Johnson

After encountering a bandit outside of a settlement and defeating him, Bo had gruesomely dismembered the body for pieces to feed a wolf he tried to befriend. After failing to befriend the wolf, he decided to keep the skull, leaving the remains there. As time went on, he further desecrated whatever was left in hopes of friending animals, but to no avail.

Soon after entering The Settlement, he had named the skull, Johnson, after a pet rock he had as a kid. Johnson had gone through a lot with Bo, becoming his stand-in best friend in place of Emorck, parading it around, not as a trophy, per his customs, but as a macabre toy. While usually helpful, giving him light when Madre allowed it, Johnson had once given him a nightmare of sorts, morphing into the visage of a demon.

Some time later, Bo was forced to get rid of Johnson to adopt a starving wolf pup. He erected a ceremonial pyre to give him a proper sending and apologise for the mistreatment of the dead. Alithea seemed to have a different ceremony in mind than Bo. While most seemed similar, some key aspects definitely rubbed her off the wrong way.

Brasslock spoke up and chanted an orcish prayer alongside Bo, who seemed rather surprised hearing a dwarf speak the orcish tongue. The ceremony lasted a few hours until the skull was blackened, and Bo crushed the remains into fine dust that eventually got picked up and carried away by the wind. The pyre and a pile of rocks remain as markers.
