Will The Fanatic encounter stay in the same place?

If the Fanatic is encountered in a dungeon and you retreat from combat, will the Fanatic be encountered if you return to that same tile?

The specific use case here is:

Start dungeon
Encounter Fanatic
Retreat.

At this point, after the retreat:

The game threw me back to the room before the corridor with the Fanatic
The tile the Fanatic was encountered on still has the red X icon.

So, will the Fanatic spawn if that tile is stepped on again?

From the wiki

If you decide to run away from the Fanatic, he will appear in the next encounter, fulfilling his promise to hunt "the Cursed" down.

So, you will meet him again immediately after retreating, even if you were to go to a different room in the dungeon with a monster encounter, you would meet the fanatic there again. If you feel, your party isn't up to handling the Fanatic, you should retreat from the entire dungeon.

Just like the Shambler and the Collector, the Fanatic doesn't have a fixed location in which you can encounter him. Instead, he will hunt parties that have heroes infected with Crimson Curse in them. The chances to encounter the Fanatic increases with the number of infected heroes in the current party.

How do I encounter the fanatic darkest dungeon?

The Fanatic joins the ranks of the Shambler and the Collector as one of the team-endingly powerful wandering bosses. Naturally, his appearance is tied into the Crimson Court's other gimmicks. The Fanatic will only appear if you ENTER the dungeon with at least two heroes afflicted with the Crimson Curse.
