Okay. I have stickied the character sheet and presume you are otherwise ready to go.
I propose introducing the character in the current Winter Drake Hunt story thread. Gardatius is on his way to the legendary Covenant of Andorra, crossing through the Pyrenees, when he is attacked by a MacGuffin. This will coincide with the other players on their way to fufil the dragon's request (their own MacGuffin), and the meeting of characters can be role played from there.
Good idea?
