Kerric Dustwhisper
A peculiar gravekeeper who spends his days tending the cemetery and talking to the departed, Kerric knows every secret buried beneath the earth—but sharing them comes at a price.
Name: Kerric Dustwhisper
Race: Gnome
Role: Gravekeeper
Age: 152
Appearance: Kerric is a short and wiry gnome with ashen-gray skin and a shock of wispy white hair that sticks out in every direction. His large, sunken eyes are an unusual pale blue, giving him an eerie, otherworldly gaze. He wears a patchwork coat covered in stains from dirt and moss, with an oversized scarf draped around his neck.
His hands are always caked with earth, and he carries a weathered spade that he uses for both digging graves and warding off intruders. A small bone charm dangles from his belt, a memento from his first burial as a young apprentice gravekeeper.
Backstory
Born into a family of gravekeepers, Kerric was raised to respect the dead and the sanctity of burial grounds. Over the years, he developed an unusual affinity for the cemeteries he tended, claiming that he could hear faint whispers from the graves. Though many dismissed this as an eccentric quirk, Kerric’s uncanny ability to uncover secrets about the deceased quickly earned him a reputation as someone not to be trifled with.
