Origin

The breaking wheel has, in large parts, roots in the 2015 video game Bloodborne, as well as Dark Souls I. Its name and appearance have been greatly inspired by the [Logarius' Wheel]. Its item description states: "Weapon wielded by martyr Logarius' band of executioners. Used to slaughter the Vilebloods in Cainhurst. Bathed in pools of their blood, and forever steeped in their ire. Transform to release the power of the wheel and manifest their lingering rage in a show of utter brilliance." It is a weapon utilized by Alfred, Hunter of Vilebloods and, if his questline is taken to completion, is used by him to mutilate Annalise, Queen of Castle Cainhurst.

Encyclopedia

Weapon wielded by those who believe themselves holy
executioners, and forever steeped in the ire of its
victims.

When the wheel is spun, the lingering rage of the
damned wreks havoc on both the wielder and their
foes.
