I have not known Brigante very well, nor have I rp’ed much with him, but I did often see his reactions both on the Argent Dawn and General Discussion forums. He was already on our server when I came to Argent Dawn in 2013 myself, and hearing that he is no more, does feel like a good part of the server has now left us. What I remember best of him were some of the stories he wrote about his character, and they were pretty immersive.
I hope that wherever he is, he can now rest easy, and that his friends and family can find the strength to process his loss.
