Biography
Not much is known about Shergar, however he was once a brother to the monks at Augustine's Priory. However, Shergar left due to the lifestyle not being to his liking. Shergar later found work by masquerading as Thegn Tedmund, under Tedmund's employment.[1]
Shergar was later given the duty to oversee the work and supply-loading at Beamasfield, a lumber mill in Cent. Posing as Tedmund, Shergar's presence was mistakenly noted by the Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq, who shared his information with Abbot Cynebert and Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir. Within time, Basim and Eivor traveled to the lumber mill to kidnap "Tedmund" from his overseer position. Sleuthing their way through the guarded area, Basim and Eivor abducted Shergar, whom they have mistaken for Tedmund. Shergar pleaded for his life while both Basim and Eivor took him to Cynebert, for a fast resolution to their plan.[1]
Upon meeting with Cynebert, Eivor and Basim appeared to have "Tedmund" hostage, while Shergar pleaded not to die and wanted to tell the truth. However, upon first glance, Cynebert noticed that this "Tedmund" appeared shorter and fatter than usual. Shergar explained that he was not Tedmund and had been acting as a body double for the thegn. Eivor threatened to end Shergar's life as he was seen as useless, until Shergar noted that a bunch of Danes were recently taken hostage. Shergar explained that they could use the reinforcements. Agreeing with his assessment, Eivor and Basim traveled to the camp to help the captured Danes.[1]
Behind the scenes
Depending on Eivor's choice, Shergar may have helped her and Basim release the captured Danes or went with Cynebert, who advised him to keep a vow of silence on the matter.
