Butcher render
"One, two, a Butcher's crew. Three, four, a bloody floor..."
—A Butcher

Butchers are an enemy featured in the Dishonored DLC, The Knife of Dunwall. They are encountered in Slaughterhouse Row.

Butchers come in two variants: those who wield a gang cleaver--similar to the type used by the Bottle Street gang--and those equipped with huge whale oil powered buzz-saws. The latter have whale oil tanks strapped to their backs, in a manner similar to tallboys. They serve as slaughterhouse managers, cutting up whales for their oil, and holding rank over the laborers in the Rothwild Slaughterhouse. This status is often achieved through prior connections to Bundry Rothwild himself--most of the men hired as butchers served on whaling vessels with Rothwild in his youth.

Unconcerned for the safety of others and willing to put their buzz-saws to malicious use, butchers are highly skilled opponents who can cause high damage in close and ranged combat, using a function of their saws to shoot metal particles at their target.

Trivia

  • When entering the slaughterhouse in the mission A Captain of Industry, Daud can observe two butchers arguing with a factory worker. Eventually one of the butchers kills the worker with a buzz-saw, claiming afterward that he just wanted to frighten the man.
  • Butchers with buzz-saws can be heard coughing deeply past their masks, implying some danger to the lungs either in operating the buzz-saw or cutting into the whales. 
  • Two butchers can be heard discussing how one Butcher's hands were cut off for touching another worker's buzz-saw.
  • The Butchers, as an act of humor, added an eighth Stricture to the Seven Strictures, which is: "Don't piss off the Butchers." This can be seen scrawled on a wall inside the Rothwild Slaughterhouse.
  • The Butchers that are dressed in their full gear - leathers, mask and buzz-saw - are tough enough to require two shocks from an arc mine.
  • Butchers can be heard making fun of the "Whiskey and Cigars" line often recited by City Watch Officers.
