Mungo Third Son
Mungo Third Son has only just started adventuring (with the guild - although apparently according to him has had 100's of other adventures).
He comes from the Land of the Ice and Snow in the North somewhere populated by the sort of folk described in "The Immigrant Song"... He is 6' 4" 200 lbs, 19 years old.
Odin is his god although worship seems to mostly involve feasting, good hospitality to others, fighting and bragging about it with his comrades later. Apparently he is on the right track as Odin is appreciative and has gifted him a magical spear which he used to defeat an avatar of For$%.
At the moment he definitely wont be learning a magical college as reading all that dry technical stuff bores the crap out of him... & also because he doesn't want to risk his reputation by becoming a know-it-all weedy coward who wears robes ...
His defining characteristic is hair, of which he has an abundance, which crawls around his head, growing as constantly as an usurer's interest.
He has recently acquired a new style for his "do": shaggy gray hair & thick shaggy gray sideburns - after obtaining the talent to shape-change to Wolf & Werewolf forms ...
He shows more bare skin & muscles than are necessary for warriors other than those portrayed in the art of Frank Frazetta & seems unaffected by cold (Ring of Warmth rather than fortitude). He wears fur and leather otherwise.
He is of the "nobility" and believes he is born to lead being the youngest son of a very minor but very self important highland barbarian/bandit "king" (chieftain) & his 2nd wife - a well bred but adventurous gentle lady at first captured for ransom & then seduced by large muscles, too much mead, a well cut fur loin cloth .....& too many bodice ripper tales of romance…
He has been taught to read, educated & given a good knowledge of the outside world by his ambitious mother keen to see him move up the family pecking order & improve the tribe’s (her) prospects .... so has gone off to seek plunder & treaure but most importantly a fearsome reputation through the guild....Recently he has acquired skills as a Skald (Norse Story teller/ Poet) & is happy to provide listeners with free food & drink and regale them with adventures - (mostly his own flimsily disguised).
It has been prophesied (ChrisC) that he is fated to wield a mighty magical sword, large in size & dangerously cold to the touch - called "Frost-brand" or something similar - rumoured to last be seen in the Lunar Empire. Currently his main weapon is a hand and a half called 'Hope Crusher".
He likes warriors, manly sorts, rascals etc and anyone who likes eating and drinking excessively & telling tall tales of ones exploits into the early morning...so any halfling blessed with a tongue of silver has a decent head start. He regards mages as damned useful too like shopkeepers – but not as important as blacksmiths.... and some women are damned tough too....however at the end of the day, he who tells the best story wins.
He knows how to survive in the wilds (Ranger)(Hunter) and & has been trained from birth to fight skilfully (Warrior) and tactically - especially by his favoured methods of death or glory charge or by last stand at the top of a pile of his slain enemies (MIl Sci). He has studied Navigation which will no doubt be useful for going raiding and can swim well and breath water if he falls overboard....
He is played by Michael McFadden.
