    B'auw is a towering gnoll – standing seven feet tall – with thick, powerful limbs on his rangy build. His fur is a mottled red and black, decorated with scars, burns, and a jarring array of fetishes and trophies. His left eye is marred and nearly black, though still functioning. He moves with the feral athleticism of a hunter, seemingly unfettered by his battle-scarred, red-painted breastplate. The weapons he wears are that of his nomadic, savanna people…. the handle of a wickedly curved blade peeks out over his right shoulder, one end of a heavily curved bow over the other. A similarly wicked-looking blade rests in a spring-loaded sheath on his left wrist.
    .
    And behind him stands his true pride. A black and yellow maned dire hyena named Arau. At over 900 pounds, six feet at the shoulder and exceeding twelve feet in length, Arau is bigger than most horses and just as fast. Her predatory movements seem ever in sync with her rider's… a battle-born hunting pack of two..

Personality, Role & Simple Story:
Personality
B'auw is naturally stubborn, persistent, and more than a little arrogant in his physical abilities. He's a hunter by nature, recognizing the value in patience in many circumstances. Though at the same time, he'd often rather meet and destroy a problem or enemy head-on. His humor (what there is of it) can be cutting and sarcastic. He'd prefer social interactions to be straight-forward and understandable, having little patience or understanding for subtlety or manipulation.

Role & Simple Story
B'auw is a Rash'ta'An for his people. While the simplest and most literal translation of this title is hunter, there is far more to the title than that. Rash'ta'An – often called Spirit Hunters or Demon Hunters – are a specific caste of warrior-hunters of the gnoll Packs that range their sun-baked savannas and flat-lands. And while every gnoll is subject to the rigid hierarchies of one Pack or another, the Rash'ta'An are simultaneously of all Packs and none.

The customs surrounding the Rash'ta'An are as complex and convoluted as the rest of the un-written rules of gnoll culture. The mystical signs and portents that dominate gnoll decisions weigh especially heavy on Rash'ta'An. And while all gnoll packs maintain varying numbers of dire hyenas as mounts, defenders, and companions, the connection of a Rash'ta'An and his companion are far more intimate and powerful.

In the end, each Rash'ta'An is unshackled form the normal rules that govern gnoll packs, they are chained by a responsibility to protect all gnolls from their hot homeland. From threats ranging from the incursions of the uncountable weaklings from other 'civilized' lands to the terrifying demon nightmares that range their homeland in search of prey.

Hunter. Outcast. Defender.

And it's for all of these reasons that B'auw now seeks those from the Weaklands who would fight back against this Order. This Order came – like a mighty, unstoppable, ravaging beast – suddenly into their ranges and killed gnoll warrior and pup alike. And B'auw heard the call on the wind. The yips and cries of the broken and fallen mixed with the war-cries of those still standing.

And as always, B'auw answered the call in the way of the Rash'ta'An… not as a pack leader or pack-runner, but as an outcast. He seeks those willing to pay whatever price to repay pain for pain to the Order.
