An old man

I would imagine him as a beggar, but a beggar he might not be. A wizard or saint in disguise? Or a simple old man, poor in a material world, rich in experience!

The characters coming alive through the misty curtain; just as the city bell rings to announce the premature end of an unfinished tale.
