Horatio is a figure from Tipid's past, a long-dead friend whose memory haunts the crawler every day. First mentioned in The Eye of the Bedlam Bride as a symbol of the terrible choices Tipid made to survive, Horatio's story gains tragic detail in This Inevitable Ruin: while his wife and older child had already survived and accepted a deal, Horatio held out hoping for something better, and he never understood why Tipid left him behind. He remains an offstage presence, defined entirely by loss, regret, and the brutal cost of survival in the dungeon.
