The Wanderer

The Wanderer is a character from the story series Morytania. He is a resident of Burgh de Rott and is one of the main character for the series.

Character history
The Wanderer informed the village he was born in Meiyerditch, but escaped when he was a young adult. He managed to escape while other people (including his parents) were killed. Fleeing into Mort Myre after a brief brush with a regular Vampyre in the Haunted Woods, he arrived at Burgh de Rott ("The Last Shanty"). His real name is not known, and is called the Wanderer by most ("Welcome to Morytania"). Nothing is known about the Wanderer's past, and he wishes to keep it that way.

After his arrival at Burgh de Rott, he assisted in the attempted murder of James, a villager, with the help of Dirth. They failed as James returned years later. The Wanderer and Dirth wanted to make peace with James regretting their actions only for James to be killed ("Dead Man Walking").

The Wanderer is experienced with Herblore, and grows a number of herbs in his home ("Infection") and has supplies of silver and red spider's eggs ("Murder in the Masses"). He was also given a number of herbs from Dirth's father's collections from Dirth after he assisted in the failed murder of James ("Dead Man Walking"). He knows very much about ancient technology, and can identify certain items immediately ("Operation Necrosis").

Personality
The Wanderer is seen as an anti-hero, and has admitted in times of crisis that his main intent is to save himself ("Infection"). He also had these thoughts when he was younger, putting his life before others which allowed him to escape Meiyerditch. After telling this to Elle, she calls him a coward which hits him hard. When her two cousins are left behind when the Myreque and a group of residents of Burgh de Rott attempt to flee Meiyerditch, Dirth offers to go and rescue them, and action which the Wanderer does as well, stating he does not want to be a coward anymore, but a hero ("The Last Shanty").

He is also very sarcastic, making jokes at irrelevant times ("Murder in the Masses"). He has also been seen as a person of compassion, as he felt this towards the Swamp Spirit when he first encountered him in the swamps ("Swamp Spirit").
