Background
A veteran burrow boxer, the diminutive lefty made a name for himself in the Glantri City underground with his willingness to fight not only Halflings, but Human challengers as well. Coutelain insists he was cheated of a victor's purse by Rusty Buckles's blessing of an opponent. And cheated of vengeance by Rusty's ill-timed death. Cut Coutelain has had it with Rusty Buckles.
For Cut, combat is a professional endeavor. He vigilantly trains for his next bout, setting up an assortment of dummies, quintains and heavy bags at the first opportunity in a new locale. Cut has two steeds that he refers to as "war ponies": Foudre, who is really just a riding pony, and Tonnere, who was actually trained for combat in the Shires.
Cut is funding the long process of building a fortified underground home under a hill near Malinbois; construction of "The Hole" is being planned and executed by Bendra Zakunden. In the meantime, Cut is living in an above-ground home near the site with Gildor and Blondie. This building is a 30'x30', two-story structure with a cellar and attic, reinforced doors and stone fixtures. It has an adjacent wooden stable with 8 large stalls, though two of them are occupied permanently by Tonnere and Foudre.
