Captain Oscaigne (pronounced “oss-kine”) rose from a position as a commissioned soldier in the King’s army to his respected position, trusted with many of the secrets of the realm.
He brooks no guff from upstart adventurers, having seen them come and go in his nine years as Captain of the Royal Guard. Now in his late forties, he is past his fighting prime, but his skills are still sharp enough to demolish most challengers before they understand what they are in for. Captain Oscaigne is an outstanding swordsman, and still bears the faded blue-and-gold champion’s torse granted to him by the Queen before he attained his position, reminding all who see him that he was once peerless as a warrior. Although his face bears scars, and his manner is intimidating, he earned every bit of his rank and reputation in battle. Statistics: Captain Oscaigne is a 15th-level Fighter, with physical abilities appropriate for his age and level. He wears polished full plate while on duty, with a deep blue cloak to mark his rank and station , and the Captain’s sword at his waist. He is morally inflexible, and chooses not to engage in further morality (Lawful Neutral), as it is “not his calling”. His exceptionally well-trained Royal Guards are each minimum 6th level, mostly Fighters. How you can use Captain Oscaigne in your game: • Adventurers who get a little above their station may need a reminder why they shouldn’t threaten royalty, and Captain Oscaigne is just the man to do so. • For adventurers who wish to ‘retire’ for a while and take up a legitimate position, Captain Oscaigne makes an excellent mentor or employer. He may also make for a good pre-adventuring parent figure or mentor, someone to return to and show off someone’s skills or prove their worth. • If the Kingdom is threatened, Captain Oscaigne’s role is to stay and defend it. He may deputize some nearby adventurers if someone needs an escort to reach a safe place, however. Originally posted on Game Masters Stash on 13 March 2019. Comments are closed.
