Cellach Fitz-Dermot (1421)

Cellach Fitz-Dermot
Guard and manservant to Cormac O’Reilly

You are a low class man from a low class family in Norman Ireland. This never bothered you much because you were always able to defend yourself and get the ladies. When you didn’t have money, you could always scrounge up the odd job.

About 6 years ago, after a bar fight, someone came up to you and offered you a job as their personal bodyguard. He looked pretty well to do, so you accepted. That person was Cormac O’Reilly, leader of the Irish in Cavan & Meath. Since then, things have been smooth sailing. You have participated in a couple battles, won some land titles scored some serious coin. You have had more fun blowing it on prostitutes and grog in Meath, particularly on this Englishwoman named Beatrix who shows up every now and then.

Over the years, you have taken Niall’s bodyguard under your wing. Niall is Cormac’s brother. His bodyguard is Geoffrey. Geoffrey is a bit slow, but don’t tell him that, he’s got a short fuse. It’s obvious he has trouble with the ladies, so you take him to Meath and pay for him to have a luscious wench or two for himself. It makes him feel good, and keeps the hulking dumbass in your corner.

In the last 3 weeks, Cormac has assigned you to report on Niall, Lugaid, and Generis. Lugaid and Generis are the freaky brother and sister of Cormac. All you know is that they keep weird hours and give you the evil eye if you look at them too long. Lugaid is a priest and Generis is a seamstress. They haven’t been doing much out of the ordinary, because everyone is preparing for the dance/joust to take place this weekend in Dun Boyne. Generis is the prize for the joust. You know the meeting is really an opportunity for Cormac to meet with an English Lord to negotiate out a food for water deal. You haven’t felt it much yet, but there is a serious famine striking Ireland.

Some things have been bothering you leading up to this weekend. First, Geoffrey seems a little preoccupied with Generis. He even talks about “loving” her. You need to make sure that Generis makes it safely to the tournament. You are also worried about Cormac. His wife (of 5 years) completely dictates every major decision of the house. He even calls her “mistress”, and not in a good way. Cormac’s business is your business. Last, the English are going to be at this tournament and they simply cannot win. Any advantage you can scrape up for your side is good.

Finally, the O’Casey twins are just too good to pass up. You must find a way to bed those wenches.

What is this?
