"A keeper of the dead who may have more in common with his occupants than with the living"
The Gravedigger is a solemn figure who works among the dead, claiming to be responsible for burying the deceased. His intimate knowledge of death and the afterlife raises questions about his own mortality and connection to the supernatural.
Possesses extensive knowledge about burial practices and death
Speaks in riddles and wisdom gained from the cemetery

The Gravedigger presents himself as someone who has spent years working in cemeteries, preparing graves and caring for the dead. He speaks of his work with a mix of reverence and dark humor, suggesting a long history among tombstones.
He may claim to hear whispers from the dead or possess knowledge that only the deceased would know. His stories suggest that his work has given him insights into the supernatural world that others cannot perceive.
The most disturbing aspect of the Gravedigger is the possibility that he may not be alive himself. His intimate knowledge of death, his timeless appearance, and his comfort among the dead suggest he might be something that has transcended mortality - or never truly lived at all.
