"One might think I was never much for writin', but keeping track o' the dead was part o' my profession. Suppose it still is.
This dead fella. Well, he fancies keepin' track o' the living n' making them jus as dead as he. Started out as a scribe then made fancy, illuminated tomes. Some rouges broke in to steal his work n' the vain fool tried stoppin' them. They forced him to swallow ink till he died. Weren't a pretty death neither.
He makes pretty letters that slays folks tho. I'll give em that. Makes ink outta their agony too. His wells never run dry. Let's see if your swords are mightier than his pen, eh?"
