"Innistrad is not big enough for you to hide from me."
Arnulf, in his younger days, was a first son like any other growing up in Lambholt. Trusting in the protection of Avacyn, being raised up by his parents to manage the farm, and taking pride in his budding seemingly natural talent with a bow in his free time. It has been a long time since then, and he has become a grimly aspected man of dark humors and vile secrets. A monster hunter who won't be found within the cathedrals of Thraben among the noble Gavony Riders, but beneath the twisted branches of Ulvenwald, winding through the muck of the Farbog, and even diving beneath the waves of Nephalia.
His first call to action was when his elder sister was given the curse, becoming a werewolf. She was one of the ones who hid their nature in fear, answering the call of the wild and leaving to join the packs. At first Arnulf sought vengeance, but even though through luck or talent, he slew many werewolves, he eventually realized it would not bring his sister peace. Far from it, it only brought the werewolves to attack Lambholt more in a vicious cycle. He had to do something else, perhaps find a cure. But if even Avacyn could not manage that, who could?
Seeking the secrets of the darkness, Arnulf learned the ways of stalking a new prey. He joined the ranks of Vampire Hunters, not only to kill the fiends, but also to seek to learn their secrets. Masters of blood, death, and the night, perhaps their knowledge could be turned to a worthy cause. Alas, even for his study of the arcane in the libraries of slain vampires, he could only glean so much.
Next he sought the secrets set deeper than any man could find. Perhaps between the tentacles of the kraken, answers could be hidden in the abyss. For in the remote corners of Kessig, secret powers are found, unknown to the Church of Avacyn, and Arnulf twisted and honed his natural talent of his youth into a powerful veil of protection that would let him seek mysteries on the ocean floor. But silence was all that was found, for the drowned told few tales.
Next Arnulf sought to trade favors with the Cathars, perhaps that they had lore hidden away not preached in the church pews. Arnulf learned much of monster slaying with a practiced blade and a fighting style suited to groups, what Arnulf sought was not here either. A thousand more tools to slay a beast was not what he sought, even if handy for one who travels in dark times.
Now Arnulf walks his own path, practicing his own path of mystic martial arts, time and elements bending to his will. He hopes that in time, perhaps he can find a way to reverse it's flow and break the curse.
Arnulf technically has a family home he could return to, if they are still there, but he has not returned in decades, and they could be dead for all he knows. Perhaps part of him is afraid to return and find out. Without his purpose, what would drive him, and what would become of all his years?
