Ignatius Caldera was born under the Bleeding Star itself, and his shadow is said to still point toward it. He speaks with the newly dead on Temple Rise and carries a blank book that only fills with writing soaked in fresh blood.

Known Powers

Sense which nearby dead still hold a message worth carrying, once per body — it leaves you shaken for the rest of the night.
