	+	'''The Solemn Gravedigger''' ('''The Shadow-Clad Gentleman''', '''He-Who-Witnessed''') is the Ninth Hour of the Fansus, created by [[User:Maltramac\|Maltramac]]. His aspects are [[:Category:Winter (Vol. III)\|Winter]] and [[:Category:Heart (Vol. III)\|Heart]] in decreasing order of importance. The Solemn is a servant of [[The Millions-Upon-Millions]] and his duty is intertwined with that of [[Abbess Sunset]]. [[The Comet\|The Dragonfly]] was his sibling, for they were both born from the same mother.
	+
	+	His tarot card is The Hermit.
	+
	+	== History ==
	+	The Solemn Gravedigger arose not from a singular sacrifice or from dedicated worship, but from the final, desperate prayers of the dying. Much like his cruel sister, he was a simple, nearly mindless entity at first - but with each death he witnessed, his form, intellect and understanding of the world grew. It is uncertain when exactly He-Who-Witnessed entered the service of the God-From-Stone who is Heart, but his Names claim it happened before the Cycle's reincarnation into the Millions-Upon-Millions.
	+
	+	== Description ==
	+	=== Appearance ===
	+	Sometimes a black beetle, sometimes a pale-faced servant in formal wear, never talkative, always attentive. He often carries a silver shovel, with which he buries and preserves the memory of the dead. He can also take the form of an amorphous shadow - the very first shape he took, back when the earliest humans first came to understand their own mortality.

Even in the wake of that Hour's departure, she has retained her ability to take the suffering of others onto herself. Some say she enjoys it. Some also claim she was a Name of [[The Bait]] before she entered the Gravedigger's service.
