Garth Goscelin

Garth Goscelin (722 - Present), formerly Guard Captain Goscelin, is a Faramondian commander in the War of the South Lake. He is a retired captain of the Faramondian royal guard.
== Background ==
Goscelin boasts several decades of experience in military affairs, often advising the King on such matters during his time as a Guard Captain. He retired seven years ago, at the age of thirty-five with a pension granted by the King, and took up residence in Fallholt.
== War of the South Lake ==
Once the War of the South Lake began, Scanbroughan forces swiftly occupied Goscelin's home of Fallholt, though Goscelin himself managed to escape. He gathered several of the town rangers, who also escaped, and travelled to Goldenleaf to repeat this action.
Goscelin and his band, now around a dozen strong, had a run-in with the light cavalry detachment posted to guard Faramond Keep while travelling to Windmere. They suffered light losses repelling the cavalrymen and relocated to eastern Gabrainn, always increasing in size as more Gabrain and Faramondian men-at-arms joined the band.
Hearing of the Allied invasion of Dunfleasel, Goscelin directed his force to Limebridge, expecting to find a small detachment there to occupy the town. He was correct in his assumption, and his forces ambushed and annihilated the Allied force half a league from the town.
Rolling on the high morale from his victory, Goscelin judged that his force of around five thousand could drive back the cavalrymen guarding Faramond Keep. Though he did not expect the two hundred cavalrymen to have been reinforced by Cont Bellevue's three thousand men, he still handily defeated them in the Second Battle of Faramond Keep with assistance from the city garrison and royal army, who sallied out during the battle.
Currently Garth Goscelin is at the head of the Faramondian royal army as well as several thousand Gabrain men-at-arms and ridires. As the Allied army is heading to Rolimar to repel the combined League army, Goscelin is trailing them to cut off any retreat.
