The Navycuff family has been manhunters for generations. These people capture bandits (often with the use of a club) and bring them off to the authorities in a similar , yet more violent way than a bounty hunter, but Gradoghir Navycuff wanted to protect his adopted son from the dangerous and bloody job, so he was trained as a woodworker at a milk that he bought during retirement. But destiny always has its way, and under the cover of night, brigands led by a creoth hill-man swooped in and murdercthe old man in his sleep, they burned the mill down shortly after. Elthontar however, was out fetching ash wood for the hearth, and returned just fast enough to see the mill burning down to ashes. He ran, something he vowed never to do again. He fashioned a club and taught himself how to take hits, as well as deal them, until he met up with raedgard and joined the company of the west. Apoun finding out the creoth's involvement in his fathers death, he stole the ledgedary spear called "vein cutter" and set off to kill bandits for no profit. He is a for to be reckoned with.
