Fergus Character Sheet
From Ars Magica
Fergus the Farmer (sometimes called "Ferguth")
An interesting fellow, old MacDonald. Clanmates assumed stupidity because of his poor communication skills, often saying that Fergus was "strong as an aurochs and half as smart." Fergus never took that as an insult, however, as his uncanny connection with animals gives him a different perspective on the intelligence in a beast of the field. He's an unpleasant sort of fellow, smelling of manure and sweat, but he's very good at what he does. Chosen for his strong build, Fergus had travelled to Wales for a raiding party; most of his clanmates perished in battle. Rather than make the long journey back on his own, however, Fergus remained and took up his old profession in his new land.
