Introduction
I'm Kaspar Meerschweinchen (the last name means "little ocean pig") and I'm part of House Weissraben. I am Lord Julian's junior servingman and footman, and I have been in service to him for three years now.
Persona
I was born into poverty and squalor as one of a large peasant family somewhere in Germany. I was frail and crippled and almost died several times as a child; my family did not know what to do with me, as I never became strong enough to scrape out a living from farm labor. Eventually war struck our area and half my village was killed, including my entire family who were burned to death in our wattle-and-daub cottage. I survived only because I was fishing at a nearby lake and not actually home. A roving band of Landsknecht mercenaries - to this day I do not know if they were the ones who set fire to our village or not - found me wandering and weeping, and Hauptmann Julian fed me a pot of gruel and took me on as a servant. I washed clothes and stirred pots for two years, until he retired and settled in Nuremburg, at which point I was brought home with him and added to the household. I now have my own bed and clean clothes and good food, the best I've had in my life, and I am grateful. I care for the sheep and do chores around the house, and follow him about when we are traveling to fetch his chair and drink.
I am a devout Christian, although I'm often not sure whether I am following Papist or Protestant worship, but I don't care. I've been to pilgrimage places while I was traveling with the company, and I now have a collection of badges on my hat.
