Wimber's Surplice is based on the bat, a creature long held in association with death, evil, darkness and the night. In Mayan mythology, bats were considered gods of death and decay, and were linked with the Mayan Underworld, Xibalba. Those coming to the realm were forced to undergo a series of tests, including passing through and surviving six great houses, often filled with treacherous conditions or deadly animals; the fourth of these houses was the House of Bats, filled with the creatures, which would attack intruders. However, in Native American stories, Bat could serve as simply a trickster animal, like Coyote, and in other cultures bats were even counted as good or auspicious animals.

More famously, bats, especially the vampire bat, are often rendered as the signature animal of the vampire. The famous Count Dracula, created by Bram Stoker, both can turn into and control bats to do his bidding, in addition to other creatures. 

Special Techniques

Nightmare Sonar (ナイトメアソナー Naitomea Sonā?): Wimber calls forth massive amounts of bats, which unleash ultrasonic waves that brings the opponent into a deep slumber. It appears that these waves affect only the victims' hearing, as Aldebaran is able to repel their effect by puncturing his eardrums.
