Bernard

Bernard

Apex predator of Broad Street. Enormous, ancient, and (against all reason) named Bernard.

Bernard has circled South Philadelphia since long before the stadiums, or the city itself, existed. Nobody's sure where he nests. When the air turns cold and the city gets loud, Bernard is watching from above, and he is extremely on our side. Don't let the name fool you: plenty of terrible things are named Bernard.

Known behaviors: circling, snatching, brooding over Broad Street. Habitat: the thermals above South Philly. Allegiance: absolute.
