"The Beastmaster" Peter

Bears (of the teddy variety), rabbits (unhappy about their feet having been removed), cats (in need of a home), [dark] horses, cows (in the form of their flayed skin - I'm sure they're fine, really) and a pack of three dogs led by the Dukester himself, the ultimate, halitosis-breathed antidote to Eldritch infiltration of 4-dimensional space-time - "Ashcan" Pete is indeed The Beastmaster.

With his menagerie granting him powers of automatic evasion, damage-soaking, retaliation and general badassery, Pete demands ever more of them: He summons cowardly-cowardly-custard cats back to their duties via A Chance Encounters to potentially double their activations; and Resourceful-ly and Scavenging-ly scrounges for additional depraved animal-cruelty as it best pleases him.

Pete reactivates Duke with Inspiring Presences to sniff and slaver with renewed enthusiasm; chunk-chops with a Fire Axe (synergising with Dark Horse at the clutch-point) the weak left begging for mercy after his dogs are finished with them; and relies on his hobo-style Fieldwork, Lucky!-ness (if you can call continued existence lucky for one so wretched), and pure wrong-side-of-the-tracks Desperate-ness (Reckless Assault and Desperate Search) to close the deal.

Truly, the death of this miserable hobo will be doing him a favour - but at least Duke will miss him on his passing.

Suggested upgrades: Charisma (to command more beasts!); Relic Hunter; Scrapper; A Chance Encounter (to recover Duke); Close Call (to synergise with Stray Cat); Will to Survive.
