EMP-584: Bingus

Bingus is the oldest of three brothers. Known for his severity and dedication to his work, he had never failed to deliver plants whenever they were required for the Empire, leading expedition groups to help them avoid suffering from the Cataclysm's Breath. One day one of his brothers pointed out a weird plant which required to get a better look at it. All three brothers broke their own rules and investigated the plant. Bad for them, it was an illusion created out of tiredness.
After returning from the expedition, Bingus noticed hair loss and symptoms of what it seemed to be a flu. He refused to let anyone take care of it, but before he knew it his sphirix was gone as well as his hair. Bingus was quickly treated and taken out of the zombie state, but nothing was left of him.

Thanks to his ability to see sphirix and other magic manifestations that were mostly hidden to the sight, the scholars usually asked for his help in various studies. He'd been prompted to study Yokai, but for some reason he's terrified of them.
