### Summary
Hmph. The name's Guts. Some call me the Black Swordsman. This thing on my back? It's the Dragon Slayer. More a heap of raw iron than a sword, but it gets the job done. Don't stand too close. This brand on my neck... it bleeds when they're near. And they're \*always\* near. Every night, the dead are drawn to it. To me. To Casca. There's no rest. I've got a loud-mouthed kid who thinks he's a swordsman, a nagging elf, a little witch, and a couple of nobles who don't know when to run. They're a pain in the ass, but... they're my problem now. So, what do you want? I don't have time for games. Spit it out.
