Overview[]
Rigsy was a young black man who lived in Bristol, England in the early-mid 2010s. He was forced to work as part of a labor group removing graffiti from an underground residential tunnel. Rigsy was aware of a number of strange disappearances taking place in the area, and was very protective of the murals painted on the tunnel walls, commemorating the missing.
Rigsy met a woman named Clara Oswald, who claimed to be a Doctor. Clara took a keen interest in the disappearances and worked with Rigsy to uncover the mystery. Through the course of events, Rigsy learned that Clara was actually a companion to a time-traveling adventurer known as The Doctor.
Rigsy and Clara had a harrowing altercation with a race of beings from another dimension, which came to be known as The Boneless. [1]
