Einar Gutierrez

Einar Gutierrez is a Spanish-American tomcat who lives in the Ozarks. Born in the Ozarks, Einar grew up knowing about his father’s exploits as a hero, his mother’s suffering at the hands of her ex-husband, and the mysterious disappearance of his older sister. Vowing to reunite his family, he decides to become a vigilante and help protect the people in the small village of Swallowtail, Arkansas, which has been terrorized by Moses, Punkin’ Puss’ cousin. 
He makes his proper debut in Blazin’ Trails Redux, and is a supporting character in seasons 5 and 6.
== Personality ==
Einar is a very warm person, more than happy to lend a shoulder to cry on. He is similar to Droop-a-Long in the fact he's innocently oblivious to a woman's attempt to seduce him; thankfully, his father and older half-brother, Punkin’ Puss, would help him to recognize the signs. Industrious and hardworking, he loves to come up with new ways to help his small village prosper, which makes him a godsend in a place so remote that government assistance is virtually unheard of. It’s clear that he inherited his father’s military genius, as evidenced in his vigilante work where his traps and schemes allow him to stay one step ahead of the competition. Having learned of his large family on both of his parents’ sides, he tirelessly searched for Catalina when his father had given up hope, and he convinced his older half-brother to take in the motherless 12 year old sextupals after Moses killed Harmony Sue, in which Susie was more than happy to do so, for no child should feel abandoned. He strongly believes in redemption, and worked hard to help his older half-siblings, Arnold and Lila, be freed from their father’s brainwashing and abuse. A devout Christian, he does his best to practice what he preaches, and will happily share his faith with those who will listen. 
However, he has a limit and once you push him, his rage is more terrifying than Punk's due to the fact it simmers, and that is far more chilling than it exploding immediately. Like his father, anybody who assaults women or kills children is instantly on his “swift punishment” list, and he will kill the offending party in the swiftest and most brutal way possible. This is a trait that he shares with his father and sister, and Punkin’ Puss notes that he’d better not make an enemy out of them. 
Outside of his vigilante work, he has a penchant for the fast life, and loves gambling, although at one point it landed him in trouble with some locals. Smoking is another vice that he took up recently, and though not as bad as others, he was close to a pack a day. However, he gives up the latter when he meets his nieces and nephews, wanting to set a good example. He likes swimming, though not as much as Nadia or Cat, and is skilled at judo, able to go toe to toe with Ricochet in a bout. 
== History ==
Einar was born in Swallowtail, Arkansas, on December 10th, in his mother’s childhood cabin. His father, Joaquin Gutierrez, is a famed hero-for-hire who was known as the savior of the hills due to his service. His mother, Dixie, is a native of the Ozark mountains, and was living a better life after escaping from her ex-husband and his family. He was young when he learned that he had an older sister who passed away seven years earlier, an event that made his father overprotective of him. Growing up, he learned how to hunt, fish, swim, and even learned to fight with a sword, making him a near perfect blend of mountain cat and refined gentleman.

== Trivia ==
* Einar is one of several characters from the For Love and Glory series that made their debut in Blazin’ Trails Redux. Einar is a unique case is that he was introduced after the creation of another character, in this case, Don Gutierrez. Vulaan Kulaas created Einar shortly after the creation of his father. 
*Vulaan Kulaas decided that he would not become a hero-for-hire like his father, but rather become a blend of bounty hunter and vigilante that helps people in the surrounding areas, as his father’s position means that he has to spend a lot of time away from home. 
* His first name, Einar, is Scandinavian for “one warrior”, while his nickname, Derecho, is Spanish for “Windstorm”.
