The Last of Us Season 2’s Seraphites cult explained

The religious cult known as the Seraphites in The Last of Us was formed by a female leader referred to as the Prophet.

She believed that the overuse of technology caused the apocalypse, and humanity must return to more traditional living to seek redemption.

The Seraphites earned the nickname “Scars” because each member had a distinct scar carved into their face, resembling a Glasgow smile. The group referred to technology as part of the “old world.” According to the Prophet’s teachings, they could only use “old world” tools in combat scenarios to defeat the WLF.

Are the Seraphites part of The Last of Us 2 game?

The Seraphites play a major role in The Last of Us Part II as they battle the WLF for control of Seattle.
