Secret GM Info for Anjou
Something you will notice when meeting with Arturo Giovanni: None of his men are Tilean; most seem Brettonian, in fact.
One of them even sports a black cloak, and a hardened demeanor.
As for Anjou's motivations, I'm really not sure: they pretty much revolve around getting to be a faceless. I think Anjou is going to try to cultivate the "noble bandit" thing...although that's a hard one to do right. Anjou wants peace for people, but he sees pretty much everyone in power as corrupt and self serving. Since the abject failure of their mission involving the lady of the lake, Anjou doesn't really feel like he can contribute significantly to protecting much of anyone. I think that I may take him in a "anti-red-hand" kind of vigilante, but I haven't settled on that yet. He also really liked the "not dwarves": they were the only people who seemed to have their heads in the right place. As for careers, I'm going to fill out Yeoman, then go to faceless (for which I have basically all the trappings already...it will still be about 10 sessions or so, I think), at which point I'll be able to capitalize on my ass-kickiness.
For 12/1
As we broke last session, you noticed the man I described next to Arturo. You recall his name as Herrod.

--12.110.83.125 12:22, 29 November 2006 (MST)Nope, just that you know his name, and he's wearing a black cloak; you remember him as being a part of the Watch, like you.
--BenofZongo 17:40, 15 January 2007 (MST)For Anjou, The Empire is the right idea, with poor execution due to corruption by the church of sigmar, power hungry politicians, and the like. This is why he idolized the knights of old: he thought that these individuals would be selfless rulers who would put the good of the people before all else. After his encounter with knights, elves, and the lady of the lake in particular, he has given this idea up as utterly naive. As far as he can tell, everyone is pretty much corrupt. Anjou hopes that the rumors are true about Gottlieb Sturm, that he is actually a 'good guy', and he has some evidence to support this in the form of his release of the characters from von Teumar. As such, he sees the Aide d'camp as a two headed opportunity: the characters can get in with someone free from the plotting of Miragliano, and they can perhaps help out the only person who seems to maybe possibly be sort of ok. Anjou would like to see the empire preserved, because he doesn't like the idea of the bloodshed associated with revolution. That being said, he does think it drastically needs to change if it is going to serve, rather than oppress, its people.
