Physical Description

General Physical Condition

George has the classical DunBroch look: black hair and pitch black eyes. His heavy black hair is thick on his chest, and coarse around his sex. He is a very tall man; Balthair Guaire estimated his height to be six and a half feet. As a young adult, George was a handsome, clean-shaven man, with rough and hard hands. He was strong and powerful, and muscled "like a maiden's fantasy." However, after his coronation, George's appearance changed. Due to excessive feasting and drinking, he gained a significant amount of weight.

Identifying Characteristics

Apparel & Accessories

Fergus wore the traditional costume of the Fionmagian people, described by Devor thus:
He used to wear the national, that is to say, the Fionmagian, dress—next his skin a linen shirt and linen breeches, and above these a tunic fringed with silk; while hose fastened by bands covered his lower limbs, and shoes his feet, and he protected his shoulders and chest in winter by a close-fitting coat of wholly rhino or mammoth skins.
He wore a blue cloak and always carried his signature warhammer. He wore intricately jeweled swords to banquets or ambassadorial receptions. Nevertheless:  
He despised foreign costumes, however handsome, and never allowed himself to be robed in them, except twice in Dralio, when he donned the Dralian tunic, chlamys, and shoes; the first time to gratify his father, Gorogan II, the second at the request of Alessandro, Nympharum's lord paramount.
  On great feast days, he wore embroidery and jewels on his clothing and shoes. He had a golden buckle for his cloak on such occasions and would appear with his great diadem, but he despised such apparel according to Devor, and usually dressed like the common people.

Specialized Equipment

His personal war hammer features a head created in the form of a fist, clenching a spike, the clenched fist being Clan DunBroch's sigil.

Personal history

In 20 AC, George and his army fought Aurelio Shadannii IV, Leader of the Nympharum revolt. During the siege of Hordfall Keep, he lost his right arm at the wrist when enemy spellcasters targeted his unit. He had two mechanical prosthetic iron replacements made. The first iron hand was a more simple device, claimed to have been made by a local blacksmith and a saddle maker. The second, more famous prosthetic arm was capable of holding objects, such as a shield. While in its base state it functions as a prosthetic arm, it can double up as a miniature cannon. It has proven its usefulness several times in battle as a secondary weapon next to the repeater crossbow It wield significant power, as it is able to punch through walls—and enemies—with equal ease. In spite of this injury, George continued his military activities, and regin as king. In the subsequent years he was involved in numerous feuds and wars, both of his own and in support of friends and vassals.
