aliases used when tracking criminals.

Standing at 5'10 there are a fair few people he dwarves, and another few that dwarf him. Due to fair payment for his work, Rune can afford to dress well for someone of his age/class and always seems to wear a scarlet cape.

Armour of choice: Light, mostly leather based armour to maintain mobility however can afford to purchase heavier if needed.

Personality: A proud man who will stand up to what he believes is right, whether others stand with him or not. He has a very particular moral compass, and just assumes everyone else shares it, often becoming somewhat ignorant/bull-headed when they don't agree. Rune is calm and surprisingly quiet person considering what he does, able to seamlessly blend into the background.


[hider=History]
History: How did they get invited into the Hunters Guild? (ie how the King or someone close to the King knows of their abilities/reputation)
Born to a family of minor nobleman, he grew up with his mother and 2 older sisters after losing his father in the expansion of the Empire. As he aged a love of hunting was discovered and by 15 he would be leading the hunt by following tracks unwittingly lain by the creatures. Soon, he had turned this into his skill, using it to gain money of his own instead of just squandering his families small fortune.

Now something of a mercenary, Rune is a skilled tracker, being able to tail a person or animal for weeks if it was needed. Oft he was hired by locals as a private investigator but would occasionally getting hired by the guard themselves to bring criminals to justice. Eventually however, he started hunting not just criminals but creatures of a supernatural nature also, especially when the price was right.

While he may not have been the best person to combat, he can find them no matter they hide, which becomes a slight problem when an old vampire decides to hunt you down for sport. Unsuprisingly, Rune found it hard to escape a creature that was both stronger and faster than him, he was found and captured by this monster that brought him back to it's lair of villainy. For days, maybe even weeks he was stuck as nothing more than the seductress plaything until she got bored... and hungry. Tossed aside and left to die, a fire burned on in Runes heart until his heart stopped pounding in his chest, until he was resurrected and walkes the earth as one of the undead.

He returmed home, much to the jubilation of his family who believed him dead, but this celebration was short lived however as he knew he couldn't deal with the questions of his agelessness and the risk of endangering his family. Faking his death in a freak fire, Rune fled for the opposite side of Empire where few would recognise him. Every few years though he returns to catch a glimpse of his family, even attending his mothers funeral from afar, and each time it brings tears to his eyea. He continued his work, under various names before adopting his current name. 'Rune', meaning secret, symbolic to him for hiding the darkness within. Often he would feed on criminals fleeing execution, sating both himself and lady Justice.

An invitation was quietly slipped to him one night in a tavern full of drunkards, where he seemed to be the only sober one of them all. Whether the Guild knew what he was, or whether they even cared was unknown to him, but Rune knows that there are some who are part of it who will hold it against him if they knew.
