The Pilgrim
Appearance
Fully robed in dirty, black cloth. Very bent over from the large pack that he carries, bound beneath a hard shell and chained for protection. He uses a gnarled wooden stick to assist with walking. What little flesh is exposed is gray, sickly, and peeling. Limbs and digits are bone thin.
His face in invisible, the hood opening only into fathomless darkness. His neck moves in a way that suggests more joints than a human should have.

Skills and Abilities
The Pilgrim holds no skills of his own. All he is, he owes to his Master, his God, or whatever else one may choose to call it. He has been seen to employ a strange form of pyromancy and lava magic when the time calls for it. These skills are far more defensive than offensive, with most fire-based attacks being all but completely absorbed.
He shuns the cold, and guards his pack zealously against chill.
He whispers to his pack, and though no answers are apparent, he seems to hear them.
Boons:
Should a particularly devout follower ever intertwine their path with The Pilgrim's, he has been given permission to assign boons from his Master. Depending on the individual's skill, their constitution, and their resolve, they may be granted small abilities with fire or earth. Boons will disappear over time, if the follower ventures too far from the The Pilgrim's pack, or if their devotion falters. Blessed individuals may begin to hear whispers and find their thoughts directed by invisible suggestions. The Pilgrim advises them to submit themselves to such things.
