Brigmore Witches

This article is about the cult, the Brigmore Witches. You may be looking for the DLC, The Brigmore Witches.

The Brigmore Witches are a coven located in the city of Dunwall, taking up residence in the abandoned Brigmore Manor. While little is known about them, they are said to be powerful black magic practitioners who have at least some involvement with the Outsider.

They are hostile toward the Whalers, with their leader, Delilah Copperspoon, directing Overseers to attack their base and attempting to have Daud killed, and they are the main antagonists of Dishonored's final DLC, The Brigmore Witches. Some of the Brigmore Witches, including Breanna Ashworth, return to Delilah's side as part of her new coven in Dishonored 2.

Equipment and skills

Each witch receives her powers from Delilah via a version of Arcane Bond, similar to Daud and his assassins. Witches possess several supernatural abilities such as Blink and Thorns and can also perform a Windblast-like scream. Master Witches are capable of summoning Blood Briars, tendrils that pull and ensnare Daud, causing significant damage. When in combat, the Painted Flesh ability changes a witch's skin colour depending on their subtype. This change reverts with their death.

Melina demonstrates an otherwise-unseen power by destroying a room at Coldridge Prison, though it is unknown whether all witches have this ability, or exactly how it works.

Trivia

• The witches encountered in The Brigmore Witches are of the same subtype, all turning green during combat.
  • Delilah does not appear to use the Painted Flesh ability as her skin does not change colour.
• In Dishonored, the Brigmore Witches are mentioned in a note by Anton Sokolov about making statues of the witches for the Golden Cat.
  • They are also the subject of a note in the first building where Corvo is imprisoned during The Flooded District.
• In addition to serving Delilah, the Brigmore Witches take a particular interest in Daud; Delilah claims in The Knife of Dunwall that she is sparing him for the "sake of [her] sisters", and two witches in the Brigmore Manor solarium can be heard claiming their sisters speak of him with awe, "like stupid school girls".
• According to Harvey Smith, the Brigmore Witches are "a diverse mix, all called by Delilah's Arcane Bond power", and they come from different cultures and socio-economic levels.
• The first person to join Delilah was Breanna Ashworth, and "they roamed the lands, wild and free".
