Alone in the Dark.
