Chapter #3

The bounty hunter and his steed.

    by: Unknown
With Bitemarsh’s history of conflict and corruption comes the inevitable influx of criminal life, the unsteady sovereign providing the perfect breeding grounds for the lowlifes whose idea of an honest living preludes thievery, bribery, murder and pillaging.

...and with that comes a blooming business for those who hunt fugitives for a living.

Landgrave and Otho


With the countrysides of Bitemarsh as his backyard, the human Landgrave scours the nation as a freelancing bounty hunter with his gryphon companion Otho, his lifelong friend, steed, and oftentimes bed. Short and scrawny, Landgrave has a perfect domicile for enabling the most paranoid fugitives to let him get close, unsuspecting until the very moment he has a knife to their neck and the shackles around their wrists. Having seen it all, he has a line for it all, developing quite the dry wit in his years of scouring, but his tongue is tailed by a sharp, cunning mind and a knack for thinking his way out of tight spots.

It takes two halves to make a whole, however. Since hatching and childhood have Otho and Landgrave been partners in crime , the gryphon having not spent an hour of his entire life refraining from absolute loyalty to his owner...but while Landgrave remains his top priority in life, food comes a decimal close. Mealtimes don’t exist for him: an entire day to him is an unending feasting session with breaks thrown in here and there; gryphons in their adult ages tower even the tallest of men, but Otho was their size by childhood, and him and his appetite would only grow as his stomach expanded to contain more immense meals.

While a towering whale measuring fifteen feet at the whithers, carrying a whopping fifty tons in fat, his staggeringly round body carries the strength to rival a thundering rockslide. Also, despite his lack of an ability to speak, Otho is as intelligent as a human, and is capable of understanding their speech.
