I saw no name pop up, and I double-checked to make sure I wasn't in multiplayer mode. Looking back at me was another character with the default skin, but his eyes were empty. I thought it was a cow, so I pursued it, hoping to grab some hides for armor. I noticed something move amongst the dense fog (I have a very slow computer so I have to play with render distance tiny).

Those white, hollow, piercing eyes belonging to a skin similar to the friendly, well-known Steve has been rumored to wander the player's Overworld. Herobrine has become the staple urban legend of Minecraft, but where, canonically, did his legend begin?
