Vault Hunter Concept: Thorn, the Wayfarer
Name: Thorn
Alias: The Wayfarer
Gender: Male
Age: ???
Background: Legends tell of a inhuman wayfarer that stalks the lands of Pandora. Nobody really knows where he came from or what his purpose is, and they’re not exactly keen on seeking him out to ask. Stories have been told about how he unlocked the secret of immortality, learned to control fate with his own two hands, and even traveled to the underworld and came back with a demonic hellhound companion. Legend has it that he roams Pandora searching for a worthy opponent to remind him of his own mortality. Are these legends true? Does this “wayfarer” truly exist, or is it just an old wives tale spread to discourage bandits from straying too far from their camps at night? Nobody can say for certain, but one thing is for sure: At the heart of every legend lies a grain of truth.
