Biography[edit | edit source]

Rescuing Fillan[edit | edit source]

By 1296, Fergus was part of Sören's group of mercenaries and newfound family. Joining a task given by the Scottish Brotherhood of Assassins, he and his cousin Craig waited for Sören to retrieve their target from Berwick.[1] However, his fellow mercenaries rode to meet him and Craig, but only brought one of their targets, Fillan, and not his twin sister.[2] Escorting Fillan to their employers, Fergus was in charge to guard Fillan personally, especially while arriving in Cranshaws. While there, they encountered an ambush set up by the English and the Lann Fala, a group of Templar hunters. Fergus soon lost his grasp on Fillan, who charged the leader Cornavii for killing his caretaker Alastair Aitken. However, the boy froze[3] and the mercenaries reacted to save him.[4]

Fergus, with the help of Moira, recovered Fillan while Craig faced off against Cornavii. However, while Sören and his mercenaries began to leave, they, including Fergus, watched Craig sacrifice himself for their retreat.[4] Uneased, Fergus mourned for his cousin[5] before traveling to Dalkeith to meet their contact Deorsa, an Assassin spy.[6] While in Dalkeith, he enjoyed his time in the village especially during the festival of Bealltainn.[7][8]

After the festival, Fergus followed Sören's lead to Leith and helped him and Edan find a captain to sail them closer to their next destination, Scone.[9] After crossing the Forth and then traveling for two weeks to Scone,[10] they waited for Fillan's meetings with the Scottish council at the abbey.[11][12] However, time was cut short once the Lann Fala found them and set fire to the woods.[13]

Splitting up from Fillan and Kyle, his fellow mercenary, Fergus and his group followed Sören to deter any English soldiers or Lann Fala members from the two. However, they came to aid both Kyle and a wounded Fillan, who was found and held by his throat by Cornavii. Fortunately, the Lann Fala retreated while the mercenaries took an unconscious Fillan away.[13] While Moira and Kyle tended to Fillan, the group traveled and arrived at Sören's home, Beinn Eallair,[14] where Sören would train Fillan[15] for some months.[16]

Fighting for Scotland[edit | edit source]

Fergus soon joined Sören, who asked his group to join Fillan on his first assassination and to aid Scottish Assassin William Wallace in the war against the English.[17] After two weeks, they arrived in Lanark and Fergus left to aid Wallace while Fillan left to kill his target, Commander Bradley Dacre.[18] Soon, he and his allies soon found Fillan and his twin Ailéas alive and well.[19] For two weeks, they all fought against the English before riding to Dunstaffnage to meet with Fergus' former clan leader and Kyle's father Alexander Macdougall.[20]

With the English marching to Dunstaffnage, Fergus and Kyle remained at the fort to help Clan Macdougall while Moira, the twins, Deorsa, and Sören left to find and guard the Stone of Destiny at Iona.[21] Fortunately, Clan Macdougall held their own against the English and kept the fort. After their victory, the clan sailed to Iona to meet Sören and the rest of their allies.[22]

Personality and traits[edit | edit source]

Fergus carried a lute made from spruce,[2] and would play it whenever he had the chance, even discreetly singing to accompany it.[3]
