Grog 6 : Gedimas and Launa, freed slaves
Age: 15
Story:
These two were captured by the Livonian Sword brothers in Samogitia to be fed into the slave trade. They have deliberately remained unbaptised as the interdiction on slavery applies only to Christian slaves. The Knights came by boat, raided the village, killing the adults who resisted and captured those healthy enough to be sold on. After being shipped to Riga, then further down the coast, they were purchased in Prague by someone who saw potential in them.
Both are fearful of horses as their first experience of them was receiving a cavalry charge.
Appearance:
Hailing from a land roamed by giants, the twins stand out from the other slaves on the market, both of them over six feet tall, looking dirty but healthy and with a defiant to surly look in their eyes. They observe keenly all around them and move with undeniable grace, looking far nimbler than the usual peasant stock. Both carry a slave brand on their neck.
They sing to each other when they feel unobserved.
Why are they in the covenant?
Probably bought at a slave market by a member of the Order who saw potential in them. They are big, tireless and very suitable to join the Turb once they get a bit of military training (buying the warrior virtue and a year of training would give them Thrown 5).
They are young enough to be apprenticed if one has the gift, making for an unusual apprentice.
Alternatively, they could be used as basis for the Covenant's turb if one were to assume a bulk purchase, with a dozen of them needing to be only a little to form a coherent band of shield grogs.
