I actually chose that because it seemed to me that it would work in a lot of different settings - the old Manriki Gusari if we go oriental, the spiked chain for 'classic' fantasy, a set of tire chains for modern, etc.There are horses in a ton of different settings, and for those where there aren't it seems easy enough to just apply the horse stats to whatever mount he's got, or give him a motorcycle or something. The only place that could be an issue is that his horse is actually a companion - I'd envisioned using him to track, help him keep watch, etc. and it might be hard to work that in if it's simply a motorcycle.  (However, a steampunk setting could produce a mechanical horse with a limited AI.) That said, so long as you modify any given adventure to account for his deficits Gaibrial could run without his mount as well. "There's something missing, like a part of me is supposed to be here but isn't. Like the hole in your mouth when you lose a tooth . . . you just can't stop worrying at it." The Cavalier has some nifty abilities mounted but he seems pretty stout even without his horse.Appearance wise, I'm fine with changing things around. He's a big, sort of brutish looking bruiser who's ironically something of a charmer regardless of the setting, but he could easily be given an Oriental/Arabic/Native American/whatever flavor.</blockquote>
