Blodhundr

**Blódhundr** is an important character from the Record of Tavern verse. He was one of Myiagros' first few experiments but was deemed a failure and dumped pretty early.

He takes part in the tournament between Aegis and Pagun as a fighter for Pagun fighting Churchill in the 12th round of the tournament.

## Appearance

He is a tall and lean pitch black entity who usually wears a grayish ragged full body cloak with a wooden tribal-like mask in the shape of an owl. Underneath his mask are two large beady eyes with pupils darker than his skin.

## Personality

Blódhundr is a persistent being who will go to immense efforts to stalk down and hunt down his prey until their end. He is also shown to take advantage of every possible opportunity he has if it means that he has a chance to hunt down his prey.

## Background

He was one of Myiagros' first few experiments being made sometime during ancient history before being thrown away and deemed a failure for not being able to absorb powers. However, when roaming on earth he ended up finding out that he wasn't able to absorb powers, but monsters themselves. This was also when he first came into contact with humans, at first he kept his distance and just studied how they hunted down livestock to live and employing those tactics to hunt down monsters, however, on one of his hunts the monster he was hunting ended up running away into a nearby village but Blódhundr managed to kill it before there were any casualties, this lead to the village spreading tales of his existence and heralding him as a hero and a protector of humanity, giving him the name Blódhundr as well as giving him gifts like the mask and cloak that he still wears to this day which he took pride in as this was the first time he felt needed since being abandoned.

However, as time passed and humanity grew, some societies took an interest in the occult especially the village he once protected which he had watch grow from a meager village into a mighty kingdom. This led to more monsters being brought into existence that could've threatened the survival of the race and Blódhundr's contact with humanity faded and over generations he was no longer seen as a protector or a hero, but as a mere myth. The mighty kingdom he was seen as the protector of had become one which barely remembered his name and became corrupted by the occult, their focus turned from being a peaceful kingdom of culture and science to one which summoned ghoulish monster after ghoulish monster to amass an army capable of conquering all neighbouring kingdoms and city-states. Blódhundr soon found out about this and requested that the king stop this, but he and his advisors didn't even bat an eye at his request and he ordered the guards to throw him out. In a mix of rage, sadness and a sense of duty to ensure humanity survives, he transformed into a gargantuan amalgamation of monsters and crushed the entire kingdom in just one night, causing their name to be lost to the sands of time, including his own.

From then on he voyaged across the earth finding monsters to hunt down and upkeeping his duty before he soon realised that no matter how many monsters he hunted down, humanity would still keep finding ways to give these creatures power and thus he gave up and left them behind before leaving to Heaven where he resided before joining Pagun's side.
