Buster is a male Great Horned Owl, or Bubo virginianus, and the grandson of Bubo. Much like his late grandsire, Buster is a masterful blacksmith in service to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree and its Guardians and shares the fiery reddish tinge of his feathers that Bubo was known to bear. Buster is also the father of Arvid.
History[]
The Keepers of the Keys[]
During their period of education at the Great Tree, Jytte, Froya, Third and Stellan were given a short evening lecture on the nature of Bonk Coals and their properties by Buster, who hosted the class in his own forge, describing the high energy of the coals and how the properties of them varied depending on the heat of the area they were taken from, with the greatest of all originating from the Sacred Ring of Volcanoes. Sometime later, as the Great Tree and its inhabitants readied for war on the bears of the Ice Clock Cult in the wake of Otulissa's declaration of such (Soren having been captured, leaving his old Spotted Owl friend in overall command), Buster and his son, Arvid, were both assigned to the task of forging the helmets and battle claws needed for the battles to come as owls, dire wolves, rebel bears and birds of all kinds readied for bloodshed.
