Straker

Straker is a freelance bounty hunter who operates from central Eriabourne. He generally does not work alone, but has a reputation for disloyalty and cowardice. He is currently serving time in Coldharbour for kidnapping and conspiracy to commit murder.
== History and Personality ==
Straker has not been forthcoming with his life story. His accent implies a youth spent in the Dales, and his clothes, although travel-stained, suggest a period of affluence. Beyond this, Straker’s past remains a mystery.
In manner, Straker is bitter, unfriendly, and dismissive. He is often mocked and ridiculed, which infuriates him greatly.
== Skills and Powers ==
Straker is a competent tracker and warrior who specialises in contracts against humanoids. He fights with a sword and bow, although he works best with others so he can land precise strikes on unprotected opponents. 
== In the Campaign ==
Azuk, Salazar and Keldin first encountered the bounty hunter in the Kingslane Caverns, where he had become trapped in the webs of the local driders. The party fought the monsters and freed Straker, though they were struck by his ingratitude. He stated that he had places to be and left the caves.
Straker was later also encountered at the town of Ilvaska, where he’d joined forces with the mercenary Kaylee and the dwarf warrior Rygg in order to investigate the bandit raids. Their team successfully tracked the theft to Moragh, Redshanks and Sharcle, but not before the Bloodsworn confronted the band and began their battle with the dragon. Although Kaylee and Rygg had returned to discuss events with Mayor Dourbeard, Straker continued to track Sharcle’s team in the hope of claiming the bounty himself. When the white dragon revealed itself, Straker hung back and shot arrows at it before fleeing back to Ilvaska.
At the Horn of Heroes, as a celebration was held in honour of the victory against the dragon, Tam the Cautious gave a speech on the battle, drily mocking Straker’s cowardice at the same time. Amidst gales of laughter, Straker left the tavern, but before he left, Azuk told him that he’d have an ally in Nash.
Straker later worked with Ra'Zeel, Nash, and Tazar to try and frame the Bloodsworn for Lord Fenry's murder, but this was unsuccessful. He and Nash are now jailed in Coldharbour.
