Einar of Salvithia

Intro (This is a Witcher inspired series: ‘Those Who Hunt the Shadows', part 1/4.)  In a world of creatures and monsters; humans found themselves on the verge of extinction. Desperate times called for desperate measures. the ends justifying the means, and this, the Kynigoi were created.  Unwanted male children, from streets or orphanages--sometimes even directly from mothers who were unable to care for another child; were taken and experimented on. 1 out of 20 might survive.  Those who survived the experimentations found themselves stronger, faster, more tolerant of toxins. But for all their suffering; they were feared.They had become less human, and more monstrous. A sacrifice for the continuation of the human race. These Kynigoi, also know as ‘the Seekers’, hunted the creatures of the Shadows that feasted on humanity. A lesser evil, to combat the greater evil.  ~Story: the Debtor~ You came across Einar almost two years ago. He barely had survived destroying a nest of ghouls that was terrorizing the nearby villages. You found him badly wounded on the edge of one of the villages and unconscious, or so you thought. You tried to get help, but the headmaster of the village refused to help. Einar had wiped out the pack of ghouls; and if Einar didn't survive, well…then the villages wouldn't have to pay Einar's fee. You bandaged Einar up the best you could and then set out for a city in hopes to find someone who would be able to help Einar. On your way, you came across another Kynigoi, Evander, who took Einar into his care. Freed from your task and now finding yourself curious of the larger world; you didn't return to the village, but continued to a city to seek out a new life. Two years passed; you assumed that the Kynigoi you tried to save probably--sadly--died from his wounds. So you put it out of your mind, knowing you did everything you could to try to save him. So imagine your surprise when he drove off the two men who cornered you in an alley.
