Duncan is a hero from the Giant War.  In the mainland, that's all he's known for, as he was on the south side of the 
	quarry when it became poisoned.
His primary feature is his right hand, coming from his involvement with the dreamer's cult.  It is formless, and
	appears in the shape of an abstract, clawed hand.  It looks like the starry night sky viewed through a sheet 
	of water.  Since the hand is formless, it can change shape and size, but it's normally unnecessary and takes 
	concentration.
Duncan was actually the creator of the Dream Forge, in a way.  The dreamers could only sleep for so long, and this was 
	impacting their ability to forge.  So they made a deal with one of their mercenary guards (Duncan).  The 
	dreamers inverted the forging process by force (while dreaming of course) while Duncan held his hand in the 
	manifestor.  It was painless, at least.  The result is that the inversion stuck to his hand; now, anything he 
	touched with that hand would be demanifested from reality to dream.  To all bystanders, this looks like he's 
	got a wicked antimatter paw that deletes everything.  No one knows this anymore, and Duncan was the only one 
	that knew the ups and downs of it.
	Right, so anyway, this was exactly what the dreamers were hoping for.  They spent a couple days running tests 
	to confirm it.  Then they had Duncan kill them all.  Sort of.  If he makes his hand big enough to engulf a 
	skull, he can make them a permanent dreamer.  It's funny, he's basically their savior, and no one knows it but 
	them and they don't talk much in dreams.  They could have easily made a whole squadron of annihilators, but 
	they were eager to dream forever, churning out weapons for a war long ended.  Duncan realized this was a great 
	power that could help in the war front, so he moved down south.  The research team didn't have enough time to 
	tell him if it was a problem to turn monsters into dreamers (and the topic was a bit taboo), so he decided on 
	his own that he should avoid doing it.
Duncan was probably paid in concubines.  I imagine he had a few tagging along with him down south.  He's basically 
	one-handed anyway, so he needs help with some things.  He could have had a gauntlet commissioned to constrain 
	his hand, but he was too caught up in other things to go back north for it.  Since his hand destroys without 
	his consent or awareness, he has to be careful not to hit allies or himself.  Luckily this dude enjoyed glory, 
	so he ended up being a solo fighter (with his hos on standby for support).  He had to have a sort of splint 
	for his right arm to sleep safely, but luckily the dreamer research team made one for him before he left.
He lost a couple of concubines during the war, of course.  He's great at offense, but he can't really defend others.  
	Since they were from the dreamer temple, he agreed to render them to dream before they died.  He settled down
	after this, not pursuing the giants further south with the front lines.  Him and some other tired fighters 
	made a little village.  Duncan's power proved pretty handy for terraforming and shaping material for tools.
Years went by, and a new monster came.  This one didn't have a form, and it brought sickness and nightmares.  The 
	reality was that it was feeding off of Duncan, who hasn't been doing well mentally.  Duncan decides that a 
	dream monster requires dream soldiers, and convinces the others to sacrifice cubs because they're strong at 
	dreaming.  Sacrifice to Duncan's hand, of course.  And this seems to work temporarily.  A few years go by, and 
	the sacrifices have slowly increased to where there are several.  Duncan dies of a stroke.  Perhaps he 
	realized the truth before he died, but if he did, it was not known.  But everyone else noticed that the monster 
	went away after his death, and so they decided that the monster was Duncan all along.  They cursed his memory 
	and cast his remains to the sea.  His hand crystallized into a powerful relic, but no one dares tread the sea.
