What if the most formidable champion was forged not in the spotlight, but in the shadows? The Aston Martin Vantage.

Scouts returning from afield have been returning with reports equally conflicting and strange: some say there’s a beast of a man running about with an axe for an arm, and that he is seen only by day, and only from a distance, as though he knows to evade pursuers. Others say that no, the large bipedal beast appears only at night and wields a stick, alongside all manner of crude tools that seem to suggest the intelligence to set small traps. In the name of research, authorities want the beast captured, preferably alive, but if it starts to become a nuisance… [ Grants Lance +1]

Kurthnaga glanced over the scout reports for the day, puzzled by their contents.  Reports from groups that had gone out on the same day for the same mission conflicted wildly. All of them were ridiculous though. Kurth had seen some weird beings in his day, but he highly doubted that there was a beorc running around with an axe as an arm. Nor did it seem likely that a beast would be able to wield the necessary tools to construct traps. All of the reports that had been set before him seemed equally outlandish. But there was one thing that he agreed with: the note that had been stuck on the reports by a senior member of the faculty. 

“We must capture this creature for research. Please try to keep it alive.” Something as odd as this should be studied and Kurth’s curiosity couldn’t help but get the better of him. Before that, however, he should probably get someone else’s opinion. 

“Excuse me! What do you think of this?” Against his own better judgement, he just asked the first person he saw once he stepped foot outside of the classroom. The hand that held the report out trembled slightly, as he was still the slightest bit shy interacting with beorcs, given he still didn’t have much experience with them outside of the Greil Mercenaries.
