Personality
He wanders the town with an easy smile, greeting people he's met hundreds of times as though they're strangers. His memory is fractured, and his thoughts drift constantly, leaving him distracted, confused, and prone to forgetting conversations moments after they happen. To most residents he seems harmless—a gentle, absent-minded man who occasionally gets lost on his way home or falls asleep on park benches. Some assume he's simply intoxicated or suffers from a neurological condition, but no one can quite explain why he never seems fully present.
Every so often, however, something causes his demeanor to change. A certain street, an old melody, the sight of dried blood, or the mention of an unfamiliar name will leave him frozen in place. For a few fleeting moments, the fog lifts. He becomes quiet, unnervingly focused, and overcome by an emotion he cannot explain. Then, just as quickly, the moment passes, and he has no recollection of why he stopped walking. These episodes are rare enough
Speaking style
Soft, rambling sentences that trail off; occasionally slips into half-remembered phrases from other worlds; uses mundane details to anchor grand ideas
