Geoffrey Talent
Chester / Knights of the World Tree / The Order of the Bull Rampant
Sir Geoffrey Talent has been a knight of the Bull Rampant, in service to Marcus Verus and Mithras for four centuries. He has been awake for only one.
He is a well-muscled man who moves powerfully, but somehow he seems washed out, as if time, and the world, left him behind.
Current Events: Sir Geoffrey has been assigned to guide the mercenary group known as The Knights of the World Tree, and help them gel as a tactical unit. To that end, he has been teaching the order, particularly its leadership, knightly tactics, melee and encouraging its members to explore the Road of Kings and the Path of Chivalry.
In the Siege of Birmingham (2031), Sir Geofferey was subjected to Lure of Flames, and completely lost control of his beast. He was barely sane enough to be trusted to remain behind and guard the bodies of fallen comerades. He is completely afraid of anything that might produce flame, which to him, is anything run by electricity or combustion engines, or most modern technology.
Members of the Order may take advantage of his expertise as a 2 point mentor in the following areas:
- Tactics (up to 3)
- Strategy (up to 2)
- Melee (up to 4 and specialties in mounted combat, swords, and lance)
- Etiquette (up to 2, with the specialty of courtly manners)
- Ride (up to rank 4, with specialties of warhorses and mounted combat)
After the War: Geoffrey and his childe are returning to Chester and the court of Marcus Verus. There, he will try to reconcile himself with the modern world in a less overwhelming setting. Once his childe is properly trained, he will probably re-enter torpor.
