"I'm sure you did everything you could."
"You don't understand! How could you? I'm just a stonemason! I never wanted to be a captain. Their deaths...are because of me."
"Don't torture yourself. The undead killed your men, not you. The only thing you can do is to keep fighting...to honor them."
"You're right. They died to save Ashwold from this accursed mess. And there are still others who need help out there. My friends wouldn't want me to give up like this. No. I'll make them proud."

Biography[]
In 1270, due to the undead in Ashwold Cemetery, Adrian was conscripted into the Ashwold Guard and made a captain, commanding his friends Arvis, Emile, and Sean. He survived, but they didn't, and was caught up in survivor's guilt when he was found by the Shard-seeker. With their encouragement, he resolved to keep fighting to honor their memories.[1]
Adrian remained in the Ashwold Guard, but his promotion to captain affected his physical and/or mental health. Later, the Guard received reports of someone shady running around the cemetery's graves at night. This drove the undead into a frenzy, attacking anyone on sight. Adrian asked an adventurer to investigate. The adventurer followed such, and realized that Brandt was responsible. The adventurer ordered Brandt to tell Adrian what he'd done.[2]
