PERSONALITY: Angus's philosophy is "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." As someone who cannot lie, he is very careful with is words, and often comes off as shy or standoffish due to his reticence. Even so, he is often more decisive than his elder brother, and will sometimes just get irritated and decide for him.

Angus is a very honest thief. As a member of the Rogue Court he necessarily takes part in some dealings that would be considered unsavory by those outside of it, however, he maintains his own moral code at all times. For him, this means not taking things from someone who cannot afford it, not harming children, protecting people in need, and being loyal to the Court at all times. The only thing which would overstep those rules is the lives of his family--if his mother or brother were in danger he would do whatever it took to protect them. 

When at his day job, with Lady Helene, Angus is a quiet, polite young man, whose good nature is evident in his actions. He goes out of his way to make sure the lady of the house is well cared for, and he often does small things for the other servants as well.

SELF IMAGE: Angus thinks of himself as a good person, although he sometimes feels like his gramarye is a curse. He has to choose his words very carefully in most situations.
REPUTATION: Angus is known to most as an extremely quiet and polite young man. 
Inside the court, Angus is known for being kind to new recruits, and for never straying far from his brother Darragh.

HISTORY:
Angus and Darragh were both born in Teronna, prior to the death of the queen and the initiation of the Wardens. Their father was killed in the early conflict, and their mother fled with her sons to Tresteria. She became a household servant, and raised her boys to do the same kind of work. Money was scarce, so when the Rogue Court offered the boys a way to earn enough money to keep the three of them fed and clothed, they didn't hesitate. 

Angus prefers to stay close to his brother whenever possible, and always has--growing up as servants and Rogues, the two of them were nearly inseparable. Angus relies on his brother to be somewhat the opposite of a conscience--he needs his brother's ability to lie to protect them in difficult situations. 

In the court currently, Angus manages several pawns with little squads of apprentices of their own. He helps them ensure that the young ones are properly managed and that things are handled well.
