My people rarely allow our debts to be forgiven because the injured party doesn't believe themselves harmed. You have a favor, if you wish to make use of it.
A situation you came into Trench with?
It will not offend me if you propose that to the group. [Which is really the only reason someone would bring it up to him, certainly; vaguely soliciting to him to offer a common use-name was fruitless.]
I'll remember that, Sir. Even if I don't know how to use it yet.
As for the situation... well. I think it's the reason why I was one of your people with that particular kind of magic even though I was still not considered an adult. I'm in a position where I can recall multiple lifetimes of memories as if they're my own... because my soul has become part of an entity that is forced to jump from body to body until an impossible task is completed.
He's been doing this for centuries, and is very tired.
But, thank you. With your permission, I'll make a post on this chat asking what everyone thinks soon enough. I know your reasons and I won't force you, but the rest of us need to come to an agreement so we can find you if something happens in the future.
He started as a warrior who died too young, and the girl who loved him went mad with grief. She tricked the gods to bring her lover back-- but, after getting angry over her upsetting the balance they had made, cursed her with immortality until she learned the value of death.
What they did was set the stage for her to unite humanity against them and have humanity be destroyed because of her hubris.
They checked out after that, but they asked one favor of her lover: to come back into the world, joining body and soul with others along the way, and walk the world until she's defeated.
But. She's had become an immortal, powerful, and very angry witch over the centuries. He has no way to stop her. So he's been living how he can, dying, becoming more emotionally broken, and being forced to switch into a body and lifetime he doesn't get to choose every time he dies-- and dragging others along with him along the way.
I'm his current host-- but my predecessor has his own body here, too. I wanna respect his privacy... But we share a soul

That does not sound at all like one of his people to him--certainly not juxtaposed with that particular kind of magic.
There is another referent that leaps immediately to mind instead.]
Who is he, and how did he come to be this way?
I'm interested in learning what comes of it.

I'm sure you'll know him when you meet him.
