Geraldous the Seargent, a grog.

Background

A veteran of many a minor border skirmish Geraldous is one of the most respected senior grogs. Despite his relative youth, he is a born NCO, having a natural tendency to guide and watch over his juniors. He was custos at another covenant but has followed a young apprentice as they strike out into new territory to form a covenant. He felt his skills were becoming dull through lack of use at the older, well established covenant, and hopes that this new venture may provide him with the opportunity to see some combat.

Description

Geraldous is tall and strongly built with dark hair and grey eyes. He is missing an ear, his left, though this fact is often covered by a helm. His customary 'adventuring' garb is a scale hauberk, leather-coifed helm, leather gauntlets and boots over a red shirt and grey hose. He adds additional armour if he has time to prepare for a battle.
