Purple Helmets Member Roster

The Purple Helmets has always had a stable membership of about 10-15 people. At our zenith, a couple of years ago, we numbered over 30 and ran regular meetings, new player training sessions and adventures. Many of our members have been with the guild for a number of years and are extremely experienced, others moved on and formed guilds of their own - and remained friends of the Purple Helmets.

Please feel free to contact any of us to discuss the guild or anything Ultima related.

Lord El Hoggo
Guildmaster
El Hoggo is the guild's founder and leader. A veteran of many adventures and battles, he is in his mid 40's now, wears his hair in a blue dyed ponytail and, although maybe not as fast as he used to be makes up for this with skill and experience.
He is a grandmaster in swordsmanship, many other martial skills and archery. He follows the Paladin code, taught him by his great friend Levante.
El Hoggo has a particular disliking for the undead - since they killed his family when he was young - and has fought many battles against these abominations.

Lord Halfhitch
Battlemage
Halfhitch is an old friend of El Hoggo's - the pair met when Halfy - as he is called by his friends - was a young mage in training, practising his craft near Skara Brae when he was rescued from some unfriendly wolves by El Hoggo - himself a warrior in training.
They have since been on many quests and adventures together - Halfy's advanced, grandmaster magery skills proving a perfect complement to El Hoggo's martial abilities.

Lord Elric the Black
Dark Destroyer
Elric the Black first met El Hoggo and Halfhitch some years ago, when they were adventuring together.
An unkempt, full bearded fighter, with a gruff attitude and no-nonsense approach to life ("if it moves hit it to show it who's boss"). He is a seasoned warrior with many grandmaster weapon abilties, and has recently taken up the Paladin code along with El Hoggo and their mentor Levante.
Honest, trustworthy and absolutely dependable in a fight - he adopted the uniform of Levante's old order as a sign of respect for the old Paladin.

Lord Levante
Paladinotron
 
Levante is probably in his mid to late 50's. He was one of the first Paladins to land on the shores of Britannia and lived for many years in a solitary tower on Fire Island, where his secret Paladin Order of warrior monks had placed him to watch and combat the Demonic forces that amass there.
Now retired from "active service" with his secret order, he owns a new house near Trinsic. A chance meeting with El Hoggo led to his joining the Purple Helmets guild and becoming a mentor, teaching the Palaldin code to El Hoggo and other warriors of the guild, helping them unlock some of these awesome powers from within themselves.
Levante is still a formidable warrior - and his fearlessness is legendary - almost appearing reckless to those who know little of his abilties.
He HATES Daemons with a vengeance, no-one knows exactly why.

Anne-Marie
Guild Alchy
Anne-Marie is El Hoggo's long suffering wife. She is a skilled fencer and quite capable of looking after herself in battle if the need arises. However she prefers to spend time mixing potions and cures for the guild - using her grandmaster alchemy skills to their utmost.
She is often seen riding around Jhelom or the forests of Britannia, foraging for ingredients for her potions, riding on her trusty swamp dragon, Tiddles.
 
Thomas Covenant
White Gold Wielder
Thomas is a moody, irritable character. He is a great friend of El Hoggo's - they grew up together. However, whilst training to become a warrior with El Hoggo, Thomas was struck down with leprosy - he lost some fingers from his right hand and this made it impossible for him to achieve the skill with weapons he had sought. At first this made him bitter and melancholy - but a chance encounter with the rogue Lucas Blunt led to his being apprenticed to great mages in Magincia. He discovered his talents for the arcane arts were far greater than his swordsmanship had ever been.
Thomas is now a grandmaster mage and spends a lot of time alone, adventuring, exploring or obtaining artifacts, weapons and armour for the guild.
 
Fletch
GM Toxophilist
Fletch is a good friend of Halfhitch, and was introduced to the guild by him. He is a grandmaster archer and axeman of prowess. Fletch tends to adventure alone much of the time, and also supplies wood for the guild's needs. He often brings back tales of his adventures to entertain his friends in a tavern.
 
Fred
GM Fisher of Stuff
Fred is El Hoggo's 17 year old son. Young and flighty. He finds it hard to concentrate and has never really unlocked his full potential. He is a competent archer and swordsman and he knows a little magery, but the only thing he ever showed any perseverance at was fishing. He pursued this with a passion and has fished up a lot of treasure and trouble in his short life.
He has a likeable, friendly personality, he is fun to be with and has a roguish sense of humour. One day he may mature an develop his skills, but he is really a jack of all trades, master of none.
His most prized posession is his pet Ostard - Blue.
 
Tigers Eye
Keeper of Ducks
Tigers Eye is a El Hoggo's daughter - a young, shy girl of 14. She is very fond of animals and likes to study, sew and read. She is also becoming quite proficient with bow, but she prefers her own company and that of her peers to the rest of the guild.
 
Bernard
Reaper of Soles
Bernard is a grandmaster artisan. He is especially skilled in Leather work and tailoring. He makes a lot of the leather armour for the guild and his work is much prized throughout the region.
 
Cat
Coffee Baroness
Cat is an extremely successful businesswoman. She is in her late 30's and lives on the mainland where she owns a number of houses and shops. She is a skilled mage, although she is rarely seen at guild events anymore as her business ventures demand much of her attention.
 
Manx Norton
Guild Smith
Manx is a grandmaster smith and makes exceptional armour and weapons for many of the guild's members. He is particularly freindly with Levante - and is often at the Palaldin's house listening to tales of his exploits.
Likewise, Levante is very fond of the young, but talented metalworker, and he is equally interested in watching the skill with which Manx practices his craft.
 
Mad Dog
Singing Axe

Mad Dog is El Hoggo's younger sister. She was lost for a long time after the undead attack on the family, which killed their parents. Thought dead - she did in fact survive the attack and was found wandering in the woods by a brigand leader who took her in, raised her as his own child and gave her her nickname - reflecting her reckless nature.
She grew up in the woods and became a tough, fearless axewoman of great ability. She led a lawless and hard life, and many an over amorous man has woken up with a broken nose or arm after tangling with her.
She was re-united with El Hoggo after setting off alone to seek out her true past and finding him shortly after the guild began on Jhelom.
She shares little of El Hoggo's sympathetic nature or morals, and is intolerant of fools. Unruly, quick to anger and hard to control, she nevertheless is devoted to El Hoggo, opposed to monarchic rule, and fiercely loyal to the Purple Helmets - they are her true family.
