Britanus

Britanus lived a lovely life in the small town he called home. He shared this wonderful place with his wife of many years. Then one day, it seemed that everything had fallen apart. His whole life came crashing down when his wife shared the news that she was leaving him. She no longer loved him and she was starting a new life. Britanus resorted to drinking to curb his depression but it made it worse. One night he stood over the stone bridge and peered into the water. He saw his own reflection and focused upon it. The reflection seemed to come closer and closer. Before long he realized he was in the water. He cursed himself for not knowing how to swim and putting off this essential skill. Soon everything went black. It wasn't long before he was fished out of the water by two strange gentlemen. They called themselves Strathmore and Vel.

Gloom
Throughout his travels in She'Ol, Britanus was nigh indestructible. He extremely resilient to harm here and strong as well. It didn't become apparent to him until the final confrontation that he was linked to the Death Stone. This link unbeknownst to the other party members at the time cause strife between him, Strathmore and Robert. It was the stone which granted him his extreme power as he was the last guardian. The one to prevent Lady Death's escape from She'Ol. Even with his valiant effort, he was unable to stop them. Ultimately, Lady Death was released. When he was defeated, Britanus awoke once again on that same bridge that he fell from. Drawing upon his past experience in She'Ol, he decided it was time to leave the past in the past. He left his house to the small children, packed the essentials and left.
