Jeff

Occupation: Hermit
Origin: Valley near Hearthgate
Current Status: Restored from void titan corruption, whereabouts unknown

Background

The Old Hermit: Jeff lived "down the road" from Hearthgate as a local recluse. Known to townsfolk as "the old man that lives down the road," suggesting he maintained minimal contact with the community while being a recognized presence in the valley.

Solitary Life: Lived alone in a dwelling in the lower valley area, preferring isolation from Hearthgate's trade-town bustle.

Void Titan Absorption

First Identified Victim: When Hearthgate witnesses described the Void Titan's approach, Jeff was among the first specifically identified among the affected: "I saw Jeff there... the old man that lives down the road? Yeah, he was with them."

Restoration (Session 4)

Mass Liberation: When Nyx's spell freed Shod and broke the void titan's corruption, all affected individuals were released, including Jeff.

Immediate Aftermath: Following restoration, affected people reacted variously, some fled in panic, some passed out, some remained confused. Jeff's specific reaction is unknown.

Current Whereabouts: Dispersal of affected individuals means Jeff may have:

• Fled up or down the valley in panic
• Stayed for aid and treatment
• Returned to his home "down the road"
• Status currently unknown

Current Status

Location Unknown: Jeff disappeared among the dispersal of affected individuals after restoration. May have returned home, fled, or sought treatment.

Symbol of Community: Jeff represents the "even the hermit" aspect of Hearthgate's salvationthe Fellowship saved everyone, not just active community members, showing their inclusive approach to rescue.
