Osprey

Osprey was an operative of the Mordish Birding Society. He was based in Pruzer. When Dan Irem stole notes on a magic ritual from The Professor, he was tasked to help bring it back. Osprey worked with The Curator, K.R., Skua, and Vella to stop the notes from falling into enemy hands. His job specifically was to represent the interests of the upper ranks of the Society. Osprey was his title but he went by Oz. During the mission, Osprey was captured by the Woman in the Suit. He was later saved by Sylvie, K.R., and Vella. He fled with the group to the mines outside the town. Osprey was too injured to fight in the battle. He was later fired by Emilio Kent for spilling secrets to the Woman in the Suit.

History
Osprey was involved with the Birding Society well before AeP 446. He was based in Pruzer. In the summer of AeP 446, he helped check the people who would be working with the Professor. This included doing surveillance on Dan Irem and his roommate. Osprey concluded they were not working for the Kaiser. However Dan Irem later turned out to be a thief and ran away with several of The Professor's notes.

In Mortus of AeP 446 he met with The Professor and four other people. They were The Curator, Skua, K.R., and Vella the Bear. The five of them were going to find Dan Irem and bring the notes back to the professor. Through the first day, Osprey made awkward conversation with the others. He was careful not to reveal too much about his role in the Society. When the group found the address of a restaurant they knew The Thief went to, Osprey was able to tell them it was a high class and somewhat famous place. When the Curator and Skua went in, he joined them and stopped the workers from bothering Skua as she searched one of the dead bodies. Oz then went with K.R. and Vella to a second address where they found another man working for Pellisberg. After Vella incapactiated him, Oz threatened to torture the man. That was enough to get him to talk.

In the morning Osprey showed up to meet the group with a stagecoach and horses. He took them, along with Sylvie and Terrance to the Procession of Peace. K.R. sat up front with him. At night he parked the coach and watched it. While the rest of the group explored the Procession he watched Terrance. Later the group took Terrance with them. As he was sitting on the coach, K.R. returned and told him they had been ambushed and needed to ride quickly to Miirshire. He unhitched the horses, took Skua’s goat, and rode with K.R. out of the procession.

Osprey went with the others to Miirshire. He took a locked box from the coach. When they reached the town he stabled his horse. The stable owner told the group about the Woman in the Suit. She had gone right to the lord's house. Oz volunteered to watch her. He arranged a meeting point at the earth temple with the rest of the group. When that meeting time came Osprey didn't make it. He had been captured by the Woman and her regiment of Mordish Regulars. He was beaten and brought to the town square where she ordered his execution. Just before it was carried out, Sylvie saved him with magic. She used a sea stone to call out the water from the well below the town. It erupted up cracking the stone and knocking over everyone including the executioner. In the resulting scrap, Osprey was dragged to safety by K.R. and Vella. His wounds were quickly looked at by Sylvie before the group ducked into an escape tunnel in the Lord’s Manor. He faded in and out of consciousness for the next few hours and was unable to help the Society and the miners fight the Mordish soldiers. After the battle he thanked the Curator for taking care of his mistakes. Osprey was then brought back to Pruzer and fired by Emilio Kent.

Appearance
Osprey was a man of average height. He had pale skin and neat black hair. Oz was skinny and athletic. He dressed in a well made black shirt, black pants, black boots and silver belt. It was a simple outfit but not out of style in Pruzer. He also carried at least one visible knife.

Relations
The exact person that Osprey worked for in the Society was Emilio Kent. The Curator asked him if he worked for The Professor and Osprey said that he and The Professor worked for the same person. After the ordeal with the notes, Kent fired Osprey for talking under interrogation.

Oz seemed to get along with the other people searching for Dan Irem. He and K.R. both served similar roles in the Society

Osprey did not get along with Skua’s goat Vindaloo. He claimed the goat’s eyes could see his soul.

Powers
Oz’s job in the Society was surveillance and clandestine actions. He was skilled at following people through cities and general stealth. He was a somewhat proficient knife fighter and had an intimate knowledge of Pruzer.
