Blood Minister is a non-player character in Bloodborne.
A mysterious character who administers Yharnam Blood to the player shortly before the Nightmare.
Blood Minister Information
- This enigmatic person gives you a contract to sign (which essentially sends you to character creation).
- Once the contract has been officialized, he begins a blood transfusion process using Yharnam blood.
- The process begins a strange, nightmare-like scenario involving a Wolf Beast and the first sighting of the Messengers.
- Afterwards, the player character (now officially a Hunter) gets off the operating table, and the night of the hunt is about to begin...
Location
- This character is located in Iosefka's Clinic though he disappears after the opening cinematic.
- Can be found in hunter's nightmare (DLC), dead hunter that explodes when you come near him
Dialogue
Upon Starting the Game:
Oh, yes... Paleblood... Well, you've come to the right place. Yharnam is the home of blood ministration. You need only unravel its mystery. But, where's an outsider like yourself to begin? Easy, with a bit of Yharnam blood of your own... But first, you'll need a contract...
Character Creation:
Good. All signed and sealed. Now let's begin the transfusion. Oh, don't you worry. Whatever happens... You may think it all a mere bad dream...
Lore
Trivia
- Some speculate that his corpse is found near the exit of Iosefka's Clinic, being eaten by a Wolf Beast.
- Many have also disputed this theory, as the corpse appears to look like that of a normal Yharnam citizen rather than a Blood Minister.
- Also, the corpse is missing the signature hat worn by the Blood Minister.
- Blood Minister corpse can be found in hunter's nightmare (DLC). You can locate him in first floor of the house, before you set foot in river of blood. (Dead hunter in wheelchair that explodes when you come near him) Everything checks out, the wheelchair, sleeves, his face and his hat.
- As Gehrman suggested, there are multiple Blood Ministers throughout Yharnam.
- Who they serve, if there are any still alive, is unknown at this point.
- Gehrman also mentions that most Blood Ministers nowadays don't recall the Hunters anymore.
- If the above is true, that would make this particular Blood Minister even more special since he the reason you become a Hunter in the first place.
- This character is more or less identical to some wheelchair enemies encountered throughout Yharnam, although none of them wears the signature hat.
- One of the other distinguishing features is that the Blood Minister appears to have no eyes.
- This is a foreshadowing of future events to come.
- The hat worn by the Blood Minister has a similar appearance to what the Old Hunters wore in the past.
- One of the other distinguishing features is that the Blood Minister appears to have no eyes.

He is not the one in the nightmare, because hunters, except the player, can't escape the nightmare. The only reason I can explain is he was supposed to be iosefka, which makes more sense, but it was cut content

What if that celestial emissary corpse, found on that bed near Iosefka, is actually the Blood Minister, (if you look closely, the corpse has a human hand, and the fact he is never seen again after the beginning cutscene..)

In my point of view, the wolf in the clinic is not him but the same-one which is gets burned during the cinematic. However, that wolf has half-life what could be explained by that fire what we can see in the cinematic. If you are not sending citizens to Iosefka's clicic as a safe place then you can find only 2 kin there (a living but peaceful-one and a dead-one) when enter through back-door: I guess the Minister could be the dead-one which also explains how he could appears in Hunter's Nightmare where only blood-drunken dead hunters and creatures go as some sort of hell in christian religion. So, he should be that dead kin on operating table at the very end of clinic. The living and peaceful kin could be the real Iosefka in my oppinion. After all, only false, impostor Iosefka wants new patients during the hunt and the real-one do not want to open any door even for player and offer safe place.

The minister was at some point an old Hunter indicated by the fact that when he dies he is later found in the hunters nightmare, also I believe the blood wolf is an amage to beasthood, and if it were not to ‘catch fire’ the player would have succumbed to beasthood before the game began

Perhaps this guy is actually...you. A self-contained paradox. Cycles, after all, are vital to Soulsborne.

"Lotta Love"
It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far.
So if you look in my direction
And we don't see eye to eye,
My heart needs protection
And so do I.
It's gonna take a lotta love
To get us thru the night.
It's gonna take a lotta love
To make things work out right.
So if you are out there waitin'
I hope you show up soon,
'Cause my heart needs relatin'
Not solitude.
Gotta lotta love
Gotta lotta love.
It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far.
It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far.

I believe the minister was actually a hunter pretending to be a minister to recruit hence him being in the hunters nightmare

What if this "Minister" is actually one of the Old Hunters? What if he knew that Mother Kos would send each Hunter into The Hunter's Nightmare, so he created one last Hunter before their departure? It's never stated how much time passes between your ministration and awakening, this would explain his disappearance and the lack of Hunters, barring the Chalices and Nightmares, from the rest of the game.

He seems to be a regular wheelchair Yharnamite, perhaps working at the clinic or getting treatment. I think he is either the first beast the hunter encounters or the unnamed dead celestial in the furthest room. It also appears that the wheel chair in the hall is his.
As for him being in the hunter's nightmare, as speculated by the fact that the dead wheelchair mob that explodes has what seems to be his hat, as I understand it, the nightmare is a warped version of the real world though it doesn't explain why he'd be there, in the distorted nightmare. I do believe it is him in the nightmare as none of the other wheelchair mobs have the hat, and it just seems unlikely they'd put that hat on a random mob.

Some speculate that his corpse is found near the exit of Iosefka's Clinic, being eaten by a Wolf Beast. However, as you could see in gameplay, all . windows were closed even the main door. In my opinion, the Blood Minister looked really sick, he turned into the Wolf Beast at the result of blood transfusion he had taken long ago.

Minister's dead corpse is in hunters nightmare, any thoughts on that?

Is the Minister not the actual beast in the clinic? Most of the denizens occlude their eye to cover their collapsed pupil which indicates beasthood, and the Minister has similar bandages. Just made me wonder considering what happened to Gascoigne

I found an enemy just like him in The Unseen Village, so now I feel like this character isn't of any importance.

1. Same voice actor as the Suspicious Beggar2. Bandages on eyes just like the Beggar3. Most ministers don't remember Hunters, but he does4. Beggar feigns appreciation for Hunters5. A quick shave and change of clothes and he'd look just like the BeggarI think this old dude is the Beggar. No, I don't know why he'd bother infusing you with blood to just try to kill you later, but all the same, the rest of the evidence adds up. Thoughts?

I thought this guy was Father Gascoigne? He looks just like him, he has the eye bandages and everything

I say he's either a great one, or the one behind it all. Perhaps he's bloodborne's version of the G Man.

could it be possible that hes the first design of gasco? or when he puts blood into you, that blood is what turns all this into a coma, and through that, narrates a story to keep you from fully succumbing to the coma and allowing you to awaken at its end. [spoils] as for the other ends? it is a dream, lucid at that, you do have some control. so maybe you can choose poorly. maybe?

He helps establish a contract with you to someone. a contract needs a contractee, and a contractor, so who are we contracted to in the beginning of the game. If you read one of the Oedon runes, it says: "Human or no. the oozing blood is a medium of the highest grade, and the essence of the formless Great One, Oedon. Both Oedon, and Oedon's inadvertent worshippers, surreptitiously seek the precious blood." inadvertent means accidental or unintentional, so I believe when we made a contract in the beginning of the game, it was with Oedon.

He's the corpse the first wolf beast is munching on. He must've left the front door open...

Take off the hat, trim his hair, shave his beard, take off his poncho, put him in a fancier wheelchair and bam, you have Gehrman. They do sound somewhat similar as well.

Isn't his hat the Old Hunter Top Hat? Its location is just out of the house with the wheelchair enemy, in the same house in the normal game there's a note:"When The hunt Began, the Healing Church left us, blocking the great bridge to Cathedral Ward, as Old Yharnam burned to the ground that moonlit night.". I think that the wheelchair enemy, the letter and the top hat could all lead to think about the Minister, so the one who wrote the letter was the minister, him being a old hunter, only he could have described what happened to Old yharnam and not the enemies that were there, if they were human before they wouldn't be old enough to have experienced what happened then(assuming old yharnam accident happened loong ago and hunters can live for a loong time). This could help the BM theory which says he could be Caryll, being a old hunter (let's say, as old as Willem), capable of giving you the rune that is the hunter's mark (other hunters can't revive) and having such knowledge (he knows about the paleblood and could have written the note in the clinic:"Handwritten scrawl: Seek paleblood to transcend the hunt."). Welp, it's not like i dived too much into Bb's lore, but when i got the hat, it just gave me this idea.

He is on the room, downstairs where you find the monocular, and where there is a giant gut whith a big ball... he said a dialogue -oh you where able to find me, I hope your enojying the dream... -So, did you realized Paleblood are not what you're looking for? I don't remember the exact dialogue

Think about the guy you talk to at the central yharnam lamp in the building, (spoiler warning) just before you kill rom (not sure when he starts) he is in his house, in a wheelchair because he's turning. I can't remember exactly what he says, but he does mention he can't use his legs. Now I know he is also in alot of pain and very sick, but the beast he turns into is one from old yharnam, their plight is poison, that eventually turns them into said beasts. So naturally you would think it's not that, but then think about father gascoian (however you spell it) he is able to talk semi fine and can even move normally before changing into a beast without so much a way to tell he's about to, until he does. So what if, like dark souls (choosing countless undead until they hollow, or get to the first flame), the blood minister is choosing countless individuals to send into the hunters dream to finally quell the nightmare and end the night. And you as the player just so happen to be the last individual chosen before he finally succumbs to beasthood and turns into a beast? Just a thought, what do you guys think?

I think he is the guy that shows in the brightness setting (and a younger age variant on the left)
What a coincidence, before typing here it said 'Body'. Speaking of bodies, that's not him, the corpse model is completely different, not to mention his wheelchair. He has patches over his eyes too. Speaking of eyes, you people need to get yours checked. The corpse was either there before or it was a Yharnamite that unfortunately wandered straight to his death.

Based on looks I assumed he was Father Gascoigne, at the start. Is that possible?

The chine maiden in unseen village summoned a wheelchair mob that looked just like the blood minister, hat and all, but with red hair like all of the mobs she summons, i took a screenshot

This can't be Gehrman, his hair, beard and hat are totally different though both uses wheel-chair. He actually found dead in clinic, killed by 30% HP werewolf.
Hrmmm....I wish I knew how to set up a spoiler so that I could more neatly set up the dialogue page.
hay guys he is the wolf monster that is in the clinic also he is the corps that the wolf monster is eating he is also the ET that is tied up in the clinic, he is also every single wheelchair enemy in the game at the same time the moon lord and knuckles.
this is the true answer and no I won't give any reason because I am right.-THIS IS A JOKE.
