Sam Beckett (Farmer)
Sam has worked as a farmer his entire life. One day while milking the cows he was kicked in the head and suffered amnesia. He wandered off in a daze, and upon finally coming to his senses after an unknown interval (weeks? months? years?) he found himself in an unfamiliar country, still working as a farmer. His goal is to make his way back home, but he has no idea where that may be. In the meantime, his good nature insists he do good deeds along his journey.
