The Man in Black

The Man in Black, also known by other titles such as Pilgrim Under the Stars and The King of Night, is a powerful and ancient spirit.

He is an NPC played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Appearance
The Man in Black has appeared as a humanoid figure dressed completely in black clothing, in a cut similar to a merchant or lord. He is dressed plainly, with tall boots and long breeches, a wide brimmed hat, and a dark cloak.

With three titles, the Man in Black is a powerful spirit. Time unnaturally distorts around his appearances, slowing into nightfall, and returns to normal when he is no longer present. This effect can have strange results on objects within his presence, from speeding up the natural process of decay to breaking magical objects.

The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One
Spotted by Suvi from the bedroom window, The Man in Black appeared at Wren's cottage. She had noticed that time was moving oddly, noting that dusk had already fallen outside. He approached the cottage at the workshop's door, asking Ame if she would let him in. She refused, asking for his name and business, to which he only responded with his three titles and his old relationship with Wren. Ame, unrelenting, instead offers he comes back another day, one year from then. He agrees and disappears, when it is suddenly daytime again.
