Background

A grog of the turb, Angelhart has known the young magus since he first came to the covenant as a child. The apprentice was always eager to hear the stories Angelhart could from his travels with the magi of the covenant.

When the magus passed his gauntlet and was going to leave his Alma Mater, it was decided that Angelhart would be his escort and keep him safe.

He sometimes gets flashbacks to one or two adventures with a rather ruthless Tytalus(?). They attacked a village harbouring an infamous hedge wizard. It was an easy match, and as the villagers were pleading for mercy, the magus ordered them killed. The flashbacks also make a curse of slander, and he typically acquires a reputation of merciless where-ever he goes.

The flashbacks have made him more compassionate over the years.

Elaboration

Curse of Slander

(Minor, General or Supernatural)

Wherever he stays, unpleasant rumors and ill-favored stories about this character begin to spread within a short time. This can be due to bad luck, or it could be something supernatural, like a curse. The slander is centered on one specific section of mundane society — the nobility, the church, guilds, peasants — and it seriously hampers his working life. After staying one season in an area, he gains a bad Reputation at level 1, usually a Local Reputation. He gains one point toward raising the Reputa- tion in each further season, or more if he is involved in disturbing or strange events. Truly remarkable deeds can halt the increase for one season, but they will be forgotten come next season. At a covenant, people are used to strange things and deviant behavior. The Reputation is gained and increases in intervals of years rather than seasons, giving the poor victim more time before he becomes completely shunned. If the character leaves an area, the Reputation stops increasing, and may even fall, at the troupe’s discretion

Flashbacks

(Minor, General)

When engaged in combat, or a similar violent and tense situation, the stress might trigger a flashback to the horrors of past battles, which left this character mentally scarred. The hallucinations seem so real that it is hard to avoid reacting to them. When an event appropriate for the Flashbacks occurs, roll a stress die against an Ease Factor of 9. On a failure, the character panics and revert to his past nightmares. At the storyguide’s discretion, modifiers from –1 to –5 could apply, for things like full-scale battle, fires, or stampeding animals. In addition, add or subtract any relevant Personality Traits, depending on whether they might lessen or worsen the effects of this Flaw.

Bear in mind that positive traits like loyal, reliable, law-abiding, or calm should be helpful in avoiding this affliction. Similarly, negative traits like selfish, angry, or corrupt subtract from the roll, making him more likely to succumb. Often, his actions hurt, embarrass, or offend comrades, employ-
