Bernie Capax

Bernie Capax is one of the "Old Ones." While on his way to work one morning he recollects his dream from the previous night where he walked amongst Mammoths and was remembering their smell...something he hadn't smelled since his childhood. Unfortunately he was lost within his own thoughts and didn't notice that he was walking past a construction site or that there was a brick wall that was about to crush him.

Bernie is one of the first people to die in the Brief Lives storyline written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Jill Thompson.
