Young Ox Drover

This character is known only as a Young Ox Drover.

As Destiny flips through the pages of his book he sees a brief moment of Death, on the day she is mortal sitting, at the edge of the Yangtze River, with this young ox drover. He is telling her of his "grand schemes and plans."

There is another moment in The Wake when this boy MIGHT appear again. As Dream is floating down the river into his afterlife, there is a young Asian boy who throws blue roses into the river. Based on the clothing, I think this might be the same boy, but they appear to be different ages (but age is just a perception in dreams) and so I am not 100% sure it's the same character. I guess we will all need to wait until one of the future Annotated Sandman volumes is released.

Anyway, here is the Young Ox Drover.
