Claimed Vessel. Brackston is bound to a supernatural force but remains fully aware of his actions. If Brackston is reduced to 0 hit points, he falls unconscious and is stable instead of dying, unless the damage is radiant or the result of a critical hit.
Borrowed Strength. Once on each of his turns, when Brackston hits with a melee weapon attack, the attack deals an extra 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.
Bloodied Frenzy. When Brackston is reduced to half his hit points or fewer for the first time, he enters a frenzy until the end of his next turn. While frenzied, Brackston has advantage on melee weapon attack rolls, and his melee weapon attacks deal an extra 3 (1d6) necrotic damage.
Relentless Will. Brackston has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
Multiattack. Brackston makes two melee attacks.
Claim-Twisted Tool. Melee Attack Roll: +5, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.
Grasp of the Claim (Recharge 5–6). One creature Brackston can see within 15 feet must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 13). While grappled in this way, the creature is restrained. A restrained creature takes 5 (1d10) necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns.
Driving Advance. Brackston moves up to 10 feet toward a hostile creature he can see. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.
Grit Through Pain (1/Day). Brackston gains 10 temporary hit points.
Refuse to Fall (1/Turn). When Brackston would be knocked prone or disarmed, he can make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a success, the effect is negated.

Treasure. Brackston carries his scythe weapon and worn farming tools (ragged knife, animal brush, coil of twine), personal effects (small pouch of jerky and small pieces of bread, and a broken pocket watch), and a small pouch containing 15 gp. Bound tightly to his arm is a glowing sigil etched with ancient Elvish script, radiating faint light-blue energy. The sigil is the source of the unnatural power sustaining him.
Removing the sigil intact causes a violent psychic backlash. When the sigil is removed, each creature within 10 feet of Brackston must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d8 psychic damage and 1d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Brackston automatically takes 2d10 psychic damage and 2d6 lightning damage when the sigil is removed.
