Fend

Fend is a secret character added in Fiend Folio: Reheated. He is a perverted imp that is not really good at anything except being a janitor.

He starts starts the run with two Red Heart containers and a Soul Heart, 4 Pennies, and Spirit Sword with the unique appearance of a mop. This mop can deflect enemy projectiles, similar to Spirit Sword's effect with Lost Contact.

Fend normally can not be accessed through the main menu of the game, and the player can only play as Fend through through entering commands into the debug console or by editing the players.xml file in the Fiend Folio MOD.
