Kip Testwuide, a man apart

Kip Testwuide. We see him, in dreams and visions, always alone, aloof, far from the dirty mob, the common herd, on a mountain top, or in a desert cave, working for the betterment of mankind. No one takes the trouble to thank him. Not that he would want anyone to do so. A man apart.

O Master, who the fuck is Gabriel Azedo?

Kip Testwuide. Manly, magnificent, proud, aristocratic (in a spiritual sense), hardy, resourceful, intelligent, adventurous. Not afraid to go beyond the reality of everyday life. Not afraid to risk his life for a bauble. A man apart.

A bauble? O Master, who the fuck is Gabriel Azedo?

Kip Testwuide. A warrior, a dreamer, certainly a visionary. Where did he come from? And must he leave the earth? Once he has floated off to the other realm, will mankind ever see his like again? A man apart.

O Master, who the fuck is Gabriel Azedo?

Kip Testwuide. Hero.
