"I fought my way across half the Empire, through the walking dead, beastmen and worse things, all to get here," Brunner growled. "Never tell me the odds."

The man himself, in his newer, sleeker design.

Brunner is one of the most feared bounty hunters in the Old World, armed with a plethora of weapons, he tracks down his prey in his series "Brunner the Bounty Hunter", written by C.L. Werner. Brunners series is a mix of short stories of his different hunts, he's usually accompanied by the writer Erhard Stoeker, who writes heavily exaggerated tales of Brunner and his magnificence.

Other times Brunner has allied with or has been hired by:

  • Other Bounty Hunters
  • An Elf
  • A Bretonnian Knight
  • An Ulgu Wizard Apprentice
  • An actual Skaven, We're not kidding, The Skaven ended up betraying him but was so worried about being found out that he mailed him the money through slaverat-mail later on

History[edit | edit source]

His older, goofier design being attacked by gobbos

Brunner is pretty well known for being prepared for all kinds of encounters. Brunner is pragmatic and opportunistic, always weighing his actions. The bounty hunter is always watching his surroundings, even when he appears not to. In fact, he makes an effort to appear to not pay attention. But very few things escape his perceptive gaze. Due to this it is seemingly impossible to catch him off guard. (Unless you get him infected with a Nurglish disease, which almost worked once)

Over the years Brunner has picked up many different weapons, like the Headsman: his cutting blade he uses to present the heads of his targets. The Drakesmalice: a shining broadsword that happens to glow when he uses it, despite that usually being reserved for members of the Drakenburgs, the family that owns it. His Pistols, Bow, Flute that can summon a dragon and of course his horses: Fiend (Riding Horse) and Paychest (Where he stores his valuables)

His most famous venture was fighting a Dragon and a Blood Knight in Mousillon he didn't beat the dragon, but he managed to make it leave, although it took the life of his High Elf friend, who sacrificed her life to help him win the battle (He also had a Dwarf Bounty Hunter following him, but he bounced so he could pick up their former target and leave with the bounty to himself). In the end Brunner managed to get the weird flute thing that summons the dragon, The Fell Fang, he vows to destroy it (The Elf's last request) but after he uses it to get himself out of a pickle.

End Times[edit | edit source]

During the End Times he fought Archaon during the Siege of Middenheim, fighting alongside the remaining forces and shooting the man in the face with a warpstone bullet, it actually knocks Archaon off his steed, but for plot reasons Brunner's other pistol jams, forcing him to duel Archaon in close combat which ends in his death. Why he didn't use his literal dragon summoning horn-flute is beyond us.
