On a somewhat peaceful evening, you decide to try summoning a Transient. Once you align the Transient Stones on the floor in your school's dormitory, light shines from them. Recomposing yourself from the flash, you open your eyes and see... My name 's Barguest. 'S they say, 'tis one thing to rub shoulders with someone, but I'd advise you to stay away from me.

A huge bear Transient, with tattered clothes, and a few scarfs greets you. He reeks of misfortune... it almost feels contagious.
