[b][color=CD5C5C]Appearance Description:[/color][/b] Gauthier is a stocky, broad-shouldered bear of a man. What he lacks in height he makes up for in girth - a heavyset frame and slabs of muscle, tempered by years in the field. His face is lined by age, head balding and chin hidden beneath a thick nest of hair, but his eyes shine with purpose, belying the wrinkles at their corners. Sausage-like fingers and rough, calloused hands are the product of a life on the road, at home wrapped around the hilt of a sword or grip of a pistol. Though aged, Gauthier carries himself with the gait and energy of a man half his years. His reflexes are still sharp - though maybe not quite as fast as they used to be. [b][color=CD5C5C]Day To Day Attire:[/color][/b] A plumed, wide-brimmed hat and greatcoat give Gauthier a distinctive appearance, adding to the bulk of his frame. Affixed to his garments are prayers and litanies to ward away the fog’s corruption. He wears a pair of thick boots and leather gloves on the trail and is protected by an ornate chestplate - a gift from House Lacroix for his service to Vicelles. While the craftsmanship is still impressive, its luster is no longer as bright and it bears the marks of battle. [b][color=CD5C5C]Strengths:[/color][/b] [list][*]Resourceful [*] [*][/list] [b][color=CD5C5C]Weaknesses:[/color][/b] [list][*]Age - Gauthier is no longer as strong, as fast or as nimble as he once was. For his age, he’s quite spry, but his prime is well behind him and he is loathe to admit it.

His father died fighting in a border conflict when he was young, and he spent much of his youth without a strong masculine figure. As a result, he fell in with an unscrupulous crowd, eventually earning pocket change as a runner for a gang of outlaws. First, he ran messages. Then, he started running illicit goods, weapons, sums of money and other shady packages. He progressed through the hierarchy as he aged and earned the trust of his handlers, becoming street-level muscle and then something of a lieutenant for the local boss. He had blood on his hands by age fifteen, and into his twenties, he was notorious within his locale as a tracker, assassin and a sharpshooter. Gauthier’s life as a career criminal changed when his gang acted on bad intelligence and assaulted a caravan under the protection of a high-ranking family. Most were killed in the ensuing skirmish, but Gauthier surrendered, having suffered a broken bone. He rotted away in the dungeons for a time, subsisting on dirty water and table scraps, before a man dressed in a high-collared coat and wide-brimmed hat opened the door to his cell and asked to speak with him. The visitor introduced himself as “Alain Dupont, Royal Witch Hunter.” Gauthier’s notoriety had not escaped the witch hunters who, as Alain explained, were looking for someone of his skillset. Gauthier could be a free man again - under the stipulation he repent his sins, put his past life behind him, and join the witch hunters. With nothing else to look forward to, except the moldy walls of his prison, Gauthier agreed. He’d had plenty of time to dwell on his crimes until now, and had already started to grow penitent in custody. If he could absolve himself by serving the witch hunters, so be it. Under Alain’s tutelage, Gauthier became an apprentice witch hunter and learned the fundamentals of the profession. He refined his martial skills, became versed in esoteric knowledge to combat and identify magic and monsters of the fog, and underwent regular spiritual discipline to purify his mind against corruption and vice. He was also made to swear fealty to the throne and the Lacroix line. For the first year, he shadowed Alain on his travels, assisting and learning from the veteran hunter. Gauthier found his new trade to be a natural fit, and came to appreciate the work he did - now he was tracking, trapping and slaying monsters and deviants, rather than honest men of Vicelles. He was elevated from apprentice to a fully-fledged field agent at age 29, and could now operate independently, under the crown’s jurisdiction. Presently, he has spent nearly 23 years as a witch hunter in the field, a veteran in his own right. Repentant of his past and yearning only to leave the world in a better state than he found it, Gauthier has taken to working with the Order of Vigilance to find a cure for the blight that preys on Vicelles.
