The experimental revenant procedure [[spoiler:invented by one Bastion Winnalis, his assassin,]] is deeply flawed and barely binds his soul to his rotting corpse, subjecting him to classic zombie horror hunger as his mind slowly rots alongside his maggot-infested flesh, forcing him to take on magical augmentations to replace his eyes, ears, and vocal cords while his non-essential senses permanently die. He flees his home country to prevent himself from gorging on his remaining family. Six years later, he's a refugee in a miserable steampunk country, unwilling to commit suicide is because his religion forbids it. Then, the scientist responsible for his re-animation discovers his creation and orders it shipped back to his home country to be used as the final piece of a superweapon, with Duane and the (lion-tailed child) courier unaware of their true intentions, crossing swords with his country's hated enemies and slavers along the way. Then the superweapon is prematurely unleashed and nearly destroys an entire town, which Duane and his international crack party foil, only for the military to purge the remaining town anyway. Then at a shrine to a religion that is anathema to Duane's, he is forced to realize that he and his brother are guilty of homicide, sending him into a further death spiral and driving him back into madness, which finally blooms when his courier mind-controls him into orchestrating a wholly blasphemous play that leaves everyone in sobbing tears.

* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'' s Duane Adelier was born into a low ranking family in a relatively low ranking caste, ruined his scholarship by saving his pseudo-transgender girlfriend from an assault, lost comrades and child soldier subordinates during his army days in the rebellion, confronted an important politician, lost a promotion, found himself set upon by hired thugs in a dark alley with his young daughter, drugged, arm broken, skull smashed in, only to feel one last surge of adrenaline long enough to watch his daughter accidentally impaled by a sword.

After these events, a currently unknown process occurs that brother is forced to watch. The experimental revenant procedure [[spoiler:invented by one Bastion Winnalis, his assassin,]] is deeply flawed and barely binds his soul to his now dead body giving rotting corpse, subjecting him not only a to classic zombie horror hunger, but full sentience hunger as he feels his mind slowly rots alongside his maggot-infested flesh, forcing him to take on magical augmentations to replace his eyes, ears, and vocal cords while his non-essential senses permanently die. He flees his home country to prevent himself decompose and loose all from gorging on his natural senses, ability to speak, and most of his soft tissue over a year until he composes mechanical and magical replacements for sight, speaking, and hearing. remaining family. Six years after the fact later, he's a skeleton of his former self and still tethered refugee in a miserable steampunk country, unwilling to his desecrated corpse. The only reason he won't commit suicide is because his religion forbids it. Then, the scientist responsible for his re-animation discovers his creation and orders it shipped back to his home country to be used as the final piece of a superweapon, with Duane and the (lion-tailed child) courier unaware of their true intentions, crossing swords with his country's hated enemies and slavers along the way. Then the superweapon is prematurely unleashed and nearly destroys an entire town, which Duane and his international crack party foil, only for the military to purge the remaining town anyway. Then at a shrine to a religion that is anathema to Duane's, he is forced to realize that he and his brother are guilty of homicide, sending him into a further death spiral and driving him back into madness, which finally blooms when his courier mind-controls him into orchestrating a wholly blasphemous play that leaves everyone in sobbing tears.
