Captured by the Ashen Covenant while rebuilding a transport rig, he faced execution without fear, more saddened by wasted potential than death itself. During Grimhaul’s accidental incursion into the cult compound, he improvised a crude rail launcher under fire, clearing their escape. Instead of leaving afterward, he observed the caravan’s unstable transport rig and quietly improved it beyond its former limits. He stayed not out of gratitude, but because the wind carried him toward something worth refining.
