The Sorceress was the main antagonist of Season 2 of Escape the Night. She invited the YouTubers to her Victorian Mansion whilst she possessed Joey Graceffa. Her ultimate goal was to obtain the Crown of Oblivion after it had been broken by the Society Against Evil members Roanoke and Katsumi. She manipulated the guests into collecting the Gems for her and took the crown from them once they had unlocked it. However, she lost her powers once the remaining guests freed Riley from the Tree House. She murdered Joey and was subsequently killed by Riley.
Sometime after, her soul was brought to the Museum of the Dead by The Collector and later freed by the now-resurrected Joey after his infiltration of the museum with Bretman Rock. She allied herself with the YouTubers whilst she secretly planned to betray them and take control of the museum for herself. The Sorceress eventually fought The Collector during her attempted takeover, but was not strong enough to defeat her and was killed. She is played by Eva Augustina Sinotte.
