Gutter
Gutiero "Gutter" Bennaro
Gutiero Bennaro, affectionately known by his comrades as "Gutter", has been a battlefield surgeon for over 10 years. Gutter, at 29 years old, is an elder in a profession where few see their 25th nameday. He has traveled with three different mercenary companies: the Black Tigers, Copper Sun, and the recently decimated Arms of Brilliance. These mercenary companies fight mostly against the pagan kings, as well as doing the work that the Virtues disdain - mopping up the remnants of heretical movements, keeping the small folk in check, and other sorts of violent yet mundane duties.
Gutter's last company, Arms of Brilliance, was routed by the Silverfist after charges of heresy and collusion with the pagans were issued. Gutter was one of the few members of the company to surive the battle. He limped his way back to Zenith, hoping to find work as a soldier or field-surgeon and to evade the notice of anyone who might recognize him. His dreams are still invaded by the dying screams of his brothers in the company. His daylight thoughts are spent preparing himself for the moment when he is discovered. Traveling to Zenith seems dangerous, yet what else can he do?
Gutter is tall and thin. He has dark eyes, copper skin and close cropped dark hair that is sparse at the temples. His martial equipment is good steel, though it is noticeably nicked and dented. His face shares a similar array of detractions. Gutter might have been handsome once, but the slow erosion of war has now reduced his face to a mere object of interest or catalyst for old stories.
