“I won't stop at ten charr today-burn them. Burn them all!
— Horace
Horace is a powerful Ascalonian ghost that appears in Barradin's Vaults during the meta event Battle in the Vault.
Biography[edit]
In life, Horace was once a skilled member of the Ascalonian Army, who at the time set a record for killing the most charr per day—ten—and became the talk around the army.[1] When the charr unleashed The Searing in 1070 AE, Horace was one of the surviving people. However, the trauma he had suffered broke his mind, leaving him constantly rambling and confused. Despite multiple tries by others to help him[2], he became a permanent resident of Sardelac Sanitarium, a former abbey dedicated to Dwayna, with other survivors. When King Adelbern unleashed the Foefire in 1090 AE, Horace was one of its victims. At some point later, he decided to move to the vaults of Duke Barradin, haunting the place with other ghosts.

- Ascalon Guard: "Killed eight Charr today. If I get three more, I beat Horace's record."
- ^ Dialogue with Warmaster Tharan
- Warmaster Tharan: This place was once an abbey, but it's just a pile of broken bricks now. Horace over there has been here ever since the Charr attacked. We've taken him home to Ascalon City a number of times in hope that familiar sights might do him some good, but he always finds his way back here. Guess this is a home for him now.
