Mungo Munro

Major Mungo Munro is a supporting character in the third season of the Sharpe television series.
He was portrayed by Hugh Ross.
==Biography==
Mungo Munro was a British intelligence officer in Lord Wellington's army, acquainted with Major Richard Sharpe with whom he had a somewhat tense relationship. He helped arrange for the delivery of rifles to Spanish partisan El Casco in exchange for returning British deserters. He had heard rumours of El Casco's barbaric Aztec practices but left Sharpe to handle things while he delivered information on French movements to Wellington.
When the Real Irlandesa Compania, a group of Irish exiles serving the Spanish, joined up with the British army, Munro and Wellington were both suspicious of them so assigned Sharpe to train them, largely hoping they would desert. Sharpe disapproved of the plan and ended up leading them into defeating Brigadier-General Guy Loup and covering up the fact they had nearly abandoned him and his men thanks to Loup's manipulation.
Munro warned Sharpe about Colonel Leroux, a French officer hunting the allied spy El Mirador. He declined to tell Sharpe El Mirador's true identity (the Irish priest Father Curtis). Munro provided Sharpe with a cannon with which to attack Villafranca, the fortress where Leroux had taken refuge, and was present for the attack and Sharpe's subsequent duel with Leroux.
