Appearance

always it was a neat, grey beard. He always dressed smartly and wore his
polished breastplate with pride. His short black hair was going grey but his
faded blue eyes could still spot most bits of dirt on the Turb members. Time
had slowed Guy down considerably but he was still a formidable fighter.

left for a few years just after the turn of the century to work in Perpignan

Notes
He had some money of his own which he gained because of the blackmailing he
did.
He carried the Sword of Malinbois with him at all times, when on duty, and
thus it was lost when he slipped and fell, over 200' to his death in the gorge
formed by an underground river.
