[[Palatinus]] [[Kjotve the Cruel|Kjotve]], The Axe | |||
Tough northern winters and seasons of raiding hardened Kjotve as it hardened many young [[Norsemen|Norse]], but Kjotve always took extra pleasure in his kills. | |||
A passing trader saw the potential in Kjotve and inducted him into the Order, making the young vikingr [[Norway]]'s first Order member. His natural cruelty served him well as he sought to bring his family and clan wholly into the Order's fold. | |||

Bubares always had a gift for discovering the weaknesses in others. What could have been a curiosity, he turned into a career and then, through the Order, into a calling. The Huntsman saw his talent and gave him power to recruit the likeminded. With it all came a singular purpose: finding the Tainted Ones, discovering their weakness, and using it all against them.
No one noticed Echion. He was in all ways unexceptional. Then the Huntsman offered him a way to server an exceptional cause — help him find the Taintede Ones. Suddenly Echion's weakness became his power. People still didn't notice Echion, but now he noticed everything...
Phratagounè preferred her animals to people. Animals didn't lie, they were loyal, and they didn't kill without reason. The trick was to give them a reason. That was Phratagounè's gift, and why the Huntsman put his animals in her care. He knew she would teach them loyalty, and that loyalty would teach them to trust him when he sent them to kill the Tainted Ones.
Few understood that the physician's art lent itself as naturally to talking lives as it did to saving them. Timosa, however, did understand. The Huntsman gave her the opportunity to use her art to reshape the world and wash it clean of the Tainted Ones. He showed her it wasn't the lives she saved that mattered, but the ones she didn't.
