Angus was a shield grog of Stranggore who retired in 1203 at the young age of 28. He now works as a weapons teacher and as the leader of the militia of Barstow. He lives in the village, not at the covenant, but counts as a covenant specialist and is available to train covenant members.
Angus is not especially loud or impressive, but he is brave, hardy, and can drink many a larger man under the table. He typically fights with a short sword and shield but he is also skilled with bow and spear.
Background
Angus is a lowland Scot from Aberdeenshire. He was born and raised at the covenant of Manar House, where he was hand-picked to be a fighting grog. His fighting skills are mostly self-taught, for he is so headstrong that the covenant's sergeant-at-arms all but gave up on him. Perhaps because he was a few years younger than James when James was an apprentice, Angus was assigned as James' sparring partner and weapons trainer. Maybe the older grogs were simply trying to get Angus out of their way, or maybe they were hoping the older apprentice would beat some sense into Angus and he'd start paying attention to their lessons. The match proved an apt one, and for the last five years of James' apprenticeship, he preferred no other weapons tutor. Angus and James spent many an afternoon whacking one another with practice swords.
Personality
Angus is brave (+2). He proved himself by stand toe-to-toe with an ogre on James' Gauntlet. He also had a hearty interest in the girl Isabel, whom he soon married.
Reputation
Angus earned the sobriquet "the Dragon Slayer" in Autumn 1195 when he slew a fire drake in the story, Here Be Dragons. His Reputation is "Dragon Slayer" level 1, but it really refers to his dauntless élan: every time he fights bravely, his Reputation increases. It has not reached Level 2.
Notable Abilities
Unlike most grogs, Angus can ride. In fact, one of the covenant's horses is stabled at his house.
Angus is a Poor Student, but he is also a Good Teacher. Since Summer 1198, he has been master-at-arms for the turb, in charge of training the grogs in martial skills..
Relationships
Angus has known James since that wizard was an apprentice at Manar House. Angus was James's weapons tutor and the magus and grog are old friends.
Angus has a very pretty young wife, Isabel, whom he met while escorting James on his Wizard's Gauntlet. The couple have three children: Mary, born Summer 1196, James (named after the wizard), born Spring 1199, and Kate, born Autumn 1203.
Retirement
Angus retired from active adventuring in Autumn 1203 after the birth of his third child. His wife Isabel insisted he cease risking life and limb for fear he would orphan his three children. James convinced the magi to keep Angus at home. From the characters' point of view, he is still a grog, but from the players' point of view, he doesn't go on adventures so he's really covenfolk.
