Martin Strongbow
🔈 (mar-TAN STRONG-boh)
Last known location (as of August 7th, 1749): Three Wells, the Refounded Alliance of Aurbez
Martin is an Isinguer human and a captain of the Rangers. He is a seasoned tactician and often serves as the coordinator of Ranger operations within the Refounded Alliance of Aurbez.
Martin is a well-built, dashing man in his 30s, with dark hair and a tidy beard. He generally wears chain mail and a river-green cloak.
Background
Martin was the eldest son of wildcat miners on the northern edge of the Aurbez Plateau, raised with stories of his Isinguer heritage. He grew up poor, and joined Rangers young, with a zeal for the cause of Isingue instilled by his parents. Although sometimes rash, his brilliant tactical acumen and daring style serve him well; he led numerous raids into the ash storms of the Plaguelands during his 20s, making a name for himself across the Refounded Alliance of Aurbez.
More recently, he has honed a reputation for discipline and clear‑headedness in command. Within Rangers he is very popular with the rank-and-file, and widely deferred to on strategic questions, though at times he is too eager to hear all sides and encourage lengthy discussion.
