The Hedgeknight

The Hedgeknight is a battle-hardened mountain of a man, a rock upon which enemy lines break like waves. Prefering the pragmatism of his battle-axe over more noble weapons, he crushes his foes without mercy or respite. Woe to those who garner his attention, for he is not one to go down easily.

Hardly an inspiring leader, he is a leader nonetheless, drilling his companions in the arts of war and forcing them to rise beyond their station. Undaunted by even the largest of foes, he enters the fray axe-first, leaving the enemy lines shattered and easily destroyed.

Elsewhere his lack of chivalry would see him reduced to an errand-boy, but in the estate he will be a most welcome asset indeed.
