he's half bearded vulture, half red fox, all cranky old man. He digs graves for a living and with all the death is a pretty busy guy. He's specist against dragons, dragon half breeds, and anyone who's a "pure bred" not a half breed like himself. Extremely antisocial and avoids people as best he can.
Most people find him horribly disgusting which doesn't bother him any, there's a lot of rumors about him snitching pieces off the bodies to eat which he'd never do if he got paid to bury them, not saying he doesn't snitch a piece here and there on the free burials though. He mostly eats on animal kills in the forest sense there's usually plenty of carrion to scavenge on.
He can safety go around without much worry of being attacked by wild animals sense he smells like what he eats.
