History[]
In May 1349, under the arrangement of Quill of Alzuhod, Welch purchased the Antigonus Family's Notebook from Hanass Vincent.[2] He asked Naya and Original Klein to interpret and record the content.[1]
On June 27, the power of the Antigonus Family's Notebook was awakened by black divination, which caused Welch, Naya, and Original Klein to mysteriously commit suicide. To conceal the existence of the Beyonder, their deaths were reported as a burglary on Tingen Morning Post.
“…According to the police department, the scene at Mr. Welch’s home was a horrible sight. There was missing gold, jewelry, and money, as well as anything valuable that could be easily taken away. Not even a penny was left behind. There is reason to believe that this was done by a merciless group of criminals that would not hesitate to kill the innocent, such as Mister Welch and Madam Naya, if sight of their faces are caught.”
“This is outright contempt for our kingdom’s laws! This is a challenge to public security! No one wishes to have such an encounter! Of course, one piece of good news is that the police have located the murderer and captured the main culprit. We will do our best to provide news on any follow-ups.”
“Reporter: John Browning.”
Welch's corpse was escorted back to his hometown and buried in the cemetery outskirts of the coastal Constant City.[3]
