Alistair Fawkes

Alistair Fawkes was born to a pair of Merchants in the capital of Vezenhold in 1187. When he was twelve years old, his parents were killed by Fadebeasts while on a business trip, and he was sent to Three Bridges to live with his Uncle. Obsessed with Fadebeasts, his anger has been tempered into genuine curiosity over the years, and he's spent his entire life attempting to study the strange otherworldly creatures. The study and curiosity regarding the animals have drawn the attention of the Hand of the Creator on more than one occasion - seeing it as potential heresy and questioning his motives.

In 1219, Alistair was returning to Three Bridges to visit his Uncle and Mentor only to learn that the ageing scientist had also been killed since their last meeting. After a period of mourning, he took up residence in his Uncles old home and continued his research - enlisting the aid of The Party on their arrival to capture a Fadehound. After a brief fight with a small pack, they succeeded.

Alistair is both skilled and intelligent, however, he can also be impulsive and reckless - overconfident in his own ability to keep himself or those around him safe. He keeps a ledger filled with detailed information on every Fadebeast he's been able to encounter as well as information gleaned through interviews with other hunters or survivors.

Alistair is never seen without his companion, Aluat. A strange flying dog of a species Alistair says is called a "Hainu," and is adamant that his companion is not a Fadebeast. The animal is friendly, excitable, and behaves exactly like any other dog. (The absolute goodest boy.)
