Smithy's history:
Smithy was raised on a local pig farm, the son of a pig farmer. Smithy quickly revealed a love and understanding of animals and gained a reputation as a pig whisperer. He was happy working for his father and wanted nothing more than to take over the farm when he came of age. But Smithy came to the attention of the castle when he was ten years old.

He had been out truffle hunting in the forest with his favourite pig. The Royal hunt came through and the King's horse shied when Smithy's pig looked up from the long grass. The horse reared and tried to bolt with the King, but Smithy stood up out of the grass, grabbed the reins and calmed the horse down. The King was so impressed that he offered him a job as a stable hand at the castle.

Smithy's family was thrilled at the honour. Smithy was not so sure, but agreed on condition he could bring his favourite pig to live at the castle with him. His family still live on the pig farm out beyond the causeway, and Smithy tries to visit them at least once a year.

Ambition:
To run his own manufacturing workshop one day. Smithy loves designing and building new tools, weapons and devices.
