Not much is known about Badru. Some people believe he is the only werepyre, judging that no one had heard or seen a werepyre until they meet him. He almost always has his bear hound with him. Some also believe that he is the one that found the Forest of Night, and that he was the one that place the curse which says that once you enter the forest, you can't leave. Everyone in the forest knows about him, and none dear attack him, even the wild animals know better. It is said that if Badru is killed, the curse over the forest will be lifted, and the people will be able to leave once again.
