A figure, large and present through time in ways most would not understand. Seemingly uncaring about all except his own principles, the one we refer to as the Other (for legitimate reasons, lest some accidentally call upon his old name), finds his way through life.

Tags with a grain of salt, items may be mentioned briefly in story so far, or in chapters already written but not published. Content warnings just in case. Some perspective switching in the first several chapters. [Strong from the Start] applies, so if that's not your cup of tea as it were, look elsewhere. If I ever get around to a Part 2/Volume 2 then that may change. Legitimately though, in the first chapters an explanation is provided for referencing to the MC as 'the Other.'  [Final chapter published: 5/8/2023]
