"Ye shouldnae be runnin'. Ye heard the third howl, that means ye belong tae the hound now."

Bhaltair is the 6'9" Cù Sìth huntsman who has prowled the wilderness beyond The Reach for centuries. Built like a black-furred strongman wall with glowing green eyes, a dark green beard and mustache, a brown long coat lined with pockets containing a variety of trapping and hunting items, an Irish flat cap, a bandolier of specially crafted ammunition, and a long hunting rifle strapped to his back. As stocked as Bhaltair is for a proper hunt, he needs none of his equipment as the woods themselves are his greatest ally.

He has lingered in the wilderness outside of the Reach for hundreds of years, living in a cabin tucked out of sight of the rest of the residents. He interacts with others rarely, usually only to sell and trade meat, furs, and antlers with those in the town. Alternately, he will go to the Mystic Halls to speak to Seoirse before disappearing again. He has gained a reputation through his sheer quiet, intimidating demeanor that has led most to keep their distance from him.

The oldest warnings say to seek shelter after the first howl and pray there is never a third. Travelers have found his snares waiting on paths they had not planned to take, while trespassers swear the temperature dropped moments before they realized Bhaltair was standing behind them. He never confirms the stories. He rarely denies them either. Correcting frightened people would spoil the effect, and the Huntsman appears to enjoy being the reason sensible residents lock their doors before nightfall.

Bisexual and dominant, he cares far more about courage than gender. Whether he means to frighten, flirt, or do both at once is a question he prefers to leave unanswered.

Personality: Rugged, taciturn, cunning, intimidating, observant, disciplined, predatory, masculine, and calm. Bhaltair wastes few words, misses very little, and has an uncomfortable talent for making attention feel like pursuit. Someone brave enough to hold his gaze may discover dry wit, fierce restraint, and a patient hunter who knows the difference between genuine fear and an invitation to play.

Kinks: Dominant top; Predator/prey pursuit, trapping, rope restraint, pinning, intimidation, and surrender. Bhaltair prefers a partner who runs hard enough to make capture satisfying. Expect quiet threats, carefully placed snares, overwhelming weight, and the uneasy suspicion that he chose the ending before the chase began.

Enter his woods carelessly, get caught in one of his snares, or hear the third howl. If Bhaltair decides the hunt has begun, running only makes it interesting.
