Castaway
Jeff Low, known as Castaway, is the Black Ward’s least intimidating cleric: a farm boy who followed a stranger’s whispers into the Void because they sounded like belonging. More earnest than fanatical, Jeff prays too long, smiles when frightened, and mistakes ordinary coins or barn stains for divine omens. His communion brings muddled dreams and fleeting visions, usually misunderstood but sometimes strangely useful. Captured by the Castro, he survived by being too harmless to fear and too sincere to discard. Now he drifts between cult and captors, unsure whether he was chosen, forgotten, or simply left standing where the universe last dropped him.
