Wessex

*Warning: This and other characters may be used in a different project* “Open your mind, not your hand.”-Wessex "The Fighter"

Wessex is a survivor and main character in Hymns from the Hypogean. Right hand to Wynn, this fencer is known for his strict but smart advice. Many question as to why he isn’t the leader of the Ballroom Whalers but anytime he is immediately challenges the person to a duel; often the person who asked ends up with broken limbs and a slash in the shape of a whale with a top hat.

Life before arriving in the Constant
Wessex is a member of the Ballroom Whalers and just like many of their other members, their entire personal history is mostly unknown. He is a member of the same company that his cohorts work for and has mentioned several times that he had a rather abusive father. While on the other hand, he also talks about his mother as if she was a sweet angel; even though he also recounts her hunting animals for sport at any chance she had.

Life after arriving in the Constant
How Wessex and his group arrived into the Hypogean is unknown.

He and his other Ballroom Whalers always refer to the Hypogean as a temporary visit or as a small attraction.

It is known that he played a key part in driving back the "Entrenching plague" along with his cohorts. Unlike most others in his group, he refuses to complete a job without some sort of reward. Further more, several inhabitants of the Hypogean have been left with lacerations and cuts just by either making him angry or by cheating him out of a deal.
