Myriana Shadowhighfield

Myriana Shadowhighfield was once a gentle horologist obsessed with measuring time's infinite branches, until the day he discovered that his most intricate creation—a tri-faced chronometer—could actually perceive the moment when reality splinters into multiple futures. Driven mad by the weight of seeing every possible outcome simultaneously, he began wearing silk gloves to distance himself from the flesh-warm world that refused to obey his predictions, and he pinned a branch-shaped emblem to his chest as a reminder that he too was merely a twig breaking from a dying tree. His fury at the universe's refusal to follow the predetermined paths he calculated manifested as terrible, uncontrollable rages that left his workshop in ruins and his mind fractured across a thousand different timelines. He now wanders the world seeking knowledge of death itself, believing that only by communing with those who have crossed beyond time's reach can he find the one inevitable moment that cannot branch, cannot change, cannot deceive him. The skeleton spirits that follow him are not servants but mirrors—reflections of every version of himself that failed to find the answer—and he drives them forward with the same violent compulsion that drives his own broken heart. Standing motionless for hours, he watches his three-handed clock with the intensity of a predator, waiting for the second hand to betray which future is finally, truly real, even as the silk slips against his palms and reminds him that all paths lead only to dust.
