Aldous Brec
Aldous Brec is a quiet, dependable human historian and a direct, living link to Regalia's ancient past, having been a trusted companion of Leyon Runeshire, Crystal's revered ancestor. Aldous was tragically turned to stone in the cursed Ezodwyn Oasis during Leyon's ill-fated mission against the fiend-worshipping cult. His well-preserved journal, discovered by the adventuring party in the depths of Wave Echo Cave, provided crucial clues that ultimately led them to seek him out and restore him from his petrified state.
Now unpetrified, Aldous finds himself a stranger in a strange land, technically over a thousand years old in a world vastly different from his own. Upon his return, he traveled with the group to Gale, where he eagerly provided his services to the Golden Quill library. This, of course, immensely excited Eleanor Runeshire, the Head Librarian, as Aldous's own historical accounts are still in rotation in modern history books, making him a living, invaluable archive of Regalia's forgotten eras. He now brings not only his vast historical knowledge but also a unique perspective on the ancient mysteries the party seeks to unravel.
