His ludicrously robust constitution has kept him going, and surviving this long has meant that he has learnt how to use most weapons, largely by accident - for the fact is that he suffers from a complete lack of ambition. 'E knows 'is place. (Mind you, it hasn't hurt his survival chances that he's ridden "borrowed" horses away from more than one battlefield.) He almost seems to radiate this state of mind, and the fact is that he's not very bright. He also tends to ramble on at great length in a monotone mumble. ("When I stood with the spears, 'longside Couer de Leon at Jaffa - mind you, most o' the lads at that fight were eyetie sailors, not that I've got nothing 'gainst sailors, like, or eyeties - knew this eyetie girl once... But where was I, oh, yus, Jaffa, durin' the Crusade. Well, I stood with the spears there, y'know, 'longside ol' Couer de Leon...") All this means, of course, that he never does receive the respect which some would say was his due. On the other hand, he doesn't usually worry about this, much.
