Mental characteristics
Accomplishments & Achievements
Sir Stormchapel was an extremely talented military commander for the city-state of Arrowport. In 1052 he led a small force against pirate raiders from Garby Haven that had taken control of a small village nearby.
Failures & Embarrassments
Sir Stormchapel is, perhaps, most infamously known for leading a failed expedition into the Untamed Wastes in early 1058. Following several high profile raids by an orc warband, the Arrowport government commissioned Sir Stormchapel to lead some troops to put down the warband and return with the head of the orc warchief, Dron Thunder Quelcher.
Sir Stormchapel gathered his force - 32 horses, 15 wagons, and 83 soldiers - and headed out. The force would be ambushed a little more than three weeks into the expedition by an overwhelming force of orcs and dire wolves. None of the expedition survived.
