Gwizdo

Gwizdo is the second main protagonist of the Dragon Hunters series. He is a main negotiator of his small dragon-fighting team. In contrast to Lian-Chu, he constantly thinks about the welfare of the team and looks for ways to achieve it. He is also a born pilot.
== Appearance ==
Gwizdo is a short and skinny beardless young man with the physique of an early teen. He can be recognized by his sharp potato nose, big eyes, carelessly cropped brown hair and a gap in his front teeth. His genotype is seemingly close to Eastern European. In his behavior, he is distinguished by mobility and rich facial expressions, which more than compensate for his natural plainness and inconspicuousness. At the same time, by provincial standards, he is considered moderately attractive among his generation. He usually wears a worn pilot's outfit in earthy shades in case of need to show his outstanding driving skills.
== Biography ==
Gwizdo became an orphan shortly after his birth. Nothing is known about his real parents, as well as why he was abandoned (according to additional biographical materials, it is very possible that the boy was a foundling from a dysfunctional family). He spends his entire childhood at the mother Hubbard's farm. Obviously he doesn't like noisy games, and is more interested in reading. Being weak and small, he is often attacked by stronger and taller orphans. After Lian-Chu's appearing at the farm, Gwizdo gets closer to him while helping to ease depression after the family tragedy. As a result, from early childhood they form a fraternal union. At first Lian-Chu and Gwizdo have a dream that someone will adopt them, but at the end their hopes aren't fulfilled. However in adolescence, Lian-Chu hones his skills as a hunter under the guidance of the mighty dragon fighter Grolok whose he met at the forest. Gwizdo, who masters the drafting of contracts on his own, agrees with his friend that becoming dragon hunters after graduation is an ideal option for both, since this is a real chance to earn a lot of money and buy their own farm. At the very beginning of their hunting practice, a small fluffy dragon named Hector becomes their first trophy and Gwizdo assigns him the role of a squire in a team. 
The first attempts to make money most often fail due to the skepticism of their customers. Nevertheless, in their early twenties, the duo purposefully improves their work skills without the help of mentors. Bragging about Lian-Chu's successes in front of the young princess Zoе, Gwizdo becomes the unwitting inspiration for her to take hunting lessons from the team. Ten years later, after successfully defeating many dangerous dragons, all of them become licensed dragon hunters in the guild. 
It is noted that during his career, Gwizdo successfully got out of many situations where more physically savvy and brave dragon fighters laid their bones. Also, during the intensive work with the papers, he managed to almost lose and completely restore his eyesight. 
== Personality ==
Gwizdo is Lian-Chu's best friend and his dragon-fighting companion. Although Gwizdo is a complete weakling who has a poor set of survival skills in the wild and doesn't directly participate in battles, he is very smart (unlike Lian-Chu, who is not very smart (although it is difficult to call him completely stupid)). It is Gwizdo who makes deals with Lian-Chu’s employers (this is especially well shown in the animated prequel). He participates in many of Lian-Chu's adventures both in the series and in the animated feature film. He stubbornly insists on a clear division of responsibilities in the team and is obsessed with accounting, but Lian-Chu's heroic example is quite contagious to him. It is shown that Gwizdo, without outside help, is able to gain the upper hand in an honest fist fight with an opponent of comparable size or use the environment effectively enough to buy himself time in the confrontation with an immeasurably stronger enemy.
In the full-length movie, Gwizdo is exhausted by terrible working conditions and behaves like a complete jerk not only towards his employers (who, by the way, are still ungrateful brutes), but also towards Lian-Chu himself (for example, he scolds Lian-Chu for his hobby of knitting, which he sincerely believes women's hobby (however, Gwizdo still has the tact to apologize)). Also, when Lord Arnold hires them to kill the World Eater (a dangerous dragon who killed many people, including Lian-Chu’s parents), Gwizdo tries to deceive him and run away with the money, and when Arnold’s young niece Zoe (future Zoria) follows them, Gwizdo wants to bring her home, and although he is right that she is better off at home, he did not intend to go fight the dragon, as Zoe expects. During physical and psychological burnout he even seriously considers throwing her in the forest to be devoured by wild animals, and a bit later subsequently throws her to be torn to pieces by dragons (Zoe saves herself). True, closer to the culmination of the movie, he still changes for the better. In particular, he begins to treat Zoe better, doesn't let her die in the dragon's mouth in the absence of Lian-Chu nearby and even stands up for her in front of her uncle only to be personally punished instead of her for escaping and audacity. 
In the series he is already more friendly and compassionate. He repeatedly helped out his team in seemingly hopeless negotiations although he continuously fell into alarming and deadly traps. Of course, in order to survive and succeed, he practices perseverance and intransigence out of old habit. Gwizdo regularly exploits his favorite pet assistant, Hector, as a laborer, and keeps a slightly boring teacher's manner of communication among the children. In addition, in the series, he becomes a much more driving force of the plot than his friend. While Lian-Chu is ready to settle down to the standard of living that the team has achieved, Gwizdo is obsessed with finding new tasks and conflicts to achieve full financial autonomy. By the second season, he replaces Lian-Chu in becoming the main source of new knowledge about dragons for the team due to the awakened interest in scientific work. Gwizdo is still an inveterate pragmatist in his manners, bit despite his huge reserve of distrust of people and his tendency to succeed through scams, he regularly sacrifices his personal advantage when he sees obvious injustice.
