Markham Dagwood

Markham Dagwood was a resident of Ravenmoor and appeared to be a member of the Cult of Ghlaunder. Ordinarily an outrider and hunter responsible for acquiring game for the village's monthly feasts and driving away monsters and bandits, Markham's reputation in town became quite poor after Doriv Carmiscu and Robb Bartley spread rumors that deflected Bartley's own crimes onto him, and as such he became a bit of a recluse.

He was in fact more loyal to Beliandral than the Cult itself, and seemed to be very knowledgeable regarding Beliandral's movements. He was planning to travel to the town of Carrion Hill in faraway Ustalav to join her in her operations there, and was aware that the Cult of Ghlaunder had lost Beliandral's favor. His unusual powers may have been gifts from the Dancer in the Dark.

He was defeated in battle at his home, and after being interrogated, took his own life by throwing himself onto his own scythe, seemingly under compulsion to do so.

His animal companion was an enormous boar named Dahaka, who seemed to have been corrupted by some sort of magical experimentation. Exposing one's loyal companion to such dark, corrupting magicks is considered in most circles to be a horrific betrayal of the sacred bond between a hunter and his companion, and perhaps an indicator of just how twisted Markham had become due to Beliandral's influence.
