Covenfolk

Covenfolk who have game statistics, but who do not merit their own page, are described here. Members of the Turb have their own page.

Fighting Turb

The turb is divided into several factions, including the Alpine Refugees (who came to Hibernia with the magi), Irishmen hired here, the Black Cloaks of House Tremere, and some Scots who have sworn their service to Sir Blane. You can find them all here.

Lindsey was abandoned unto carnival folk as a child. As a consequence, he grew up to be an ever smiling ne’er-do-well. Though versed in acrobatics, he tended to ply his skills in “working the crowds,” relieving all those unsuspecting rubes of their burdensome coin. What’s more, of all the child ushers, he was second to none. Alas, in time, the runaway child grew up and moved on. Once he was sixteen, Lindsey left the carnival act behind. For a spell there he roamed Mythic Scotland, rendering his services as a Footpad to score enough coin to survive. It was a living, but one with marginal prospects. Then, as luck would have it, he chanced upon Dalmellington. Dalmellington!, a town run by the village idiot; it was the perfect place to score and score big. He bided his time, pretending to soldier long enough to earn him a place as quartermaster’s assistant. In addition, he cozied up to the village idiot’s bastard heir, Brádach. First, this had been a tactical maneuver on his part; after all, who better to have in your corner when the shite hits than the biggest bloke in town to keep you nice and clean, right? But as time went on, he soon discovered that he liked Brádach well enough. As much as he hates to admit it, there is an easy come, easy go rapport between the two, almost as if the two were kin—least that’s what he likes to think. Lindsey has never had kin, so he wouldn’t know.

In spite his proclivities, Lindsey makes a point to avoid the Black Sheep, especially at night. Something about that place gives him the willies.
