Pegasus and Tulpar are, structurally, the same myth told an ocean apart. Instead of picking one, this entry treats them as two names for the same animal and builds outward from what both versions already agree on. Neither tradition needed the other to exist. Neither one had to lose.

Tommy is a facilitator who neutralizes targets so other operations can proceed. He moves with calculated silence, wears gloves constantly, and smells faintly of floral chemicals. He insists on the name Greyhand, referencing his signature botanical Greywort and his application method. His associates ignore the nickname. Tommy adheres to a strict professional rule. He will not knowingly deliver a lethal dose unless adversaries are actively trying to kill his team. He considers permanent solutions lazy because dead targets cannot be questioned or ransomed.

Greywort is an unassuming herb that suppresses the nervous system. Small amounts cause drowsiness. Moderate amounts induce unconsciousness. Large amounts approach lethality. Tommy controls the dosing and cultivates the plant in the basement of a legitimate apothecary. The plant is processed into contact pastes, ingestible tinctures, and aerosolized concentrates.

His operation includes three lieutenants. Vera executes physical restraints and contact poison applications. She remains silent during jobs and critiques them extensively afterward. Silas is a sniper who insists on the unused nickname Silk. He relies on stealth and poisoned darts. Petra is a chemist who manages the Greywort cultivation and compound synthesis. She refuses to leave the laboratory because she prefers the predictability of botanicals over human interaction.

The lair is divided into a reputable surface apothecary and a reinforced basement laboratory. The basement contains cultivation zones, chemical storage, and clean, ventilated holding cells. Tommy utilizes the basement ventilation system and reinforced doors to control engagements.
