Description |
|||
![]() |
euen is a large man, over six-and-a-half feet in height, and weighing about twenty stones, yet he moves with a quick, light gait and uncanny sureness of step. | ||
| His face is a mass of scar tissue
and mangled cartilege where his left ear has been hacked off (for this reason, he often
conceals his face beneath his woolen hood). Ieuen wears typical Scottish garb - woolen tunic, sheepskin leggings, brigantine hauberk, woolen hood, rough-out leather boots. He carries a long dirk, a quiver of longshaft arrows, and a throwing axe in his belt. A spiked targe is often slung over his back, as is a longbow wrapped in oiled sheepskin. Ieuan uses his three-and-a-half-foot long-axe as a walking stick. Despite a longevity potion gifted to him by Tain (twice), Ieuan is starting to show his age. His head is balding, and he has started to complain about being short of breath after a run across the high moors (although he hasn't seemed to slow down any to the grogs he trains with). |

| Background | |||
![]() |
Sassanach - lowland Scot of mixed blood - Ieuen's father was a Welshman, his mother a lowland Scot herself. He grew up in the hamlets around Edinborough. | ||
| His Da' died when Ieuen was 15, and when he was seventeen, Ieuen killed a man who was trying to take over his Ma's land, on the pretext of courting her. The rest of the village didn't see it his way, so he ran off with the accusation of murderer hanging over his head. He fell in with a rough crowd, raiding cattle across the border, and slowly moved back west and south, toward his father's Wales. Ieuen's temper and innate distrust of others made him keep moving from group to group, and finally he took up working solo - robbing other thieves and bandits of their loot. His father had taught him the long bow, and he picked up use of the long axe, dirk, and shield in the running fights with English troops and Scottish clansmen. He slowly made his way back from the border, working alone, until he met Tain macMurchadh, a strange little Pict with incredible powers. Since then, he has been Tain's faithful protecter. | |||
