"Horse" (Poul McArdry) was always a strange child. From the time he could talk he would babble to the empty air like he
was talking to people that weren't there. He claimed to have spoken with his grandfather and other relatives who had all
died before the child was born.

When he was seven, he was found one night wandering the hills with a dazed, shocked expression on his face. No one knows
how he got away from home or what he saw. Horse has never spoken since then however.

Horse became a skilled hunter. He likes to actually chase game, usually hares, trying to either catch them by hand or get
within range to where he can tag them with a throwing knife. He's gotten quite good at it and he may now be the fastest
runner in the Clan.

A few years ago, he met Badger. The two have been inseperable since then. Horse is the patient listener who hears everything
Badger has to say and does not contradict him. For his part, Horse likes having Badger around as it's constant company. The short
man's bravado is also reassuring and helps Horse remain brave. It's hard for him to do that sometimes, with the things he sees...

Encumbrance:

Erskine, with his huge ears and absolute determination to add glory to the Clan name by becoming a fearsome warrior, comes across
as the Clan's communal little brother. He's worshipped almost all the warriors as heros at some point in time. He can recount their
fights and kills on one hand while extolling their many, many virtues on the other. His father was usually the one who did most of the
talking when it came time to take the herd down for sale, so Erskine has picked up some English. He hopes to add to his vocabulary and
teach some words to his fellow Clan members soon.

Appearance:
As rugged as they come, Merry is a short, well-weathered man. His nose has been broken and never set correctly, and a piece of his tongue is missing.

Background:
Born to clan MacEwen, Merry was betrothed to Linsey McArty early in his life, and married her as soon as they both came of age. Merry, more interested in swinging his sword than plowing fields and raising kids, is rarely home, and Linsey likes it that way. His long absences from home have sparked rumors around the clan, claiming that not all of Linsey's get are his.

Merry has a foul mouth and a mean temper, which got him his nickname. One night, his foul words got him on the wrong side of a local lordling, who had his men beat up Merry and cut out his tongue. Merry has a tough time cursing now, much to his annoyance, and it just adds fuel to his temper.

Aine is from a long time crafter family of stonemasons and carpenters that have built the houses and maintained the keep for the Clan.
When her mother died young, her father didn't really know how to raise a
young girl well so he just kept her with him and she has a strong knack
for the crafts. The one time she wandered away from the clan settlement, she was a young girl and got lost in the woods and has been afraid of the forest and the wilderness since. As a result, she is reluctant to wander save when it is to a down to get supplies. She is meticulous and she wants no one hurt when she is working a job because it means the work is slowed down.

Appearance

Square shaped face with a sharp nose, long brown hair and gentle bone structure.

Background

Ada where found on the doorstep of a parish priest household. The parish priest who came to take care of her as a daughter welcomed this blessing from God. He could not have any legitimate children but took care of Ada and raised her as his own. As Ada grew she where taught to manage a household but her clumsiness made her father think that she where meant for other task here in life. As she showed interest in scripture and academic knowledge her father taught her at first and then she where sent of to school.

In her early years Ada discovered that she could see the spirits of the dead and manage to hid it from the world. Her father new but assured her that as long as she prayed and hid the gift God had given her she would not run into any trouble.

Being a woman she never had any chance of taking any degree but as she grew older she realised she where very fond of the academic world and strived to secure a teaching position, the academy allowed her to learn, but never to take a degree. She began to wonder over they years why every of her fellow teacher scoffed at the notion of using the Academic skills to actually make things or look to the skies to determine the future.

Now Ada where becoming more and more frustrated with being held back due to being a woman. She had heard tales from students and master alike about this Order of Hermes and the curious scholars that belonged to that. After having learned more and more about the Order she began to hope that there could be more opportunities there than there where in the Academy. She left her teaching position to find out if magi where in need of a Grammar teacher, after all if needed she could go back to her father.
