Djhon Mballo was one of Threst's most acclaimed poets and musicians, credited with helping to revitalize traditional Threstian music for a modern age. He was composing what he hoped would be his greatest work when the catastrophe that destroyed Threst began, but when the event occurred, something changed him, turning his soul inside out. Now he wanders the ruins of the planet, causing those who meet him to emit what's come to be known as the Elegy as they die.
