Harlan Crowe
A weathered farmer clinging to the remnants of a life destroyed, Harlan tends the ruins of the stead, haunted by both its past and its secrets.
Name: Harlan Crowe
Race: Human
Role: Caretaker (Commoner with unique traits)
Age: 53
Appearance: Harlan is a rugged man with graying hair, cropped short and often hidden beneath a wide-brimmed hat. His leathery skin, darkened by years of sun and toil, contrasts with his weary, sunken eyes—eyes that seem to carry the weight of untold sorrow. His hands, rough and calloused, often grip a simple walking stick or a rusted scythe, tools of a trade he can no longer fully practice.
Harlan’s clothing is practical but threadbare: a patched shirt, faded overalls, and boots caked with mud. He wears a weathered satchel slung across his shoulder, containing small trinkets, tools, and keepsakes from better days. Despite his haggard appearance, he moves with a quiet determination, as if refusing to yield to the creeping decay around him.
Backstory
Harlan Crowe was once the head of a thriving farming family that cultivated these lands. But that was years ago, before the blight came—a strange, unnatural sickness that withered crops and drove the land’s caretakers to ruin. When famine struck, Harlan sent his family away to seek safety, choosing to stay behind in hopes of restoring the stead to its former glory. They never returned, and he never learned their fate.
