Okay, I haven't named him yet, but he comes from a clan that has produced many Arbitrators over the centuries. Since Bad-Bloods are probably rare, he is also a hunter of course. The Arbitrator is sent by a ruling council, either on a planetary scale or maybe by the clan that the Bad-Blood belongs to. It would depend on the severity of the Bad-Blood's crimes. For instance, if he killed Preds from different clans, then it would be a matter for the council of the clan worlds in the region of space where the Bad-Blood operates. The Arbitrators are chosen for their strength, ferocity, intelligence, and above all, experience and total obedience to Pred laws and customs. I feel that Wolf might have also been an Arbitrator at one time. He is the ultimate Hunter and takes the crimes of the Bad-blood as a personal insult against his society and customs. He is a zealot in his absolute focus on finding and eliminating the Bad-Blood at all costs. He is free to use any means at his disposal to accomplish the mission, but he must bring the Bad-Blood's head back to the ruling council as absolute proof. The chance for an honorable death is not extended to Bad-Bloods. The council maintains a "Hall of Disgrace" if you will, where Bad-Blood heads are preserved with the flesh intact as a warning to young Preds of what happens to them if they choose the dishonored path. ( Sort of like the Head Museum in FUTURAMA!) Each display is complete with a list of the particular Bad-Blood's crimes as well as which Arbitrator took his head. I want to show this particular Arbitrator on several different missions from his youth to his final mission, but it may not be in any particular order. I also want to show him in his own trophy room and on Hunts. I still have a lot of research to do, and I've lost my Pred novels except AVP: Prey, so I have some digging to do. I'll put more on here when I have time. Ciao everyone.
