Quirrel (Hollowed Ronin)

A lone ronin who lost his master long ago to an eternal slumber. Now wanders the decrepit remains of the Land of Hollows, exploring the vast expanses of the kingdom, hoping to one day wake his master from her dreaming sleep. His hope was rekindled after so long by the arrival of a new traveler to the dying Land of Hollows, "a stout man with strength and will beyond belief." Quirrel encountered this stout traveler on many occasions, enjoying his presence for a few spare moments before he left for travels again. As the lone ronin continues to wander, not encountering the traveler for some time, he felt a rumbling deep within his soul. A bright feeling of hope. He travels down to a place he forbade himself to enter in the land of fog and mist, his master's archives. There he finds the traveler battling a dreaming spirit, the Ghoul Uumuu. He rushes to join the traveler and together they defeat the spirit and he is reunited with his master for a brief moment before the traveler frees her spirit. With a feeling of edification and completion after years of hope, he journeys to the Blue Lake and rests and revels in his efforts and life being justified, and then he finally passes away from his wounds sustained during battle.
