So, I have two requests I'd like to make:

1. A severely disturbed creature, barely recognizable as human, a lurker-in-thickets and haunter-of-woods. Creepy and unsettling in a blighted-forest sort of way. Extra points if he or she has one or more necrotically challenged animals nearby.

2. A mounted veteran, hard and stoic, weatherbeaten with an air of long travel about him. Ideally he'd have strong features and a dark beard, and I'd like there to be some ambiguity to him--shades of both grim warrior and high nobleman.

Thanks in advance, it's very much appreciated.
