Roger Scabcoat

Roger Scabcoat is an antagonist in Stronghold 3.
==Character==
Scabcoat is a warlord and the descendant of Duc de Puce. He is the eldest out of the Rat's three sons: his two brothers are Greytail and Silverback.
Akin to his lineage, Roger Scabcoat is a crude and greedy person. His sole interest is to fuel his own coffers and building his empire through sheer power. Despite his ambitions, he is a militarily inept leader, as his attempts to resolve battles prove fruitless. Scabcoat's simplistic and cowardly ways to make use of the weak deters people from his cause, yet his ability to cause turmoil won the Wolf's favour of allying with him.
== Biography ==
===Return of the Wolf===
Ten years after the First War, Duc Volpe mysteriously emerges from the shadows to take his revenge on the Boy after his mutilation. The Wolf builds an alliance with the sons of Duc de Puce and Duc Truffe, wreaking havoc throughout the country. Scabcoat exerts influence over the Iron Mountains, an area rich in various ores.
Roger Scabcoat initiates a skirmish on the Iron Duke, an independent ruler, in order to gain control over his iron forges, a source of quality weapons and armour. While the Iron Duke is busy working on a contract and with his army ill-equipped, Scabcoat's imminent attack seems to seal the deal.
In the meantime, The Boy arrives with Blackstaff on his side in an attempt to seek the Iron Duke's aid. Beknownst that the Duke's supply is essential, the Boy agrees on defending the Duke's forges in return for metal equipment and the schematics for forging maces. Although Scabcoat tries to wear down and capture the estates, the Boy manages to hold out long enough to create a healthy supply. Seeing his failure, Scabcoat returns to the safety of his castle.
After the defeat of his brethren, the Boy marches against the Ratlings and lays siege on all three of them at home. While the Boy's victory is sweeping, the Rats escape with their life unscathed. Blackstaff is immediately sent after them to deal with them.
===Blackstaff's Campaign===
Scabcoat and his brothers escape by ship to another safe haven, Greyshore Island, where the Brotherhood reigns supreme through terror. Blackstaff goes after them and gains a foothold, as well as the support of the local populace. It turns out that the organization and the Rats are working together, with the latter helping their deeds in return for military support.
After Silverback's failure to erase Blackstaff's influence and subsequent capture in his own castle, the remaining Rats send an ultimatum to Blackstaff, demanding Silverback's release for Blackstaff's amnesty. With the ultimatum rejected, Scabcoat together with the Brotherhood and Greytail marches to retake Silverback's castle. With effort, the siege fails and both Rats are to retreat to the heart of the Brotherhood's lands.
It is not long before Blackstaff initiates a counter-siege on them. Beating back numerous attacks, Blackstaff proves victorious, as he captures the Ratlings one by one. The Brotherhood's leadership: the Archbishop and his marshal are also removed from power, however they are set free with their lives, while the Rats remain in captivity.
