Skold

A Skold is a special type of magician. They are teratologists - monster fighters - and specialise in combating monsters with a deadly array of traps, smoke screens, potives, drafts, elixirs and potions. They also keep a dagger handy in case one of their splash potions misfires and they are left defenseless... Skolds wear a wrap around faceskraft to protect themselves from the harsh chemicals of their potions, they also usually have a drawn hood as they are sometimes rejected in society because of their violent ways.

- I got the idea from Foundling by D.M. Cornish.
