“Mostly. I have no substance, although you can target me with exotics through the shadow. I’m anchored to you, which means my welfare is linked to yours. I absorb most exotic damage before it gets through to you, so you might say I’m a glorified shield. It’s only after I die that you’re in trouble on that front. And the only people who can hear me right now are you and other revenants. That’s going to be both a help and a dreadful inconvenience, you’ll find. There’s only one other revenant, who won’t be accompanying us. You’ll be meeting him shortly.”
revenant /ˈrevəˌnäN, -nənt/ I. noun a person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead. – origin early 19th cent.: French, literally ‘coming back,’ present participle (used as a noun) of revenir.
