Unless you have a backup copy of the .sav file then no, I don’t think theres a way to get him back.
all that other data (AFAIK) is storing what your character has seen already so that piece of the world map is already generated for new chars.

Trick for playing non-Hardcore is to know when to X out of the game before getting killed. Usually any HP in the red is a good cue, as is yellow in a situation where running isn’t an option.
If you’re in a Mine and see a pink wall, leave and don’t come back until/unless you have 19 Intelligence. Safer that way.

Harder to apply that when you die from a bug 😛

i just keep the game zipped that way it always asks you if you want to update the save when you end the game.

I guess that’s one way to do it. Nice job.
