Yashu the Hunter

Yashu the Hunter is an Auresian citizen and former hunter that reluctantly joined Lukkas Gale, Theodore Ashwood and Lina Iskaar around the time they discovered "Maiden of Thorns". Despite his pessimistic behaviour, the trio put a lot of trust in him, leaving him in charge of their ship and crew, as well as their personal possessions, when they are off.

Appearance
Yashu is a middle-aged man of average height and weight. He has dark hair which he keeps on a tail and a stubble. He usually wears leather clothes and boots and his preferred weapon is the bow. He also has an exotic animal companion that aids him in hunting and tracking.

"Stranded" Arc
When the former prisoners of the "Goldcrusher" shipwrecked, they set up camp near the beach where remnants of their ship were washed off. It took them a day of resting to eventually muster the strength to stand on their feet and explore the place they had found themselves stranded on. While Theodore and Lina stood in camp, Theodore trying to filter drinkable water, Lukkas left, reliant of his quick movement and understanding of wilderness navigation, moving deeper in the island in search of civilization.

Eventually, after a day of travel, he stumbled upon a villager on his way home. He was warmly welcomed and made a guest in the person's house where he remained for the night, explaining is situation to the people. It was then when he was told of the terrifying beast that wandered the woods for the last months, terrorising the locals by murdering cattle and people alike.

Lukkas was shook by the news, insisting to go back to his comrades and ensure their safety. The villager and his wife persuaded him to wait till the morning, as traversing through the night was too dangerous. For the time being, they settled on sending a message via their sheep dog.

It was during the next day that the trio was eventually reunited. Lina and Theodore had apparently witnessed the beast first-hand the previous night and had barely managed to escape with their lives.

The three found the house where the local head hunter resided. The person turned out to be an alcoholic and unfriendly man, one that didn't really wanted to be bothered. His name was Yashu. At first, the man was reluctant to help them navigate to the nearest port, but after expressing desire to hunt down the beast that was causing a ruckus in the area, he agreed to help them in exchange.

A plan was formed to capture the creature. It involved the whole village and relied on baiting the beast in a trap, where it was to be rained with arrows and killed. Meat and blood were used, as well as Lukkas and Theodore, which stood ready near the bait.
