The Batter was a peculiar being.
He was quiet and rarely had decent conversations anyone apart from maybe The Judge or the merchant, Zacharie. Occasionally he'd have a short talk with an Elsen. Other than that nobody really knew him. He was rather blunt and stoic. Often his vocabulary consisted just of the words "Yes, "No," and "Purify" and he was always rather brief. The man rarely showed emotion. His posture was odd, always looking up at some unseen force, and his movements were clumsy. He was considered an oddity, at least to the majority of the Elsen who inhabited the three zones.
However he made it clear to those he did speak to that he had a purpose to fulfil, a purpose led by his puppeteer.

Zone 1 had been purified, he had no business there. He had crossed the nothingness. Now The Batter stood alone in Zone 2.
For the first time, Batter realised he could move freely on his own. A feeling that he was not used to. He stretched his fingers, looking quizzically at them as if he didn't even know what they was. Then he moved his arm up and down. The Batter spent a while toying with himself as if he were a child then he solemnly resumed his original position, looking back up at the grim sky.

"Where did you go..?"
