Byrne Norrall

Byrne Norrall is a Haniam scientist of Hyrule, dedicated to uncovering the mysteries of the creatures known as Haniam, born through the bite of a supposedly mythical creature in the Twilight Era known as a ReDead. He would achieve immortality by forever being known as the creator of Haniam with the turning of his first successful test subject, Shigen Lorule.

Background
Byrne was once the Royal Scientist in employment of the Hyrule Royal Family in what would become known as the Era of Twilight. Tasked with studying Hyrule's various monsters and creatures, Byrne would come up with ways for Hylian soldiers as well as townsfolk to protect themselves against the dangers of the wilds.

One day, while studying the Royal Family's archives of the legend of the Hero of Time, Byrne became interested in the vague mentioning of a creature known as a 'Haniam', said to be the result of a human being bitten by a ReDead and transforming into a creature with phenomenal strength and a taste for human flesh.

Fascinated by the idea of such a creature existing, Byrne requested the opportunity to dive further into researching this supposed 'Haniam', but was denied by the King of Hyrule who dismissed the creature and its origins as mere myth, as what was considered true and what was not during the Era of the Hero of Time was considered shaky at best with the time split.

Despite meeting opposition, Byrne continued delving into the mystery of the Haniam, earning scorn and ridicule from his fellow scientists for chasing fairy tales. Even with the opposition Byrne faced, he was bound and determined to bring this supposed fairy tale to life and leave his mark in Hyrule's history.

Eventually, all his research would come to a head when Byrne kidnaps the son of a friend of his, transforming him into Hryule's first living Haniam since the Era of the Hero of Time. Mad with the lust of furthering his research, Byrne willingly let himself be transformed into a Haniam so he could dedicate his eternal life to his work.

Personality
Byrne is an amoral man, willing to do anything and everything possible to further his own research into the limits of a Haniam's strength. He is cruel, malicious, and a dangerous man to cross if one impedes his path to furthering his research. He cares not what the world will think of him in the end, taking solace in the fact that even if he does die one day, he will have forever left his mark on the world with the creation of the Haniam.
