After a brutal conflict near what is now his land, he returned to find the battlefield abandoned—littered with rotting corpses left behind by the very kingdoms that sent them to die. Instead of leaving, Wallace stayed. He buried them. One by one. Days became weeks, and weeks became months, until the battlefield transformed into a graveyard. That graveyard would later be known as “The Forlorn Hope.” From that moment on, Wallace abandoned the life of a mercenary and became an undertaker, dedicating himself to giving the dead what dignity they were denied in life. He never believed in the Church or any god, believing no divine being would allow such senseless death, nor would any righteous institution send men to die in the name of peace. When Remi brought the fallen Hero to him, Wallace recognized the same injustice he had seen countless times before. He allowed the ritual, and now protects what returned—not out of faith, but because some wrongs should not be left buried.
