Laer Ballard

Laer Candace Ballard (a.k.a. The Coyote)

Role: Con-man
A con-artist, drug addict, and infamous bounty hunter working to be perceived as a hero, with none of the responsibility. Self-proclaimed leader of the Coyote, a gang of thieves that arrest the same criminals they make deals with. A bastard of a rock star persona, Laer desires to be the richest, most loved man in the city - once he squares enough cash away to convince the best surgeon/exorcist to remove the eldritch parasite from his skull. When his big plan to use a ransomed girl to pit two politicians against each other turns to shit and he ends up the Most Wanted man in Duvoch, Laer instead has to learn that real heroism is putting others before himself.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Laer is, in a word, ostentatious. In his mind he is the New Sheriff in Town, the Rockstar Everyone Wants to Be, the Cleverest Man Alive. Above all else, Laer cares about his appearance. He keeps a well-trimmed 10 o’clock shadow of a beard, always has a change of clothes handy, and prefers clothes that make him look bigger than the wiry skin-and-bones he is. One detail you can count on is that Laer always, always has some sort of headband, bandanna, hat, or other cover over where the thing slumbers on the top of his forehead.
