Companion Story
A tracker by trade, finding dear and boar. But his lord one day asked 'the Tracker' to help in the search for the Brotherhood of the Woods and so he did. As with dear and boar, 'the Tracker' expected the Brotherhood to suffer a quick a painless death - instead his lord hung them in front of his castle walls. A constant reminder of 'the Tracker's' deeds he decided he wanted no part in cruel murder. You could say he's in-between jobs. Looking for a merciful lord to serve.
