Angus the Dragonslayer

Angus is a shield grog who knew James while that wizard was an apprentice at Manar House. 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.

Angus has a very pretty young wife, Isabel, whom he met while escorting James on his Wizard's Gauntlet. The couple have one daughter, Mary, born 1196.

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, though whether he was drawn to her beauty in particular, or whether his eye tends to wander, remains to be seen.

Notable Abilities

Unlike most grogs, Angus can ride. He therefore makes a good shield grog for James, who is usually mounted.

Angus is a Poor Student, but he is also a Good Teacher. He may become a good trainer for the turb in several years. Now, he's too young to command the necessary respect.
