Cheers Sparticus

He's an old General from a bygone war that went on for a long time. He is now a 'Sheriff' in a run down town, basically retired, that sort of character. I figured I would have him around 127 years old, though he doesnt look it.

I dont know how much you know about the character of Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) from Lord of the Rings but he's actually from a race called the Dunedine Rangers who live until they are about 5000years old. The character Aragorn is about 80 something in The Two Towers, it gets mention in th extended version. And is in the glossary of the books too.

I loved the idea of this warrior thats been around for bloody ages, outlived people and has seen and experienced more shit than you or I put together. So...this character is something similar.

hope this makes sense
