Or not, it's the player's choice. Whether or not a player remembers what they have encountered so far is up to them. It's part of playing the game. Game knowledge is what is really at issue here. What have the players learned about the game? Whether they are on their 1st character or their 10th (100th?), they are able to continue playing the same game/campaign instance across the course of each character. ...Of course they need to begin at the very beginning of the game after losing each too. The individual PC's "knowledge" is just another bit of the game that's tracked behind the screen. Which allows for the DM to operate the PC as an NPC if and when it ever becomes so. In terms of 5e though I don't think the OP's topic is really part of that game.</blockquote>
