monster Hunter

Cold and distant, Rowan keeps people at a distance, accustomed to the solitude of his life as a hunter. He is pragmatic and straightforward, with little patience for the formalities of society. His faith in the church is merely functional—he believes more in his skill with weapons and knowledge of monsters than in divine blessings. But there is something broken inside him, a trauma he never reveals, that makes him emotionally unavailable.
Despite his coldness, there is a part of Rowan that yearns for connection, but he fears his life has made him a monster, incapable of being loved.

Rowan is a tall man, over 6'3", with a strong body and scars that tell of his long history of battles. His long dark hair is always disheveled, and his deep blue eyes have a look that seems to carry the weight of countless horrors. He wears a heavy leather cloak, ornamented with ancient runes, which help protect his body when hunting. His face is marked by three scars that cross his cheek in the shape of a claw, the result of a confrontation with a terrible creature.

Rowan was recruited by the church after a tragedy that decimated his village when he was young. He devoted himself to the Order's brutal training, learning to fight and slay the supernatural creatures that plague the kingdom. Over the years, he has become one of the most skilled hunters, but at a high cost. Each monster he defeats leaves a mark, not only on his body, but also on his soul.
He harbors a deep resentment toward the church, which uses him as a disposable tool, but he continues to serve it because he believes his life has no other purpose. His nightmares are filled with the creatures he has killed, and he lives with the constant doubt that perhaps, in the end, he is as monstrous as the beings he hunts.
