How about this: Shadowed Beastbonded of the Bloodborn

Here's my reasoning, word by word - I can be thorough =}

Shadowed: I want to emphasize his affinity with darkness, which is both a boon and disadvantage. It can be used to compel him to ill effect in situations of bright light, or where he is caught out in the open without anywhere to hide. It can be invoked to give him an advantage where he can use shadows and other forms of obscurement.

Beastbonded: His animal companion, Marsh the smallish black panther, is a core part of him. They have a connection beyond that of normal hunters and their animal friends, and in fact share a sort of empathy and special awareness of one another. This is to his benefit in how Marsh will act to protect him and act in times with one mind, but is to his detriment if Marsh is captured or hurt as Gelthas can feel the echoes of the feline's discomfort.

of & the: Ominous powers of prepositions and articles!

Bloodborn: General Paetani's Bloodborn are elite members of the army, trained to be ever observant and able to keep trouble away from their master. Through psychological conditioning from an early age, they are normally faithful unto death... but Gelthas has escaped this tie. While his training is with him and could be used to invoke when his military expertise is applicable, it is also to his detriment as he must always be on guard that Paetani's forces seek to kill, or worse, reclaim him.

Preliminary ideas of course, up to your approval and can easily be trimmed down!
