Helm of a Carrion Knight. Offers some protection, if you can tolerate the stench and stickiness.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance
Once, all who exhibited any sign of the Rhogar corruption were purged with brutal efficiency in a desperate attempt to control its spread, but in their spiralling madness the Hallowed Sentinels have come to regard their rotting flesh and tainted blood merely as a test of devotion.

How it compares
No standout stat — 43rd of 96 head pieces for physical defence, and similarly mid-table elsewhere. Worth wearing for its set or its look rather than its numbers.
