The headless mercenary

 

In recent history the dullahan has made quite a name

 

for themselves as the mercenary headless horsemen.

 

When the dullahan detaches his head he doesn't speak

 

except to shout out the name of the one the dullahan

 

came to kill. A dullahan always carries his head with

 

him although it isn't necessarily attached to his body,

 

a favored trick is to hide it in a saddle bag, The head

 

when detached has small black eyes that dart around

 

constantly, the mouth is always stretched wide in a

 

hideous grin that reaches to both sides of the head.

 

 

 

The dullahan does not group together, instead they prefer a

 

solitary nomads wanderers life. Although dullahan has

 

been known to work together sometimes if the reward

 

is high enough. Because of their fear for gold the

 

dullahan usually ask for gems or magical items as a

 

reward for their Mercenary work.

 

 

Dullahan Traits

Dullahan “There is no way to bar the road against a dullahan, all locks and gates open to them when they approach. They do not appreciate being watched while on their errands, throwing a basin of blood on those who dare to do so, or even lashing out the watchers' eyes with their whips. They are frightened of gold, and even a single gold pin can drive a dullahan away." - Unknown, Unknown
