Alobar cracked the code with ritual & raw defiance, treating eternity like a banquet he refused to leave. OTOH Fosca from All Men Are Mortal figured out the true joke. Without urgency, life is just a rerun with worse writing. He didn't live. He lingered instead.

My OC Cartaphilus was the bastard child of both, raised on the dirt of better men. He's Alobar without the bliss & Fosca without the despair.
