A middle-aged bounty hunter, anxious to retire after one final job. He hopes to settle down somewhere and live a quiet life with his family, using the money from his final bounty: you. “One, you lock the target Two, you bait the line Three, you slowly spread the net And four, you catch the man You catch the man You catch the man I’m looking for this man to sell him to other men To sell him to other men at ten times the price at least” —Front 242, “Headhunter”

Useful Info

Harold the Weathered is a unique human bounty hunter who generates with several throwing nets and a decent weapon. He's usually weak in melee and, despite high HP, lacks any AC or resistances to speak of. Be aware that he does know some powerful Fire Magic, however.

Tips & Tricks

• Bolt of Fire can hurt if you lack fire resistance, especially if you're a mummy, but fortunately he doesn't cast it terribly often. Hide around a corner and lure him into melee. If his melee weapon is also dangerously branded, pull out your big guns or come back later when you've got the right resistances.
• Harold can't see invisible, so feel free to quaff a potion or cast a spell and then hack away.
