Important Characters
Outlast 2: Story and Ending Explained
Outlast 2 doesn’t have an extraordinarily large cast, but there are a few characters you should know about. The story revolves heavily around these few individuals, and you’ll see their names pop up constantly.
Lynn Langermann – An investigative journalist who heads to the area to look into the suicide of a young woman who died under very mysterious circumstances.
Blake Langermann – Lynn’s husband, assistant, cameraman, and the person you’ll control throughout the game. He’s haunted by old memories from his childhood and fighting to find his wife.
Jessica Grey – A girl that both Lynn and Blake went to school with. She passed away a long time ago.
Sullivan Knoth – Leader of the Testament of the New Ezekiel (the cult you’ll run into during the game).
Val – Once a trusted member of the Testament of the New Ezekiel, now leader of the Heretics, a sort of rival cult. Something worthy of note is that Val is referred to as a man in documents you find written by other cult members, yet appears as a woman when you finally meet. It’s never outright stated if Val is transexual and the cult refuses to identify her as a woman due to their strong religious beliefs, if Val actually identifies as a man, or the character was altered. Based on the few docs and interactions you do come across with Val, we’re pretty sure it’s the first option.
Ethan – A nice man you meet in this hell of a town.
Jane Doe – The girl who kicked off the whole series of events with her suicide.
