Alger Wilson, known as The Hanged Man, emerges in the Tarot Club as a seasoned sea captain whose humble exterior conceals a man of considerable experience and hidden depths. Throughout the series, he evolves from a cautious participant at the bronze table to an active collaborator in Klein Moretti's grand schemes, balancing his maritime duties with increasingly dangerous mystical pursuits. His instinctive wariness of powerful names and eager embrace of new opportunities mark him as both survivor and seeker in the treacherous world of Beyonders.

Description

A man wearing a golden mask with rough, primitive facial features reminiscent of ancient forest dwellers. The mask covers his entire face, leaving only his eyes visible through narrow slits. He has a lean, athletic build suited to a seafaring life. Dressed in weathered captain's clothing with a distracted, contemplative expression.
