Bretonnian nobles are no strangers to glory, regularly embarking on quests to defend their people from unimaginable horrors. But when it comes to the fiercest of foes—like fire-breathing dragons—there’s one noble who stands out above the rest: Sir Cecil Gastonne, or as he’s better known across the land, the Wyrm Slayer.
A Monster Slayer of Renown
While most Bretonnian lords would prefer to sit back in their castles, enjoying wine and feasts, Sir Cecil is a different breed of noble. His true calling is in the pursuit of enlightenment through battle, and when a giant, many-toothed beast threatens the peaceful peasants of his kingdom, he is the first to ride out. One of his most legendary victories was over Norndrak the Tyrant, a dragon whose very name struck terror into all who heard it. Sir Cecil didn’t just kill the dragon; he made sure to craft a cloak from its scales, an impressive and stylish reminder of his victory.
The Dragonhide Cloak and Sorrow’s End
The Dragonhide Cloak is more than just a trophy of Sir Cecil’s prowess. This magical item grants him remarkable durability, especially in the face of his enemies’ fire and armour-piercing attacks. It’s as if the spirit of Norndrak the Tyrant is still watching over him, shielding him from harm. As for Sir Cecil’s weapon, Sorrow’s End, it’s no ordinary axe. This magic weapon is designed to cleave through the toughest of monsters and cavalry with ease, making Sir Cecil an absolute nightmare for any foe foolish enough to challenge him.
A Hero to Lead from the Front
Sir Cecil’s renown stretches far beyond Bretonnia’s borders, and his name sends shivers down the spine of the fiercest enemies. Despite his status as a noble, he prefers to fight on his own two feet, leading his Foot Knights into battle with the same bravery and skill that earned him his title. His leadership on foot makes him a fantastic choice to bolster regiments of warriors, allowing your cavalry-heavy forces to charge ahead while he deals with any threats on the ground.
Upcoming Release
Fans of Bretonnia will soon be able to get their hands on this legendary character in resin form. His rules will be included in the Arcane Journal: Kingdoms of Bretonnia book, and we can expect more information on his upcoming release soon.
So, if you’re looking for a hero who can slice through monsters with ease and inspire your troops to victory, Sir Cecil Gastonne, the Wyrm Slayer, is the noble you need. His deeds have become the stuff of legend, and soon, you’ll be able to add him to your own army to carry on his legacy of monstrous slaying.
