Persona:

Feradach Mac Tralin Mec Domongairt is a Scottish highlander of the Donald clan from the Isle of Skye. He was born in 1280 and fought as a Gallóglaigh during the Wars of Scottish Independence. After losing the war he traveled to Ireland where he married and had four children (who later moved back to the Isle of Skye to live in the clan lands). He hated the English and wished revenge on them. When the hundred years war broke out he saw this as his chance to get revenge. He traveled to France to fight in the war and did not return.

His descendant, born in 1580 and 14th in line, is named after his ancestor and resides in the same plot of Scottish land that was owned by the first Feradach. The young Feradach continues to hold to the old ways. His first taste of combat was as a Redshank in the Nine Years War at 16. After the war was lost he became disillusioned with his country and traveled Europe as a mercenary. He has traveled extensively, including a stay in Germany where he learned advanced sword techniques from the Lichtenauer School. When the War of Three Kingdoms broke out in the Isles he felt that this was the chance to break the hold of the English that had tormented his family for generations. He returned to Scotland with the family he had formed in Europe and used his knowledge and skills to give the highland soldiers a chance to weaken the hold of England. This was his last war.
