Tolman is the now-deceased boyfriend of Clarissa. He was tortured to death by Piety of Theopolis in the Crematorium in what is presumably one of her thaumaturgical experiments. Retrieving the bracelet he was given by Clarissa is the objective of the Lost in Love quest.
Tolman was tortured to death by Piety minutes before you reached him. He can be heard screaming upon entering the Crematorium, begging for death.
