Sir Alec

Sir Alec is a knight and the lord of Guardbridge, a village along the eastern coast of Scotland on the way to St. Andrews (an important pilgrimage site) and only six miles from Cupar castle, a royal castle and home to the Steward of Fife. His father Sir Andrew was lord here before him, but when Alec returned home from the Crusades he learned his father was dead. Alec is a member of Clan MacDuff and a vassal of Malcolm, Mormaer of Fife.

While Alec was on Crusade, he acquired a holy relic: a toe bone from St. John the Merciful, that he carries in a golden amulet around his neck. This grants him 1 Faith Point and Magic Resistance 10. He regards himself as superior to almost everyone and does not interact well with equals. He is also a werewolf. He thinks his werewolf situation is an Infernal Curse, but it is actually Magic.
