Marshall
Marshall , Captain of the War Trunks
Marshall was born one of the innumerable Bastards fathered by Duke Ronas 'The Giant' Darklyn. Like many of his half brothers and sisters he left Darklyn Point as a young man to seek the fame and glory that he could not hope to win under his father's banner, eventually finding himself in the life of a mercenary soldier.
As a youngster he had an affinity - though not a fondness - toward the Minmoth that dwelt within his father's castle, and so when he had amassed enough wealth fighting for other captains to strike out on his own he decided to do something never before attempted in The Continent of Greland - adapting the heavy plate barding sometimes seen on the destriers ridden by Knights of Somercrag or Rotheval to be worn instead by a hand-chosen group of particularly large and savage minmoth. He gathered a group of similarly large and savage men and women to fight under him, and so The War Trunks were born.
For over a decade the War Trunks cut a bloody swathe across the battlefields of Greland, until in 443KS they answered the call of Hallkatla Darklyn, one of Marshall's siblings, who had overthrown their father and now needed to defend her seat against her rebellious vassals. On a fateful day in April of that year Marshall led his companions in one final glorious charge against the rebel forces, only to be struck down by the Blackstone blade carried by ser Allon Southbay.
