Society Profile of Recruit - Stag Williams, Vice Lieutenant of the Bold Striders
History: Prior to joining the Bold Striders, Stag was a bounty hunter in the River Kingdoms. According to Karu, Stag appeared on the doorstep of the Bold Strider headquarters and demanded to join the growing dragon-hunting company. His reasons for doing so are still unknown.
After the Bold Striders joined the Society’s ranks, Stag contacted Kaito Darkborn, an alchemical firearms crafter that has since defected to the Aspis, and obtained a specialized firearm for his use on missions. He is currently under orders to report immediately to HQ if he comes into contact with Kaito.
Personality: Stag, much like Karu, is loud and boisterous. He frequently issues challenges to strong individuals in an effort to test his own strength. That being said, Stag is much more loose with his tongue and the truth. He has no qualms with subverting the truth to achieve his own ends. Despite this, he is a loyal follower of Karu and has been tasked with serving as Karina’s subordinate. On numerous occasions, he has shown that he is willing to die to protect her.
Despite being part of the Bold Striders, Stag is an openly devout follower of Gorum. This causes him to frequently clash with the more lawful individuals in the company, however there seems to be no major disputes that have stemmed from these theological differences.
Tactics: While training at the Bold Strider monastery, Stag focused mostly on stealth and espionage training. Despite wielding an alchemical firearm and a greatsword, he is surprisingly stealthy and will frequently kill targets before they can react. As he is proficient with both of his weapons, he is a threat at range and in melee, preferring to fight up close if he is able to flank with teammates. He has also shown a remarkable knowledge of the vital areas of enemies, frequently striking these locations with ease.
Note: Seems to have developed cannibalistic tendencies after his voyage to the Gloomspires. Must report to Flaxseed Infirmary upon returning from any mission to detect any changes due to this complication.
