Fergus mac Roich
Fergus mac Roich
Fergus mac Roich is a warrior and a ladies' man, so he can't really choose between being a lover and a fighter. In that case, you can find him warming a lovely lass's bed or practicing his swordplay with friends. Fergie's a former king of Ulster, but now he's a loyal soldier—to whichever Irish king he feels he owes allegiance to. That allegiance might change from time to time, but one thing remains the same—he's Fergalicious.

Mostly I just figured they couldn't do anything about it, so there was no point in worrying them. I said, 'A wee little bit,' instead, in honor of being in Ireland, where one adjective was never enough if three would do."-C.E.
