+1 Old One

 Hello! Its Lel again bringing in another character. One from a fantasy series this time, who I think should fit very well into Burby.

Meet young Will Stanton from the Dark is Rising Sequence. He's a thirteen-year-old boy who lives in a small village in 1970s Buckinghamshire with his very, very large family. He likes singing in choir, going on long bike trips through the countryside to visit old churches, and reading about folklore and anthropology.

Only there's a catch.  Will isn't quite human.  He's an immortal magical being called an Old One of the Light. Also, he's Merlin's colleague and successor. He's best friends with Arthur's son, who also grew up in the modern day. He can walk through time and he has thousands of years of knowledge of magic inside his head.

Also, he is alone. Just a few weeks ago Will's kind won the last great battle against the Dark and all of them sailed away to Avalon. All of Will's human friends forgot everything about their adventures together.  And Will? He was left behind. To watch and remember.

One of these days I will actually read Dark Is Rising.

Totally meant to tag Will during fourthwall, so I'm totally stoked that you're bringing him in so I can actually do it!
