Cuthbert

"Why not, What could go wrong?"

Raised in service to a Midlands lord, recent years have seen much intrigue. Cuthbert was regularly dispatched with messages far and wide, in support of rebellion or loyalty to the king. However a mistimed message encouraging rebellion to a lord who had just made peace with the king, led to Cuthbert being detained and ransom demanded for his releif. To his horror ransom was refused (possibly due to Cuthbert's amorous relations with one of the lords daughters). Fortunately once his captor realised no money was forthcoming he sent Cuthbert on his way, as his captor planned reprisal against Cuthbert's former employer. On his own and jobless Cuthbert was undetered, things usually worked themselves out for the best he thought. Then he heard tale of an unusual new source of employed inside Sherwood forest, with most unusual inhabitants. Left without much choice and looking for a place to lay low. Cuthbert thought "why not, what could go wrong?"
