**Description:** The Gunwraith is a vengeful spirit of a long-forgotten gunslinger, cursed to roam the mortal realm. Clad in tattered remnants of its former life, it wields a spectral firearm that channels its rage into deadly shots. The Gunwraith often uses stealth and cunning, striking from the shadows to instill fear in its foes. It is known to haunt battlefields where gun violence has occurred, seeking to avenge the fallen and maintain a twisted sense of order. Its demeanor is unpredictable, oscillating between a calm, calculating hunter and a frenzied specter of wrath.
