Irish Revolutionary

Motivation: To kill the English

Weakness: Possibly insane

Stephen is a wanted Irish criminal who joined Wallace's rebellion in order to "kill the English." After saving Wallace from an assassination attempt, he became a trusted friend and eventually one of Wallace's chief lieutenants.

Stephen may be more than a little touched in the head. He has personal conversations with God and often consults Him in the middle of conversations. In addition, he claims that Ireland belongs to him and believes that no danger can possibly emerge from "his" island. Nevertheless, his bravery is unquestioned and he was responsible for saving Wallace a second time at the Battle of Falkirk. Furthermore, he has enough contacts among the Irish to give at least superficial support to the claim that Ireland is "his."

His bearded face holds a wild-eyed stare and he often punctuates his remarks with a menacing cackle that others find decidedly unnerving. He is fierce enough to detract others from questioning his possible divine connection.
