Please post your Grogs here. While the Grogs are communal, in order to keep things orderly I would like the creator of the Grog to handle that Grog's XP expenditure and edit these pages using the guidelines for the Magi, even if they didn't run that Grog during the adventure. Since we'll all be in on the adventures that the Grogs go on (or can read them later) it shouldn't be difficult to spend the xp on appropriate advancements. For Grogs that are not on an adventure in a Season, it will be the creator's responsibility to allocate the practice/exposure xp or any training xp they receive and what they actually did during that season.

Jean Claude is often sweaty and red faced, a fat man who rarely smiles. He's usually dressed in simple clothes and a stained apron with a floppy hat. He may seem always angry, but deep down he's lonely and homesick.
Background:
Jean-Claude was a camp follower for the French army and captured on an ill fated sorte against the English. The English commander allowed him a chance to prove his worth and fell in love wth Jean-Claude's cooking. Seeing that a man of his skill was a rarity in England, he decided to stay (even if they're uncouth money grubbing louts). He understands English, but rarely condescends to speak it. Most of the time he just yells at the other servants and even some guests in French. Recently he was approached by strange folk that claim to be wizards, but they pay well. As long as they realize that he's king in the kitchen.

Appearance:
Normally she appears a very plain woman with a disfiguring birthmark that makes her horrible in appearance. She often wears a veil to try to conceal her face. A servant and sewing woman that is kept around out of pity. Under her clothing though she has dagger and throwing knifes that she can defend the women of a covenant.
At other times, she braids her hair up under a helmet, puts on armor that makes her look like beardless lad of 12 for active body guarding duty. Unless you look closely but she tries to avoid drawing attention. She loves the greatsword as a weapon, it being traditional but she hasn't earned one yet.
History:
Iosbail was born the daughter of a covenant weaponsmith and one of the maids. She loved her father and while young spent hours watching him in the forge and hearing him ranting about neglected and misused weapons. Trying to earn his affection as he was a hard man, she learned to care for weapons and clean them up to save him work. This lead to learning about the weapons themselves and then training. The training was encourages by several maga in the covenant who wanted to have female guards for themselves, a guard that could go everywhere with them that often a male couldn’t. She worked hard and mastered her weapons work, especially dodging attacks and following up with her dagger or throwing dagger that could be hidden underskirts or among clothing. She learned a woman’s sewing and roles as well.
Her role for watch and bodyguarding though go confirmed after the first couple times she got lost. It has gotten to be a joke that she couldn’t find her way from her bedroom to the

Bliss isn't much to think about. Not ugly, but maybe a little too gawky. Her hair a little too frizzy. But she does a fair enough job sweeping
the bedrooms and emptying the pots. And she knows her place.
But then the little pin the Lady had came up missing. Everyone looked all around for it, but couldn't find it. Months went by, and all thought
it lost. And then Bliss showed up wearing it. She thought they had forgotten about it. And it was sorely tempting not to wear something so
shiny and pretty.
There was a fuss. They branded her cheek. They would have done a lot worse to her to. But then a very nice person helped her out. Bliss
was taken away to live in a new place, with strange people to be sure, but the rooms were full of things that shined.
Bliss hasn't taken anything too shiny, yet. She's trying to be good. But it's difficult...
Geez, one more lady Grog and we'd just need a Magus or Custo named Charles!
Just kidding, good stuff!

Appearance:
Cornelius is a nervous young man with thinning hair and a delicate constitution. He has a tendancy to squint from endless hours spent indoors reading in poor lighting.
Background:
Born in Cambridgeshire to a wealthy family with too many sons, Cornelius was priveleged enough to enjoy tutors at a young age before being sent away to Oxford where he became an accomplished scholar. The working of numbers is his true passion, and he was studying finances under the head Bursar when he saw his first ghost. It started coming around late at night in the library where he was working, but then more came, and pretty soon he saw them during the day too. No one believed him, and he tried many remedies to make them go away because they frightened the life out of him. But nothing worked, and finally the heads of the University said he could not study there anymore.
Now he is at the covenant, trying hard to ignore all the things that he can see that should not be. His latest medecine, dried frogs pills, seems to be doing OK, he has not seen a ghost or anything else for over a month now. Things will be fine. Really they will.

The only thing people remember about Witt are the scowl and the smell of dogs. He's always being followed around by at least one dog, usually
four or five.
Witt ran away from home when he was young, and ended up in Riga. He joined with the Brotherhood of the Sword and served as a scout and kennel
master for the Marshals of the order. He grew disenchanted with service: he might not like people, but he didn't condone rape and murder.
He left.
He's made his way back home to England. He just wants to find someplace where he doesn't have to deal with people, or at least not be questioned
all the time.

loves women, he loves drinking, and he loves fighting, and he doesn't care who knows it.

Appearance:
Bran is a large and sturdy Scotsman who wields the traditional claymore of the highland clans. He dresses in his family tartan most of the time, proud of the way he looks in a kilt. His long brown hair is set to pad his helmet and he unlike most of the clan has a suit of full armor taken in battle with an English knight. Brown eyes looks out on the world with a weariness as he knows he is getting old though he hasn’t started slowing down yet.
Background:
Bran was born to a clan linked to a covenant in the Loch Legean tribunal. His father was the right hand to the clan chief and he was given the best of everything as befitting his rank. As he got older though, he got fostered to another clan and befriended the son of the clan chief. The friendship was strong and so when the fosterage ended, he chose to stay with the clan of his friend. He married into the clan and for several years was happy with a wonderful marriage. He lost his love to childbirth and it drained much of his energy.
It has been years now and while his friend died in battle, his adopted clan is his and where they go, he goes. He knows that links to the mages are not bad though it can be uneasy to interact with them. He is now ready to train the young warriors rather than head out to a fight himself.
Are we going with McArdry for the Clan name Agitatus is bringing with him? Just want to know what to name any Grogs I make
I hadn't thought of the name yet. McArdy is as good as any. That would be the name of many of them, but there would no doubt be others.
Well, I didn't think it through. I conceived Bran as MacArdry for his birth clan but yeah, he would have changed it when he married into and joined the new clan. Anyone have problem with McArdry?
I've already started work on two other little McArdry's, so I'm good with it

Symon was never quite in step with the rest of his Clan. He would be out all night hunting while they would be drinking. He never quite
got all the jokes. He never smiled when he was supposed to.
So when he was 15 he left the Clan to find his fortunes elsewhere. He drifted down to Edinburgh where he enlisted as a guard for the local
lord. Symon excelled in his duties. He took the shifts no one else wanted and discovered he had very sensitive hearing. He used this to
good advantage and was soon in charge of all night shifts.
Over time however, Symon became homesick. He missed the Clan and his family. When word drifted down from the highlands that Clan McArdry had suffered losses during a raid, Symon begged leave from his Lord to return home. The Lord agreed and Symon returned home just recently. Although he's discovered that the differences between his Clan and himself still exist, he knows his duty is to be the one who watches while they sleep, keeping them safe. It is a duty he takes very seriously.

"Badger" is actually Ian of Clan Travins, a small clan with suprisingly good relations to the McArdry. His mother was a McArdry and
his father was usually away poaching on some Lord's land. When his father was caught, his mother fled back to the McArdry clan. Badger
has always been small and makes up for it by being incredibly tough. The McArdry have become quite fond of their "little cousin" and
Badger (as they've nick named him) is considered a full member of the clan regardless of that Travins blood.
Badger met Horse several years ago and the two of them get along well. The two of them are considered to be among the Clan's best hunters
and they provide quite a bit of the meat for the Clan's stew pots.
