The Fisherman

An ordinary man enjoying a moment of solitude by the riverbank before the sphere’s sudden intrusion. His only role in the narrative is to suffer the sphere’s mind theft, becoming another casualty in Skagra’s campaign of terror. His death is not just physical but existential—the sphere claims his identity before casting him aside, demonstrating the artifact’s power to erase without remorse. There is no depth to his character beyond this immediate tragedy, which underscores the sphere’s indiscriminate violence.
