Sadge Merrall is a clerk in the Supply Depot. He's made the brave decision—or foolish, depending on how you look at it—to venture forth into the Unknown Regions, the vast area of darkness surrounding the City of Ember. Yet even in such darkness, Sadge must have seen something—something really scary and unnerving—because when he comes back, he's in a terrible state, crying, shouting, and howling. Clearly, something pretty disturbing must have happened to him. All those tales about strange monsters lurking in the Unknown Regions appear to have credence all of a sudden. For the time being, however, exactly what happened to Sadge remains a total mystery. But there's no doubt that whatever it was has caused the poor man to take leave of his senses and go out of his mind completely.
