Ossian appears as a Caledonian bard whose elegant genius preserved the memory of Fingal's victories through song. His single mention establishes him as a figure of literary and cultural significance, the keeper of ancient heroic traditions.
Description
A middle-aged Caledonian bard with fair skin and auburn hair, wearing simple but elegant traditional garments appropriate to a Celtic poet. His bearing suggests both artistic sensitivity and the dignity of one who preserves ancient tales.
