Biography
Not much is known about The Hanged Man, It is believed that he was one of the many contributers in the development of the Immortal Cell. At some point he and his race where at war with the blue skin race, so prehaps his desire for immortality was in order to either turn the war to his favor and or to preserve his kingdom. However the war ended aburptly with neither side winning, as the four titans where suddenly reactivated and sent by Judgement to devastate the land. The Hanged Man and his people fought back valiantly using modified cannons that fire immensly power regenerating crystals, killing one of the four titans, only for the cannons to overload and expload, trapping many raccoons inside hard crystal, those who survived the blasts but where still infected by the crystals where driven mad by crystals' agonizing effects. Eventually even The Hanged Man was infected by the crystals leaving him in a state ceaseless agony and he too began to gradually loose his sanity in the process. In the end his Kingdom was left in ruin and very few survived. Years later the Drifter in his search for a cure to his illness stumbles upon the silent Hanged Man. Fueled with rage and shock, knowing that a blue skin has entered into his domain, The Hanged Man procceeds to violently lash out against the Drifter and a fight ensues. After The Hanged Man's defeat, his entire body is encased in crystal as his upper-half falls off and cracks to pieces, freeing him from his pain and torment.
