Martial Abilities, you get free with Custos (your choice of Martial, Academic, or Arcane Abilities). If he's copying the .rtf from MetaCreator, that's how it shows.
Here's a proposal for the autocrat of the covenant.
[size=150]Kester MacLannen [/size]
Role: Autocrat of Canaris Insula
Type: open play
Bio: Kester was the second son of a prosperous wool merchant from a nearby village who had some experience dealing with the covenant and its magi. During one visit to Insula Canaria, he was recruited as an assistant to the current autocrat. Knowing that his brother would inherit the business, he willingly took the job, seeing more of a future in that than in working for his brother. A tiny man, Kester makes up for his small size with a natural air of authority

Oh, right. Got it. Now I understand.
[size=150]Cory MacDougal [/size]
Role: Servant to Gavin
Bio: Gavin discovered Cory shortly after his gauntlet. The magus was travelling north when at a village he noticed a shabby fellow of about 18 at the tavern who didn't seem to be bothered by the Gift. The lad seemed sharp and from talking to him, without much of a future in the village. Gavin offered him the job as his personal servant, and Gavin accepted, it being a much more promising future than mucking stables. Over the years, Cory has proven to be every bit as valuable as Gavin hoped he'd be.

[size=150]Malcom Loganach [/size]
Role: Gavin's shield grog
Bio: Malcom has been Gavin's shield grog since the magus arrived in Scotland. He's a man of few words, but is utterly devoted to his job. He was recruited into the turb as a gangly teen who had grown up in the gutter. He knows that without the covenant taking him in, he'd probably be dead by now.

What is the uncertain faith flaw? I have never seen that one before.
It's from Grogs, p 84. It's about what it sounds. The character is uncertain about their faith. Makes it harder to invoke faith.
It's a new Minor General Flaw from Grogs, p. 84. "Whether through a flaw in the character’s understanding of doctrine, a moral turmoil, the disheartening absolution of repeated sins, or exposure to conflicting philosophies, he finds it hard to fully express devotion to his faith. Some element of doubt stands between him and the Divine, and all rolls for holy influence, tempering an aura, invoking God’s aid, or invoking a saint or baraka (see Realms of Power: The Divine) suffer a –3 penalty."
I'm getting 9 points in Characteristics instead of 7.
I'm also getting him 75 points short in Abilities (345, instead of the 420 he would get for age 30).
He doesn't have any weapons?
He should have Axe and Shield.
The Int is a -1. I always forget that it does not copy over for some reason.
I will follow up on the abilities.
It looks like you gave him Affinity with an Ability when you meant Puissant. Affinity increases the xp by half, while Puissant gives you a +2.
Also, "Profession" isn't an ability, it's a group of separate abilities. Autocrat and Merchant are two different abilities, so we need to either pick one or the other for his Puissant, or swap out Gossip for the other Profession.
Given the likelihood of a council rather than an autocrat, I've slightly modified him to be more of a merchant than an autocrat

Here's the Teacher that Gavin brings as part of his starting BPs
[size=150]Alister MacCulloch[/size]
Role: Teacher
Type: bought with Gavin's BPs. Open Play, probably
Bio: Alister spent most of his career as a teacher in Edinburgh. Unfortunately, he offended the wrong person one day and soon found his work drying up. He was surprised one day when a noble-looking gentleman said that he wanted him to tutor his older son in the ways of the world. But who was he to turn away work. It happened that the man was a faerie and his 'son' was a 25 year old magus fresh out of apprenticeship. Still, it's proven to be a good job, and Alister has slowly become accustomed to covenant life.
