Gilbert

Description: Gilbert is a young man who thinks he's something special in the way of fighting. He's got ahold of a pair of thinnish old swords and sharpened their points, and developed a style all his own, fast and pointy (and, to be honest, not actually all that skilled). The other grogs haven't quite figured out how to counter this wild style yet, and he's riding a high horse from winning fights against several challengers. (It's not so much that he's good — just fast and highly unusual.) He likes to think of these as "duels". Older more experience grogs like to think of them as ridiculous… although that doesn't make the sting of losing hurt less.

Gilbert might do better with swords actually made for his style. He would definitely do better taken down a peg or two; he's as quick to learn from his defeats as he is with his swords. He will certainly respect and admire anyone who can teach him a real method of fighting two-handed, or at least takes his innovation seriously.
