HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Nexu aptly named "Claw", was named for her willingness to use them. Murba had hired a few bounty hunters for a job of tracking down this particularly violent Nexu who had been making midnight snacks out of Murba's sentries at his compound. The remains of the sentries were little more than tattered ribbons, and Murba desired to hunt down such a beast for his own gain. It took Murba and his hunters several days to track the beast down, and then another week to finally corral it into a trap. The fierce Nexu had put up quite a fight, and even after capturing it in a cage the beast managed to escape and leave Murba a nasty scar on his chest before being incapacitated. Murba refused medical treatment to remove the scar, as he wanted it as a reminder of the hunt.
Once Murba and his party returned home with the beast finally caught, Murba began to visit the cage daily until the beast within became more comfortable with his presence. He would feed it himself and begin inching closer over time attempting to gain the beast's trust; Once the creature was acclimated to him Murba had it outfitted with a special harness and tethered to a durasteel pole. Murba used equal measures of kindness and a firm hand to ensure the beast understood who truly was in charge. It was a grueling process, but overtime Murba and the Nexu formed an unbreakable bond. He named her "Claw" from the scar that she gave him, and they've since grown inseparable. She is considered a treasure to Murba.
