Outremer Warband: Brother Karl the Flaggelist

Warband Leader: Brother Karl the Flaggelist

Brother Karl the Flaggelist is the second son of a minor noble from Saxony, who left home at 15 to travel to the Holy Land. He joined the Templar Order soon after arriving having witnessed a raid on a pilgrim group being stopped by the Order. He has risen fast, driven by a doubtless zeal and faith, although more senior knights are concerned about his occasional violent outbursts. He will willingly admit that wrath is his greatest sin, but also claims he make it into a virtue by unleashing it on the infidels.

Traits:

Large Build
Hard to Kill
Aggressive Fighter

Sergeant Recruit: Helmut Janson

Helmut joined Karl on his journey from Saxony as a loyal retainer and long-time friend. He has not taken well to life in the Order, generally avoiding all people except Karl.

Traits:

Loner
Dodge

Sergeant Recruit: John of Winchester

John of Winchester has been in the Holy Land for only a few years, having joined the Order in England and travelling over in company of an English member of the Order who recently died in a skirmish. Having seen Harl's enthusiasm for battle as a chance for revenge and the fast rising knight as a ticket to fulfill his own ambitions he has joined the warband. 

Traits:

Fast Learner
Agile

Chaplain: Silvius the Penitent

Sivlius is a man with a troubled past. He fled Florence after being accused of stealing from his flock. His reputation has not yet reached the Holy Land where he is simply another priest who came on pilgrimage never to leave.

Traits:

Sneaky
He who lives by the sword
Healer
