Summary
Holland came from a hard life. The same sob story as every other brigand that you found on the road, a tale of a horrid family and harsh conditions. Adversity and misfortune were par for the course in his line of business, in whatever form. To be a highwayman was to leave behind sensibilities (bloody money did you no good if you were too busy retching in the road). When Holland heard of the call for adventurers from the distant and unknown Emmerich Estate and answered, it was a last act of sorts. He didn't expect to survive, especially after hearing from the pallid, sickly folk of the town what lied in wait for his kind. But, several months later, he's still kicking and more knowledgeable in the hardships of life. Life was awful, but less so with company. And what striking company it was! Occultists and jesters, crusaders and bounty hunters, there was no lack of interesting characters in the hamlet. He carved out his own corner in the barracks, forged his own friendships, was as happy as could be when working in such a line of work.
Then, the leper caught his eye. A man with true understanding of adversity, who still kept a noble air when his very body was rotting away. A match clearly made in heaven.
