Sir Godfrey 'Dragon Heart ' Arden

Sir Godfrey was a squire to a champion jouster when he reached 21 he was knighted by his master. Sadly his master was killed not long after in a jousting match.  Godfrey not knowing what to do then answered the call to go and fight for God. He carries 3 swords as you never wanna be without your sword!


Thomas Fletcher

Thomas Fletcher son of a bow and arrow maker is a crack shot with a crossbow taught from an early age by his father he was destined to take up the family business. However Thomas hated making arrows and bows when he could be shooting them and drinking instead.  He ended up signing up for his local lord as a man at arms . His Lord set off for the Crusades and to celebrate Thomas went out and drank.  When he awoke he had missed the caravan and would miss the boat. In his panic he met on the road Godfrey who agreed to take him on.


Reeve Alderman
