**Cormac "Mac" Darkstout**, also known as **Mac, Son of Mumford**, is a dwarven Beer Domain cleric played by Brian Murphy. He is one of Mavrus the Unskooled's boys, and a member of the Bon Frères.

## Bio

Mac sees himself as a sensitive friend, who often serves as the therapist of the group, despite being somewhat aggressive and sometimes overreacting to perceived slights. He cares a lot about being available for heart to hearts to an almost codependent degree, sometimes using his *Message* cantrip to metaphorically "pull people aside" for a talk.

He has the vibe of a hipster and is into microbrews, as well as being a bit of a brewer himself, which leads to some conflict with his family, who own a chain brewery called Mumford & Children, leading to him having been drinking beer since he was seven or eight. Mac believes that the chain's beer is too watery.

## Description

Mac is a dwarf and very compact, placing him at about 250 pounds. He has a respectable dwarven beard and also sports a fashionable twirly mustache. He has a Bon Frères tattoo.

He is a "jeans-at-the-beach kind of guy" who wears a beanie even during the summer. The jeans are usually cuffed. In addition, he wears a handmade leather choker with a bottle opener, which serves as his holy symbol. Usually, he can be found carrying a keg in the form of a vegan leather messenger bag. Mac is very passionate about being respectful of animals, but he doesn't actually care about animals, just about the proper preparation of food.

His weapon is a mace, which he was given as a member of a wedding party.
