Once, there was a man named Victor Green. He was a lonely man, isolated and withdrawn, and he preferred it this way. His one passion in life was the study of the occult, spending countless hours on research, mastering several languages just to find out more, eventually even betting his very life in a bid for yet more knowledge and with it, power. Unfortunately, he died, his soul parted from his body and cast down to the depths of the afterlife, until eventually, he found a way back. Reborn in a new body, Victors past life appears only in fragments, odd bits of knowledge that his new self, Neil, possesses without ever learning, promises unfulfilled that he simply must complete. But every day, as he rises from his slumber, Neil feels this voice in the back of his mind, whispering, saying, "I Remember".

Edgar is slowly becoming a Ghoul; his hands have thickened & become tipped with hooked talons suitable for digging up graves & tearing flesh. He has grown a short muzzle choked with a combination of his original teeth & savage fangs. His feet have begun to fuse into hoof-like stumps. Like a rat, if he can get his head through a hole, he can get his entire body through.
After consuming a mythical dragon over the period of a month, Edgar's flesh is remarkably resistant to flames.
Update - Edgar has fully transformed into a Ghoul at this time, unable to even remotely pass for human or wear most human clothes, having a short muzzle, elongated arms tipped with hooked talons, & digitigrade legs ending in hardened hoofs - further, his exposure to the creature known as "The Provider" has mutated him - increasing Regenerative abilities & durability - this mutation has come with an increased susceptibility to Acid, which will inflict horrific wounds on his mutated flesh.
