Flesh Man has no mythology. He is Everyman. He is a person who has become
aware of, and overwhelmed by the nature of personal death, divine
extermination and cosmic annhilation. He is made of flesh: transient stuff.
He is the urge that propels ordinary people to explore the God World.
Flesh Man is also a composite character. It is a title that is given to a
variety of individuals that participatred in Harmast's quest. It is a blank
seat at the table for what or whomever is either needed or there at the
moment.
