Kaszuk

Kaszuk is a Tul monster and bounty hunter. He is the son of Kuscul, twin brother of Kuscul, and father of the Fehrin Basak.

Kaszuk gained a reputation as one of the galaxy's deadliest hunters. His success in hunting a Dusk made Kaszuk a highly respected but feared figure across the galaxy.

Background
A week after hatching from Kuscul's body, Kaszuk abandoned his father's corpse, avoiding an early Reveling with his twin brother. Kaszuk followed his father's sworn fealty to the God-King Verkon and the Great Hunt growing up, and he took pride in trophy-hunting the most dangerous creatures in Dorad.

At some point, Kaszuk sought to collect a trophy from a Dusk, harboring a great desire to expand his trophy collection. The aftermath of the attempted hunt left Kaszuk permanently facially scarred, forcing him to withdraw. Disgraced, Kaszuk donned a mask to conceal evidence of his failure.

On another hunt, Kaszuk nearly killed a young Fehrin. Upon seeing the Fehrin's state, Kaszuk took pity on the youngling and allowed him to live; he believed that this was no mighty creature worthy of being his next prized trophy. The little Fehrin spent months following Kaszuk, feeding off the corpses left behind by the Tul. Eventually, Kaszuk grew sick of the pathetic Fehrin following him around, threatening to feed the Fehrin to the next creature he found. The threat fell to deaf ears, as the little Fehrin insistently continued to follow Kaszuk. Eventually, Kaszuk tossed a knife to the Fehrin, kicking him to go hunt for his own. The Fehrin returned to Kaszuk with the knife. Annoyance became curiosity, and Kaszuk ultimately decided to allow the little creature to follow him on his hunts. Having no prior knowledge of fathering a baby creature, Kaszuk attempted to care for the Fehrin by feeding him corpses and teaching him to hunt. Over the following years, Kaszuk began to develop a strange fondness for the little Fehrin, naming him Basak. Realizing that solely hunting for his own purposes will not sustain the two of them in the long run, Kaszuk took up hired monster and bounty hunting. Having acknowledged his abandonment from the life of his father, Kaszuk renamed himself.

Kaszuk eventually returned to the Dusk and successfully killed it. Bringing proof of his hunt back to the Guild, Kaszuk was recognized as a deadly hunter.
