Wanasgard, a [wily] [[Warrior]] of the [Flame Juggler clan], married
[Maryu] of [clan Sweetgrass], impressing her with his [well-trained]
hunting dogs [Stone] and [Straw], and [charming] smile. She excels at
{star lore} and {sewing}. Wanasgard's sword [Dragon Point] (won
[gambling]) can heal him. He can [leap into the saddle], is an
accomplished [wrestler], and [plays the flute]. His [fondness for
drink] is matched by his [capacity]. He learned [Esrolian] on
campaign, gaining [rich plunder]. His [sense of direction] and [time]
is unerring, and he's a fine [judge of character]. He can [start
fires with a glance]. He dreams of gaining wings for his warhorse
[Victory].
A few comments about his abilities: I have a house rule that gives members of the Warrior age group the abilities of the previous Rider age group at a value of 12. Also, I've added three of the Rider abilities to the Warrior keyword: Listen, Scan for Danger, and Sleep in the Saddle. You'd have fewer abilities if you don't use this house rule.
Also note that I consider "Grazer" implied. And as a Narrator I usually give players the clan for free, which gives give him 5 extra words (he's 105). I'd probably drop wrestling (which is just Close Combat) if I had to. Or chose a one-word clan name...
As for his followers, I figure they get the two best skills of the animal keyword without any particular description. Note that by the rules (HW.33), his dogs aren't as good as an average dog (AR.44). I can't remember if there is a clarification for this.
The "on campaign" might earn him a relationship or ability, but I'm considering it as part of his relationship to war captain.
