Crow

I have no idea who I was. Whatever memory it is that you long for has vacated my head completely.

– Crow of Khaede, to Lirius Thanred

Crow of Khaede is one of the three protagonists of Forlorn Saga and the central figure of its first installment. He is a sentient Undead—a man who has returned from death, whole in both body and spirit, yet retaining no memory of his former life. At the beginning of the story, Crow has settled in the small village of Khaede after years spent wandering the Perinian lands bordering the Red Forest. There, living in poverty and subject to extortion by the local innkeeper Tedrick, he attempts to make a home for himself. His undeath is a source of constant anxiety: in several previous settlements, the discovery of his nature led locals armed with pitchforks and torches to drive him away.
