  DEFINING FEATURES Reference One red eye, one white. He is completely blind on his right side. Broken wings; they are usually kept harnessed to prevent dragging. Skinned right forearm and partial muzzle. His fur was scalped during an interrogation. Nicked right ear. Alastor will swear he doesn't remember how that happened. Split upper and lower lip (courtesy of Anchali). Tribal, scarification tattoo of a hummingbird on his left pectoral. Sports a gold geode ring on his right thumb that matches the collar Colel wears. FAVORITE SAYINGS I'd rather take a beating than an order. (Some things never change.) Save the best, sell the rest. The closer the call, the better the story. I know where the land ends and the sea begins, that's all the direction a man needs. Our heading is the horizon, and every horizon thereafter. Pillager, plunderer, privateer. Pick another p-word. (Whenever someone dares to call him a pirate.) I've still got one good eye you know! (Usually when Colel is up to something she shouldn't be.) BODY LANGUAGE Perpetual sea legs. Alastor sways when he stands. Always keeps has his hands busy: rolling a coin, stuffing his pipe, petting Colel, etc. Has a tell; his ears flick and his tail twitches, much like a pissed off cat. Only permits Colel to stand on his right side (allowing her to run block and cover him.)

  THE HOARD "When the moon was new and the sun young of silver and gold the gods sung: in the green grass they silver spilled, and the white waters they with gold filled." -- J.R.R. Tolkien

  
  While upholding the ideal that adventure truly is its own reward, Alastor's world travels have gleaned actual riches beyond most people's wildest dreams. In an effort to keep his vessel as featherweight and streamlined as possible, what relics the batbear decides to keep for himself are rarely kept aboard his ship, but rather stored in a private, vaulted wing of his estate. Let there be no doubt: his collection is vast and the wealth accrued doing what he does best is immense. However! This is not to say that he would not part with even his most prized possessions (save perhaps one) for the right price. Consumed as he is with covetous greed, the treasure hunter is, first and foremost, a profiteer.
