Sergeant Robert MacKrea
Robert MacKrea is the son of Clinton Keith MacKrea who had once been appointed to the great Armory of Edinburgh, as a smith for the Crowns of Scotland. Eight years to the day that his son Robert was born, Clinton left the Armory and settled for the simple life as a Shepard of Inverness.
The life was not to be so simple: when Robert was but of ten seasons, the English came, destroying everything, but keeping the sheep to feed the army. They murdered his new mother, and then slaughtered his father for taking the lives of five of the soldiers. Robert picked up his father's sword and tried to fight off three of the soldiers himself. The Captain of the Guard was impressed by the lad's tenacity and ordered him saved from the sword. Captain Jonathan Nichol Morgan raised the lad as his own. Robert was taught as a Squire, and soon showed a natural ability with weapons. Robert studied for six more seasons until a problem arose with one of the Lieutenants. Something about his daughter...
His Stepfather shipped off Young Squire MacKrea to a distant cousin to Italy to study the arts and sciences, and hopefully to learn to be a pious loyal subject of the crown. It did not work. Robert made friends with the Spanish that would come into ports around Tuscany and in less than two fortnights had supplied himself with money and passage to Barcelona, Spain. As Robert was always easy to like, he made friends with members of the Spanish court of Alfonso V of Aragon. His friends helped him get back to his native Scotland.
Try as he might, he could not find any of the MacKrea Clan, but he found a group of men that went “beyond the pale,” The Brotherhood of the Grange. Zander, their Chieftain, took “The Bawhb” into their fold. He was nineteen, and he became Zander’s First Lieutenant. Right before he turned twenty-one, he met Ahungus Mor MacGowan, Chieftain of The Clan MacGowan. Being mercenaries, he and the others of the B.O.G. were hired to be the guards of The MacGowan Clan. With the comfort, not to mention the money, of Clan MacGowan, Robert became quite comfortable. Too comfortable in fact, and he had to seek some excitement.
Robert crossed the border often, and having been exposed to many different cultures, he knew how to blend in with his surroundings. On one such journey, he met up with Lieutenant O’Flaherty, a member of the Archers of Ravenwood, an English Free Company, and joined on with group. There he could ply some of his skills and knowledge, not just of the blade, but, of his father's skill as a smith. He says he knows how to make them “with wee bit of Faire magick.”
