The Confessarii (sing. Confessarius) are an organization in Arknights. They first appear in Darknights Memoir, make a brief appearance in Episodes 07, and are one of the antagonists of the Shatter of a Vision story arc of the Main Theme.
Background[]
While appearing to be a wandering healer group, the Confessarrii are actually a Sarkaz secret society that has investigated the mystery of Originium Arts through mystic rituals and inhuman scientific experimentation—examples include the experiment they performed on Liz, where they transplanted another person's consciousness into her body. For thousands of years, they have acted as counselors for numerous Kazdelian kings and nobles who seek the Lord of Fiends, and have even conducted research into its origin through the Sarkaz's blood memories.[1] Due to their heavy involvement in politics, they are currently acting as the right-hand men of Theresis, the Regent of Kazdel, and serve as intermediaries between him and those contacting or serving him.
The Confessarii are proficient in necromantic Arts; while they see life as something sacred, they also manipulate the power of life and death.[2] Through it, they are able to easily "slice" one's soul as if with a blade, and can possess others' bodies upon their death. If allowed, they can even perform rituals that "resurrect" the deceased, as in the case of Theresa.

Episode 07[]
At the climax of the Chernobog Crisis, the Confessarius' leader notes that Talulah, the leader of Reunion, had no outstanding background yet managed to rally Infected in order to take an entire Ursus city. He also notes that their opponents will use extreme measures to end the chaos she and Reunion had created. He remarks that Talulah is not just a "one-eyed leader among the blind" or "pampered princeling," but also "a conspirator." The Confessarius then informs Theresis that Theresa's successor is now part of Rhodes Island and that the "true King of Sarkaz" is ready.[3]
Episode 09[]
Theresis confers with the Confessarius' leader about the arrival of the lords of the Vampire and Nachzehrer Sarkaz clans in Londinium. The latter expresses relief that the never-ending wars were about to end. The Confessarius also mentions Dublinn and its recent actions in the southern part of Victoria. He mocks Dublinn for not being a good ally to Theresis and advises him to be wary of the group. He also remarks that though the leader of Dublinn appears to be a shady person, the group has the ability to tear Victoria apart, and thus thwart their grand ambitions.[4]

An awkward reunion between the Confessarius' leader and Shining
Intermezzi[]
Darknights Memoir[]
The Confessarius' leader receives reports from Hoederer, who chose to serve Theresis, of his service to Reunion from a palace in Victoria. He notes that while the report is not worth commending, the information in it is valuable, and he remarks on Hoederer's deeds. He also confirms that a certain individual had returned to Rhodes Island, much to Hoederer's surprise, and he tells him that he will be rewarded when everything is over.
When Hoederer asks the Confessarius about the other warriors, he answers that Theresis did not bother to step in and instead preferred to watch Reunion's activities. He also notes that W is a "loose end" and Reunion's crusade, while remaining a "source of chaos," might be useful to rally the Sarkaz. The Confessarius is offended when Hoederer questions why they're still going to use Reunion, and his anger causes the latter to withdraw his question. The Confessarius then informs him his presence is no longer necessary in Kazdel, granting him permission to stay in Victoria for the time being.[5]
