History
The Old Man was a brave and noble hero who fought any evil toilets from toilet gangs who were attacking people. He worked around the Village and the Desert, helping people in need.

One day, the Old Man acquired the Triumph Card called The Hermit, which granted him the Ability of Fleeting Shadow. When people started to forget who he was, since he didn't understand how Abilities worked, he was slowly driven into insanity and retired to the mountaintops.

The Old Man baked and cooked things for himself in his home, including Pie and Lana. Eventually, the Protagonist found the Old Man. The Old Man attacked them, but they killed him and rescued Pie from the Old Man's cabin. It is unknown how Lana escaped from the cabin, but she did.
