Truth

Echo

Reveal
In Fallen Grace, Cassie claimed to possess the Echo after killing a sybil who succumbed to the Defilement.[1][2] The Echo and Cassie looked alike but Sunny and Nephis assumed that it was because both the slain sybil and Dusk had been sybils ruling the same city. Sunny was also unwilling to learn what was hidden behind the red veil because the Echo was too eerie and revolting.[2] When Cassie removed the Echo's veil, it revealed a beautiful face identical to her own, but devoid of life. The Echo of the sybil, Torment, was hollow and expressionless. Cassie had never received an Echo for slaying the Defiled sybil, and there was no Echo of a sybil. The Echo was Torment.[2]

Plagues

Cassie met Torment six months after becoming Dusk. It was arranged by the Mad Prince and Torment herself, revealing that they were behind all of the schemes together.[2]

To escape the madness of Corruption, she received help from the Mad Prince, who was able to preserve a fragment of his humanity due to Sin of Solace's wraith. With his help, she turned her Defiled self into an instrument of her will.[3]

The Mad Prince made the Dread Lord use his authority against her. He added fuel to the paranoia the tyrant of Verge felt toward Torment, and then put the idea of what commands to give her into his mind. The Mad Prince and Torment were capable of resisting their vile natures, to a degree, and became perfect conspirators.[3]

After the Plagues reached the Estuary and used it to invade the next cycle of the Great River, Mad Prince, and Torment prepared for the arrival of new challengers. The Mad Prince trapped two of the Plagues on Aletheia's Island and two more in Twilight. Then, he completed the Key of the Estuary and entered the Source, becoming Sunny.[3]

One of the two had to stay behind because Torment had a message to Cassie that could only be delivered face-to-face. She infiltrated Fallen Grace, modified Dusk's shackles, and wrote an accord about previous cycles. Torment met Cassie in the Temple of Dusk, delivering the message. However, as she was still a Defiled, after completing her mission, she attempted to consume Cassie but was held back by the authority of the Dread Lord, resulting in her death by Cassie's hand.[4]
