Background:
Zoltan was born in a small village in Hungary. He fell in with bad company, and picked up some interesting habits. However, when the folks decided to ambush a woman traveling with one guard, Zoltan turned on his erstwhile companions. He helped defeat them, defending the lady. The guard was killed. Just as things finished up, a local nobleman showed up, and after a little questioning declared that Zoltan was one of the local brigands, and had him branded as a criminal. The lady easily persuaded Zoltan that there were better places to live, and the Redcaps have since trained and equipped him.

I like it. Good name, especially, and the brand should get us in lots of trouble. You might have to wear a helmet a lot, which will just create different types of trouble.
