Howel Character Sheet

From Ars Magica

Howel ap Thomas, Shield Grog, a grog



Background

Howel ap Thomas was once a thief but not a smart one. Soldiering offered a way out of the dungeons. He has since made a decent life despite the brand on his cheek, though his old tendencies occasionally surface. Certainly he is always the one to be found first rifling the bodies of the dead after any battle or skirmish.



Description

Howel is of medium height, well built with black hair and brown eyes. He wears a hauberk of scaled iron and carries a sort spear and heater shield. He has difficulty remembering names, which often causes him to mumble.
