Thara Celehar is a figure of quiet melancholy and profound dedication. As a Witness for the Dead, he possesses the ability to commune with the deceased, a gift that is practically useful for solving crimes but socially alienating. He is often feared or misunderstood by the living, who see him as an ill omen.
Despite the darkness of his vocation and the trauma of his past, Celehar remains deeply compassionate. He treats the dead with a dignity they were often denied in life. His character arc is one of healing and finding purpose in a community that, however reluctantly, comes to rely on him.
