Maybe. Perhaps Deathrise is simply a bloodbourn parasite that, after infecting a host with the proper powers, became sentient. perhaps with each power gained/host infected, it becomes more intelligent, like the Flood from Halo. Plus, this entity mentions the ‘initiation’ and that had something to do with why she was infected by it. Perhaps she and the other Ravens are being made into something far more terrible than we realize? Plus that name gives me zombie vibes, which increases the creep level ten fold.
