**Donald of Sattercone** (or also known as Sir Donald of Sattercone) was an Irish widgae born sometime in the 17th century. He was the first known member of the McDonald family, having his descendants be named after him. He was an only child and was raised as an orphan, eventually becoming a knight and rebel in the 17th century against English invaders/settlers.

## Biography

Donald was born sometime in the 17th century in Connacht, Ireland. He was raised as an orphan but grew as a servant's boy for a local duke. After the duke failed to have male children, Donald was adopted by the duke as a bastard where the duke trained him in fighting, archery, diplomatic relations and battle skills. Unbeknownst to the duke, Donald was a clear-widgae with strong pyrokinesis abilities. Upon returning from a battlefield where he managed to burn down the enemies main wall of defense, the duke awarded Donald the title as 'Watchman of Sattercone' (later just Donald of Sattercone).

Upon winning this title, Donald travelled around Connacht rallying other clans to fight against the English invaders. During his time travelling, Donald grew knowledge of the widgae world and customs; eventually discovering his parents were widgaes that were burned at the stake, Donald was later transferred to a nil-widgae uncle (the duke). Angered at being mistreated by his own uncle and blinded of the knowledge around his parents, Donald later returned and had the duke temporarily imprisoned. However, seeing as they were family, Donald refused to have the duke executed and later placed the duke back in charge of Sattercone. Donald quit his duties at the Castle and later attempted to join the widgae world to find his paternal family. With no luck, Donald suffered from dehydration and almost died in a forest. There, he was healed back to health by 'Dona' who caught his eye upon waking.

Initially Dona refused Donald's advances due to the mystery surrounding him, but upon learning of his title and uncle, Dona fell in love with the man and his stories. With her parents refusing marriage, Dona ran away to marry Donald by a waterfall. The two married but due to the widgae rules of no marrying a nil-widgae, Donald and Dona crafted a new castle in Connacht where Dona stayed permanently hidden from both the widgae and nil-widgae worlds, whilst Donald traveled outside the castle grounds for battle. In the end, both Donald and Dona died in the castle.

Interestingly, the stories surrounding their deaths interchange with each McDonald family member. Some members proclaim they died of old age, whilst other members say they were poisoned, beheaded or burned at the stake by Dona's parents or they were both driven to insanity and killed each other. It is unknown how many children the pair had, but it is presumed they had around 5-10 due to the family's history of having a large amount of children/siblings.

## Behind the scenes

* Donald's storyline follows a similar one to Othello or Romeo in Shakespeare.
* Donald was the first known member of the McDonald family, though due to his father's surname being unknown the family could be just a branch of a more ancient widgae family tree.
* Donald's mother was atleast a half-widgae due to her brother being a nil-widgae duke.
* Donald's only revealed power is pyrokinesis that managed to "burn down the enemies main wall of defense", but no members of the storyline show a similar power of fire.
* Donald's name is a recurring first/middle name for male members of the McDonald family, proving his existence among the generations.
