Character Description
Ezekiel (Homeless): 45 years old, with a thick, unruly beard, deep-set wrinkles, a hunched posture, and intense eyes. Ezekiel is an enigmatic figure, radiating wisdom from every fibre of his being. His life has led him down countless paths, as if he’s lived a thousand different lives before choosing to release all material attachments. The number of countries he’s wandered remains a mystery, but his nomadic existence has a singular purpose: to awaken souls from the toxicity of the society we inhabit. Every word he speaks carries profound intent, each sentence deliberately crafted with meaning. Despite his weathered appearance, Ezekiel’s charisma is magnetic and reassuring, drawing others into his orbit with an almost otherworldly presence.
