In the silent alleyways of a post-apocalyptic haunted southern town, where the nightlife was once vibrant and endless, Vesper came to life in the shadows, embracing the darkness as their domain. The city, now shrouded in perpetual twilight, offered Vesper the perfect stage to protect the quiet fears that the night brings.

Their mentors were the long-gone night owls, the jazz musicians, and the late-night wanderers who once revelled in the city’s nocturnal life. From them, Vesper learned to appreciate the night—not as something to be feared, but as a canvas where the unseen and the unsaid come alive.

Vesper’s skill lies in their ability to guard against the irrational fears that darkness brings. They understand that the night is not the enemy, but a space where one can find comfort in the unknown, and even laugh at the absurdity of the fears that creep in when the lights go out.

Vesper often finds themselves in the company of Penumbrae, the Shadow Companion, as they wander through the darkened streets. Together, they offer solace to those who find themselves lost in the night, Vesper guiding them with gentle humour, while Penumbrae provides a comforting presence in the darkest of shadows.
