Omar is a young member of the Usher family, a long line of separatists who came to Radavan a few centuries ago to worship the gods as they wished. Like his family, he works to understand the relationship between the living and the dead. However in his case, he has chosen to follow the Raven Queen rather than the tradition of the Traveller his family originally followed. He has been given the “Gloves of the Usher” at his maturation ceremony, giving him the strength of three for his work as a mortician.
