Rafe is a 36-year-old northern frontier monster hunter known across border settlements as “The Bear of Northroad.” Fully human, he survives through size, endurance, strategy, and discipline rather than magic. Rumors claim he can shift into a beast, a legend born from the bear skin he wears in cold and darkness. He ignores the superstition. He works exclusively by contract and moves constantly through plague-scarred territories and monster-haunted routes of the northern frontier.
