- enfant: French: child.
An Enfant is a recently deceased wraith. An Enfant is partially amnesiac, and a Caul covers his face, altering their perceptions of whatever they encounter.
Overview[]
Enfants are the recently deceased who have not yet acclimated to the Shadowlands. They are usually between a few days and a few weeks old, and are covered by a Caul of plasm which keeps them in a semi-dreamlike state, unable to see or hear fully what is going on. This Caul also obscures the Enfant's thoughts and perceptions, so that their first days of afterlife are a somnolent, confused haze of blurred images and half-remembered voices. Until their Caul is removed by a Reaper, the Enfant will be unable to see, hear or think clearly. A lucky few wraiths manage somehow to remove their own Cauls, generally those Enfants who possessed extraordinary willpower in their mortal days.
