Scottish Revolutionary

Skills: Strength, HTH Combat, Melee Combat

Motivation: To free Scotland

Weakness: Headstrong

Hamish is Wallace's childhood friend and right-hand man. Shortly after Wallace's return from abroad, the pair met again at a local wedding, and Hamish received a convincing lesson on his friend's tactical skill. That lesson remained with him in the dark years that followed.

He has fought the English alongside his father Campbell, and was among the first to rally to Wallace's side after Murron was killed. He stood by his friend through thick and thin, participating in the victory of Stirling and continuing the fight after Scotland's defeat at Falkirk. After Wallace's death, Hamish carried on in his name and wielded his friend's famous five, foot sword into battle.

Hamish is a huge bear of a man with tremendous strength and courage. He has fought the English alongside of his father for all of his adult life, and knows of little else. He tends to bull his way through situations, and lacks the knack for cleverness and foresight that Wallace possesses.
