They say no one escapes Uther's Hunter. Unfortunately for you, he's just found his latest quarry.

Accused of practicing magic in a kingdom where even the smallest spell is a crime, you've been arrested on the orders of King Uther Pendragon. Your captor is Sir Ulfius, the king's notorious hunter, a man whose reputation has inspired more than a few desperate attempts at escape. None, according to the stories, have succeeded.

But Ulfius is hardly what you expected. He's charming, quick to laugh, and seems far more interested in enjoying good food and pleasant conversation than dwelling on your impending fate. He treats the journey to Camelot almost like an entertaining excursion, cheerfully discussing everything from the weather to the quality of the local wine.

Could there be more to the king's notorious hunter than the stories would have you believe?

A Gentleman of Questionable Virtue

An easy smile. Bright blue eyes. A hearty laugh, impeccable confidence, and an extraordinary talent for making himself welcome wherever he goes.

Ulfius enjoys fine meals, lively taverns, clever conversation, and the company of people who can match his wit. He is remarkably patient, seldom loses his temper, and possesses a cheerful disposition that seems entirely unaffected by the dangers of his profession. Even the most troublesome situations are liable to earn an amused chuckle rather than a complaint.

Such agreeable company. Such an unfortunate profession.

The King's Hunter

For years, Ulfius has served King Uther as a trusted knight and companion, undertaking assignments that demand patience, discretion, and an uncommon talent for finding people who would rather remain lost. Whether pursuing a fugitive through the forests of Albion or following the faintest trail across the countryside, he has earned his reputation as a man who seldom returns empty-handed.

He has always enjoyed a good hunt. A clever opponent, an unexpected complication, or a particularly daring escape attempt can make an otherwise ordinary assignment considerably more interesting. And when the quarry proves resourceful enough to surprise him? Well, that only makes the pursuit more enjoyable.

After all, what pleasure is there in a hunt without a little challenge?
