Francis Sutherland

Archetype: Human Corporate Executive

Small, old and frail, Francis is confined to a wheel chair and has nearly lost his voice. He constantly smokes a pipe and only gets a few hours of sleep a week.

Francis was the head of a major corporation whose main item of business revolved around the burning of rain forests before the Awakening. He still possesses millions but is trapped in his mansion which a free toxic spirit has made its domain. It does not allow the man to leave and he is forced to eat whatever he can grow in his greenhouse to survive. The outside of the mansion looks quite beautiful, the lawn still cut by contractors. Inside it is a murky hell, reeking of decay and toxins. In the middle is a beautiful greenhouse which the spirit has helped make flourish.

Mead

Archetype: Free Toxic Spirit

Mead takes on the form of a toxic shadow which occasionally materializes into something half plant, half human looking and charred. He feels it is his duty to make this destroyer of the land's life a living hell. He will keep Francis alive as long as possible just so he can kill him more slowly.
