Birdmen of Catrazza (Tilea) - a photo on Flickriver

            The Birdmen of Catrazza are a famous band of Dogs of War mercenaries that hail from the Tilean city-state of Verezzo. Wearing their trademark bird-mask, these Mercenaries are famous throughout the lands of Tilea for their ability to fly across the battlefield by using a pair of wings made entirely of canvas stretched out over a light wooden frame. This is strapped to their shoulders by means of a harness that leaves both hands free to shoot a smaller variant of the crossbow. In flight, the wings can be flapped by means of a stirrup attached to the feet, allowing the Birdmen to glide up and down the battlefield.

This ingenious invention was made and manufactured by the famous inventor Daddallo, who was a well-known craftsman and windmill builder within the city of Verezzo. He became obsessed with trying to fly like a bird after he acquired some lost manuscripts of Leonardo da Miragliano. Inspired by the ideas these contained, he began experimenting with flying devices. Only later did it emerge that these manuscripts were clever forgeries. However, by then it was far too late; Daddallo’s obsession had quite literally taken over his life, ousting any vestige of common sense from his fevered brain and putting him on the path as a Mercenary of Fortune.
