Biography
Early life
Saint Venator was born Venator Cobble, only child to zealous sanctists Heres and Teresa Cobble. While Mrs. Cobble spent most days tending the home or volunteering at the local shrine to Zēlos, young Venator would follow in his father's footsteps. Mr. Cobble was a tanner and a seasonal hunter, and taught his son all about his trades. The boy would soon prove to be an outstanding marksman, excelling in use of bow and crossbow (once he could afford one). He turned full-time hunter by age 14, and would often stay weeks away from home trapping and hunting for furs.
O holy Saint, bless my hunt today.
Bless my rifle and my sight.
May every shot honor thy name,
striking with purpose and care.
Let my gun be the instrument of thy will,
and every bullet be guided by thy hand.
By thy holy name, Venator,
at your command, blasphemers shall burn.
