Wartime opportunities are not only for professional soldiers. Professional bounty hunters also find ample reason to haunt the front lines of the Immorese wars. Regular military and mercenary camps alike are havens for fugitives attempting to elude the law. Notorious war criminals sometimes sell their services as soldiers of fortune, either hiding their true identities or capitalizing on them. Deserters also account for small, but steady, sums of reward money. Such fugitives are the livelihood of professional bounty hunters like Dannon Blythe and her trollkin companion, Bull.
The pair has worked together for years, sometimes scouring the capitals of the Iron Kingdoms for their fugitive quarry and other times taking to the road. The recent fighting has been a boon for the trade, allowing motivated freelancers to supplement agents of the law who have seen their resources dwindle. The job is simple: bring ’em in, dead or alive. Sometimes the work can be messy, but expanding rail lines have made transporting recently expired criminals easier.
Blythe and Bull met years ago in Merin, where they joined forces to dismantle a large network of outlaws operating within the city. Bull’s dedication to brutality nicely complemented Blythe’s tactical ingenuity, and together they made short work of their quarry. They have been inseparable ever since.
The two have gained a fearsome reputation among the criminal element they hunt. Once they are on the trail, nothing can stop them. They will cross any border, venture into any wilderness, and join any battle in pursuit of their prey, from the darkest depths of the Thornwood to the most degenerate slums of Cryx. A target who hides within the ranks of a marching army makes their job more difficult, but they are more than willing to join any opposing force to gain access to the battlefield. The duo has such an excellent reputation that most commanders are more than happy to include them in their plans.
Blythe and Bull prefer to seize their quarry with an overwhelming show of force. He calmly brings the barrel of his massive Demolisher cannon to bear while she takes down the fugitive. Those too stupid to drop their weapons are killed in a hail of lead, while those with the brains to surrender are soon hog-tied and knocked senseless for a more peaceful journey to justice.
