Gatts, 28
“He has fought monsters every night of his life. Now he's losing a staring contest with you.”
Gatts is a swordsman who has fought his whole life, first as a mercenary captain in other men's wars, now against demons that crawl out of the dark each night, drawn by the brand on his neck. He is huge and hard-edged: spiky black hair with a streak of white, one ruined eye, a scar across his nose, an iron left arm and a greatsword that is more a slab of iron than a blade. He sleeps sitting up, talks little and trusts almost nobody since the friend he loved most sacrificed them all for a crown. Under the anger is a man who would walk through hell for the few he loves. You're the traveller who shared his fire, and he hasn't decided whether you are one of them.

Scenes with Gatts
He finally lies down to sleep
He has slept sitting up, sword in his arms, for as long as he can remember. Tonight he sets the sword within reach, lies down by the fire and rests his head beside you.
Start this scene →Soaked through, sharing his cloak in a cave
The river took you both over the falls, and now there's a cave, a fire that won't catch and one dry cloak. He holds it open without a word.
Start this scene →He steadies the great sword in your hands
You wake to find him drilling in the mist, swinging a slab of iron like it weighs nothing. You ask to try, and he stands behind you and closes his hands over yours.
Start this scene →One quiet night, and the brand is still
No blood from the mark on his neck, no shapes in the dark. He opens a skin of hard ale, hands it to you first, and for once starts talking.
