An ugly, uncouth mountain of a man, Cletus is nevertheless possessed of an equally massive intellect. Raised in abject poverty, he took over the family business—digging graves for a few coppers a week—from his father at a young age, and his restless mind quickly became filled with questions about the nature of death and the soul. For the next decade and a half, Cletus pondered questions of the human soul by day as he worked his menial job, and in the evenings slowly taught himself to read, then write, and finally to understand the strange whispers emanating from the graves at night.

Age: 30 | Height: 6’3” | Weight: 225 lbs. | Eyes: gray | Hair: black | Skin: dirty

Given that his appearance is that of a hulking, brainless yokel, Cletus plays the role to a tee, deflecting awkward questions with an “aw, shucks,” or a few curse words, depending on the company, and performs admirably enough at his day job to deflect unwanted scrutiny. Behind the obfuscating stupidity, however, Cletus is shrewd, calculating, and patient, always looking for his next opportunity in pursuit of whatever forbidden knowledge can be attained with his limited means.
