Background
----------
Jacques - a mercenary from some time back, who'd wandered into grog work 
more or less by accident - was becoming a senior grog at Carnac, and 
natural leadership material for a turb. Frankly, it's unlikely that the 
old covenant would have let him go, were it not for his misfortune.

There was a bunch of bandits making trouble around the road to the 
covenant, and the wizards got irritated enough to send a few grogs to 
clean them out. Unfortunately, the Companion in charge of the task was a 
little rash, and - to his regret - Jacques didn't argue tactics 
forcefully enough with the fellow. The bandits, while nothing special, 
were smart enough to see an attack coming, and to have an ambush prepared. 
Jacques, with the point force, ended up in the middle of the carnage.

It was his heroic stand that saved the grogs from complete disaster, but 
at cost; a spear through the hip that left him weakened and shaken for 
life, and a dagger-slash that took out one eye. The wizards were 
persuaded to do something for him, but it only saved his life - it didn't 
restore his health. He comments now that the fight at least taught him 
something - to trust his instincts when they say that there's danger. 
With that lesson learnt, he's found that they are very good instincts. 
(He's also learnt to use his ears to compensate for his reduced vision.)

However, with some vague idea of compensation, the covenant has now 
offered him a position of standing and authority - helping to organise 
and lead the grogs of a new covenant that they are sponsoring.
