O'Ways/Hamish
Cathay, Far East
Commander of the 13th Alatol Dragonclaws.
After a couple of years, Donovan, Megistos' Estate Keeper, recruited a young orphan to replace his son, who had been killed during the short but murderous invasion by Abbington forces in early 2007. The boy's father had been killed in that same attack on the County, and for a short while he served the family as stable-boy and gardener. Soon, Megistos discovered him to be able with the sword and that his wits were just as keen. He held a family Council where it was agreed that Hamish was to be adopted into the family, thereby granted nobility. He was put in charge of the 16th Alatol Dragonclaws, volunteers who escorted him to the Colonies realm of Giblot, where he staid for a few months, but due to lack of orders and action, he chose to emigrate again.
He chose the newly formed realm Cathay as his new home and became a Knight of Leod. He volunteered for the Kingdom's first foreign military operation, a sortie into Ethalian lands to break the Arcaean siege of Larmebsi. He was almost killed at the subsequent counter-attack, where he shot down a former Marshall of the Cagilan Empire that now served with the Arcaean forces and as the fortunes of war decided, attacked his sector of the line. He has become more and more attached to the Kingdom and it is becoming ever less likely he will ever return to Atamara, especially since a certain young Lady has stolen - at least part of - his heart.
He is a tall man with dark hair and light eyes, very straightforward and even more outspoken than Cullen is. His values are his only doctrine and he will defend them with his life. With Deirdre he shares the love of battle.
