Every good coterie needs muscle. I was relieved to see Dennis choose a character with more brawn than brains. If there is one sure way to survive in Medeival times, it's with a sword in your hand. But I didn't want him to be your stereotypical brute, so I decided to complicate his life.

Faolan was the only character who didn't have a religion based on Christianity. This was sure to put him into conflict with the other characters. My intention wasn't to have him fight the others but rather to provide an alternate perspective as well as opportunity for a role-playing his difference.
