" You should be honored to bleed so that the Flayed Ones may live."
Strygwyr the Bloodseeker, Hound of the Flayed Twins, is a ritually sanctioned hunter sent down from the mist-shrouded peaks of Xhacatocatl in search of blood. The Flayed Ones require oceans of blood to keep them satiated and placated, and if the priests of the high plateaus do not appease them, their mountain empire will be depopulated. Strygwyr then goes in search of carnage. The vital energy of any blood he lets flow to the Twins immediately via the sacred markings on his weapons and armor. He has come to embody the energy of a vicious hound over the years, and in battle he is as savage as a jackal. It is said that beneath the Bloodseeker's Mask, in the rush of bloody quenching, you can sometimes see the features of the Flayers taking direct possession of their Hound.
