Details[]
Hyperic is an ishkia sanctor that takes care of patients suffering from melancholia. However, he does not know what melancholia is and believes that Sanctist prayers will solve the illness.
Eupha and the protagonist get involved with him during their Rank 2 follower bond event when Eupha notices the smell of incense in a church in Port Brilehaven. According to him, he was taking care of Ovi, an eugief whose mother fell horribly ill. He appears to be friendly and tells the mustari Eupha that he will teach her about Sanctism if she is interested. In their next meeting, he and Eupha have an exchange on their respective religion and asks if she and the protagonist wants to convert. The protagonist turns down the offer and the conversation was interrupted when Ovi's mother let out a loud voice. Hyperic goes back to the church to take care of the patient.
Unbeknown to himself, taking care of melancholized patients caused him to succumb himself. On their rank 4 follower event, Eupha and the protagonist go to the church's sickroom to meet Hyperic again, who was taking care of several patients. According to him, the patients were affected by a mysterious illness that they cannot identify, and they even hired a skilled healer to no avail. Those who are afflicted are prone to violence and only Sanctist followers are affected, which makes him believe that the illness is caused by demonic possession and that only prayers to the Almighty will solve it. In actuality, the disease is heavily implied to be melancholization and he and several others are putting themselves at risk by locking themselves in a place filled with stagnant magla exerted by the melancholizing patients and becoming obsessed with dispelling it through Sanctist prayers. He shows the first signs of succumbing to melancholization himself when Eupha tells him that there must be other methods than prayers to solve the infections, where unlike the previous time where he came across differing opinions, he became unusually hostile and drives them away from the sickroom. The next time the protagonist and Eupha return to the church, they were driven away from the doorstep by several hostile Sanctists accusing them as pagans, again indicated by Eupha to be melancholizing as well.
Eventually, they return to the church and found out that all of the patients in the sickroom and Hyperic are missing. However, the sanctor left a diary stating that he and his believers will soon throw themselves to a volcano. Eupha deduces that he went to Mt. Vulkano to sacrifice himself and his followers in a fit of melancholia-induced insanity. They go to the volcano alongside the rest of the party during Eupha's rank 7 event, where he was found almost succumbing completely to melancholization and on the verge of becoming a human himself, barely even capable of making coherent sentences. They put him down and save the believers he kidnapped, and managed to convince the believers about the dangers of blind faith, including the group of hostile sanctists prior and earn their trust.

Trivia[]
- When the party kills Hyperic, all of the believers he took care of (and tried to throw down into Mt. Vulkano) automatically regain their senses. This implies that Hyperic was burdening all of their anxieties and putting him down releases all of the magla back to them.
