Tavern keeper over the garden wall6/13/2023 To keep the lantern lit the Woodsman was required to chop down Edelwood trees as they possessed an oil secretly made from the souls of lost children.Īs brothers Wirt and Gregory arrived in the woods of the Unknown, they were found by the Woodsman who offered temporary hospitality, pointed them in the direction of a nearby town, told Greg to give his pet frog a proper name and warned them of the beast.Īfter Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice journey to a mysterious tavern, the locals warn the brothers of the Beast, an unholy creature who stalks the night and captures children who are lost. The Beast made a deal with the Woodsman to put his daughter's soul inside the lantern and explained that her soul would live on as long as he kept the flame lit. Assuming the Beast killed her, the Woodsman fought the Beast and took the dark lantern as his own. When the Woodsman finally made it to the scene, he found his daughter's cloak torn on the ground and the Beast looming over the evidence of an attack. He woke up in the middle of the night to find that his daughter snuck out in an attempt to collect firewood. As winter approached, the Woodsman and his daughter began running low on supplies due to his lack of forethought and thorough organization. Although he was disturbed by the woods, they lived peacefully until his wife was injured by an unknown animal (possibly The Beast), and died of the wound. Deep down he has a moral compass that makes him good at heart.īefore the events of Over the Garden Wall occurred, he was a municipal judge who made powerful enemies, forcing him out of the city and into a country house living with his wife and daughter. Upon his lantern bearing era, he became aggrieved and forlorn yet diligent in fueling the dark lantern's flame. He lacks compassion for strangers, quick to assume the worst until he can further assess their character. When it comes to his daughter, he is determined and protective at any cost. He prefers to abide to the safest route rather than taking risks to have a better outcome. When he lost his wife, he only became more paranoid of the forest keeping his daughter strictly indoors. He's fairly dependent and picky previously relying on his wife to hunt, cook and tend to their crops while challenging the safety and edibility of the materials she brought home. Once he and his family moved, he became wary of the Unknown's forest. Preferring a good book over the chance to explore the outdoors, the Woodsman is introverted and contently reserved. The Woodsman is introduced in the Comics as an older man who depends greatly on his family for a sense of balance and security. His right hand wields an axe for chopping them down while his left hand holds the dark lantern which he stole from the Beast. Strapped around his chest is a harness for attaching stacks of Edelwood branches onto his back. His trousers are taupe brown with the hems tucked into a pair of dark shiny boots. He wears a grey hat and trench coat over top of a white collared shirt and black suspenders. He has a rounder build, not originally accustomed to activities involving the outdoors. The Woodsman has short grey hair, black eyes and a scowling expression.
