Mungo the Humble So Named By Odin himself , called previously Mungo Third Son is relatively new to 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, 20 years old. He has long shaggy gray hair & 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.

Odin is his god. Worship seems to mostly involve feasting, good hospitality to others, fighting and bragging about it with his comrades later - Northmen from Mungo's region apparently are similar to fishermen in their accuracy of recollection of their deeds...although in fairness the lies are expected to be embellishments rather than out & out ffibs....

Apparently he is on the right track as Odin is appreciative and gifted him via a Valkyrie a magical spear - which Mungo used to defeat an avatar of the Demon President Fo#$%. Another time Odin appeared in person as an old man and advised Mungo to be more humble.. Mungo, honoured accordingly took up the.name " Mungo the Humble" - so named by Odin himself. (Odin knows his constituency so this action doubtless was no surprise.)

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 ... to be fair he regards mages as damned useful - like shopkeepers – but not as important as blacksmiths....

He is the youngest son of a very self important highland barbarian "king" (minor bandit chieftain) & his younger 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.

Accordingly Mungo views himself as being of noble blood.

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 none of his half brothers kill him during squabbles of succession) ..... so has gone off to seek plunder & treasure but most importantly a fearsome reputation through the guild...

....Since no else was prepared to help with the reputation part, bards proving hopelessly inadequate in their praise, he developed 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).

Mungo collects martial writings - sagas,, techniques & heroic sagas & owns a small library.

Aside from Odin's (other) Spear, his main weapon is a dual hand and a half set called 'Hope Crusher".

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.
