Hazel Rainart

**Hazel Esben Rainart** was a Valean former huntsman and later terrorist who joined Salem's Cabal.

Hazel was born in the Valean frontier and was the older brother of Gretchen Rainart. When Hazel was a child, his parents perished and he began taking care of his sister. Hazel began training to be a huntsman in order to create a world of peace where orphans like him would never have to lose their parents. Hazel was a prodigy and graduated from Beacon Academy at the age of 18. Hazel married his partner after graduating and would become one of the best huntsmen in the world. Hazel would join Ozpin's secret group the Protectors of Remnant.

As Hazel grew older, he gradually began to become more and more cynical and eventually lost sight of his ideal. The breaking point was when Gretchen was killed in a mission. Having lost all hope for the world and completely abandoned his ideal, Hazel left the Protectors of Remnant and attempted to kill Salem in an attempt to take out his rage on the Grimm Queen while also dying. Rather than kill him, Salem convinced Hazel to instead join her to create the world he once envisioned and that she could use her magic to resurrect his sister.

## Appearance

### General Appearance

Hazel was a Valean male with dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and a dark complexion. Hazel was an enormous man and incredibly muscular at 8'0" and weighing 450 lbs. Hazel was a very bulky man, yet his physique belied his true strength and speed. Hazel's massive amount of aura caused him to age much slower than normal, appearing to be in his late 20s rather than a man in his 50s.

Hazel had a head of thick, straight, and coarse dark brown hair. When Hazel was younger he kept his hair somewhat long, though as he grew older it began growing shorter and shorter. Hazel originally had his hair in a curtain haircut, though he eventually began slicking it back or tieing it into a stubby ponytail. Hazel's hair gradually began to gray as he grew older.

Hazel had large, round and slightly protruding eyes. Hazel's eyes were the same color as his eyes being considered deceptively beautiful. Hazel's eyes were incredibly sharp and showed off his aloof and stoic nature. At the same time Hazel's eyes had a sense of sadness and exhaustion to them like that of a veteran who has been fighting for far too long. Those who felt Hazel's gaze could tell he was evaluating them. Hazel was capable of giving frightening glares that shook anyone who they were directed at to their core. When Hazel reached a point of a berserker rage, Hazel's eyes showed all of his anger being more like that of a Grimm or feral animal that that of a man. Hazel had short and thick eyelashes as well as very large and thick eyebrows.

Hazel had a square face with handsome facial features. Hazel had a large forehead, high cheekbones, large ears, a large and sharp nose with small nostrils, a strong and sharp jawline, and strong, square chin. Hazel had thin lips that were a darker color than the rest of his skin. Hazel had a dark brown beard without a mustache that was somewhat coarse and only became larger and fuller as time went on. As Hazel got into more conflicts with the Protectors of Remnant, he got several scars on his face including on his chin, over his left eye, and on his forehead.

Hazel as an extremely tall and very well-built man, being quite bulky yet still capable of immense speed and maneuverability. Hazel had a short and extraordinarily thick neck, extremely broad shoulders, a vast and muscular back, long and bulky arms with bulging muscles, massive hands with thick fingers, a barrel chest with dark nipples, a flat abdomen with twelve-pack abdominal muscles, sculpted obliques, and an Adonis Belt, a wide waist, sculpted buttocks, long and muscular legs that were as thick as tree trunks with plump thighs and strong calves, and massive feet. Hazel's body was bulging with shredded muscle like that of a marble statue. Hazel had a rather dark complexion and his skin was rather rough with it's many scars and calluses. Hazel had several scars on his chest, arms, and stomach only graining more through his fights with the Protectors of Remnant. Hazel had a very hairy body with copious amounts of arms, chest, and stomach hair.
