Hannibal Ernest

An honorary Horizon Walker, due to his friendship with the Kestrel.
== History ==
Born in Prim, his father was a shepherd and his mother washed clothes - he had always had a knack for hunting and befriending animals - he eventually found employ under Grand Duke Moitessier's Beast Mistress Nikita Pelletier as her apprentice and eventually impressed King Tybalt enough to be requested on as as his Beast Master.
During this time he freed a raccoon from a trap rather than kill it - on a whim, an action that would eventually be repaid.
He remained in the position for 10 years until a rival outed Hannibal as a gay man and he was shunned from Tybalt's court, en route to the Liberated Lands to find shelter from Tybalt under Duchess Sigolene's banner he was assailed by demons from Ethurus and protected by the Kestrel - in the guise of the raccoon he'd one freed - who fended off the demons and revealed itself to him as a planar entity and encouraged him to seek out Viper.
When he met the woman - she was impressed that he'd commanded the respect of a Kestrel and allowed him membership into her band of the Horizon Walkers and tasked him with more minor portals and planar incidents, he's been in the position for twelve years now.
Five years ago Hannibal came across a young Halfling named Elinora who had accidentally wandered into an Edrilyran portal and acquired druidcraft as a result, Kestrel closed the portal and helped him craft a necklace to protect the young girl from planar energies - he encouraged her to avoid adventuring and to keep herself safe and sound, he gave her a sending stone for emergencies.
In late 631 he was kidnapped by the Overseer of Eolura Lielle and imprisoned with an Aukidian Portal - she was curious to see the effects of Aukidian on the mortal mind and figured a Horizon Walker would make an apt subject. Despite his low tolerance due to not actually being a Horizon Walker he survived the encounter and was freed by the Circle in 632 and eventually returned to the Horizon Walkers and explained what the Overseer was involved with. He is still recovering from the ordeal and has been on bed rest in a chateau offered to him by the King of Norley.
