Now this might not be the best suggestion, but here we go:
So the idea of this guy is to give you some items to help you with the end of game events, and bosses. Basicially, after defeating the cultist, you would hear see a message for the first time he is killed that says:
"You hear screams of terror echoing from the dungeon"
You would be able to find him like the mechanic or tinkerer bound and gagged. Right clicking him will turn him into the NPC.
He would also be unique compared to the other NPCs, as he would change what he wears during night and day. (Solar: Day :: Lunar: Night)
What would he sell though?
Well first off, instead of the clothier selling these, the escaped cultist would sell the cultist vanity items.
Lunar during night, and Solar during the day.
The prices would not change, and nor would the sprites.
Now what else would he sell? Because otherwise he would be a useless NPC.
Well its simple. He would sell items that would basically give the player the power of the lunatic cultist.
Most of these would be tome weapons, others would be different.
The weapons would include:
•Fire Burst:
Pretty much an upgraded Razorblade Typhoon
74 Magic damage
Very Fast Speed
Weak Knockback
Uses 15 mana
Tooltip: Shoots three fast moving fireballs to home in on your enemies.
Price 40
(Note: the projectiles of this will move slightly slower than the Razorblade typhoon, just to make it not so OP)
Now onto an accessory:
•Phantom Replicator
Equipable
Tooltip: Summons transparent clones that when killed make attackers take full damage.
Price: 1
There would be two duplicates that would stand beside you like the titanium armor set bonus.
Each one takes about 2 seconds to recharge, and one of them would get killed each time you are hit.
You would still take damage, its just that the clones would be like a temporary thorns buff.
The buff would be similar to the solar shield from the Solar Armor set bonus. It would be sold on new moons.
(I know the sprite kinda sucks, but it works out.)
Back to weapons:
•Thunder Orb
70 Magic damage
Fast Speed
Average Knockback
Uses 20 mana
Tooltip: Summons a lighting orb to attack enemies.
Price: 50
This would be an upgraded Magnet Sphere.
The last weapon for now. I might add one for expert, but I can't think of a name for it.
•Icy Blast:
90 magic damage
Slow Speed
Strong Knockback
Tooltip: Summons an Icy Blast to destroy your enemies.
Uses 25 mana
Price 67
This would use the cultist's Icy Blast spell and give it to terrarians.
Then for a pet summoning item:
•Phantasmic Egg:
Equipable
Tooltip: Summons a baby Phantasm Dragon
Price: 1
(Platinum)
Because who wouldn't wan't one? The buff would look like the stardust dragon, only ghostly white. This would only be sold on full moons.
And that would be it for the items he sells.
Now for his attack:
The cultist would have a similar attack to the wizard, only it would be more powerful and homing.
Then we've got the NPC dialogue:
Casual dialogue:
When wearing Ancient Cultist mask:
If Goblin Tinkerer is alive:
If Dryad is alive:
If Merchant is alive:
That's it for his dialogue, but the other NPC's would have dialogue hinting at him as well.
When not present:
I don't know what his NPC names would be, but I think they would be names of greek philosophers, or something ancient sounding.
Leave feedback and suggestions below to see how we could make this better.

Then we've got the NPC dialogue:
Casual dialogue:
- After you freed me, I managed to scavenge Master’s old spell tomes. Wanna see?
- I would compliment your looks... if I could see you.
- You want to see me without these robes? Trust me, you don’t.
- Oh these? I change outfits because of traditional reasons.
- Why was I down there? I was the only one who was wondering why we were chanting for so long.
- Thanks. I was getting creeped out by those skeletal abominations.
- So like, are you going to let me live somewhere? No?
- I'm getting tired of standing so much, can you at least get me a chair?
- Slime Rain, you say? That isn’t in the prophecies.
When wearing Ancient Cultist mask:
- MASTER?! Oh, it’s just you. Phew! I get scared when I see that mask.
If Goblin Tinkerer is alive:
- [Name of Goblin Tinkerer] keeps throwing spiky balls at me. Is everyone in this town this hostile?
- [Name of Pirate] tells me tales of you genociding the mass horde of pirates. You are brutal, man.
If Dryad is alive:
- You know, [Name of Dryad] seems passive towards me. Thank goodness.
If Merchant is alive:
- [Name of Merchant] attempted to steal my money again. I managed to scare him off.
- Werewolves? Aren’t those myths and legends?
That's it for his dialogue, but the other NPC's would have dialogue hinting at him as well.
When not present:
- Dryad: I hear the cultists bound one of their allies for questioning authority. Don't ask me how I know.
- Clothier: I hear cultists know some secrets to... embroidery...
- Wizard: I hear cultists aren't so bad once you get to know them!
- Wizard: Whenever me and [Name of Cultist] try to experiment with magic, we almost always end up blowing something up.
- Travelling Merchant: D'you think that that hooded fellow over there would be interested in buying some of my goods? I could get him a new hat!
- Hair Stylist: I tried to give [Name of Cultist] a haircut, but he refused to even show his face.
I don't know what his NPC names would be, but I think they would be names of greek philosophers, or something ancient sounding.
