Like I said, in the early 90's. He's made a lot more movies since then, and was a pretty good villain in several.



What does that have to do with anything?

I'm just saying he's also famous for hiring prostitutes that's all. Nothing more nothing less it's up to you want you think of that.

 

[embee]

I'm confused.

Does his character work in a forge or is he a fletcher?

 

[Paul Farquhar]

I'm confused.

Does his character work in a forge or is he a fletcher?

The name does not fall into the category of typical villain names that's for sure. I suspect it might be a code name.

He's a pretend archer.

I suspect it's a lazy and half-ass name.

They need to come up with more creative names, like Ssendam or Alucard or Natas. Or even Yuglive Dabgib.

So we have the possibility either Grant's character is the villain from the start or is revealed when the group deals with the foe they thought was the main villain?
Dorkness Rising used that after the group lost their PCs twice before they recruited help.
Or Grant's character is their patron and they assume he's acting on behalf of the ruler only to learn after he's not and is using what they recovered to take over the kingdom and they're the ones blamed for the situation!
Should be interesting when they finally release details on this movie of theirs to see where this might actually go!

He's a pretend archer.

To be fair, so are Orlando Bloom and Jennifer Lawrence.
