Simon de Montfort emerged as a prominent noble among the Fourth Crusade's leaders, his military reputation preceding him among the assembled prelates and barons. His zeal for the crusade cause marked him among the faithful, though he would later depart the camp before its spiritual consequences unfolded. He became known as a scourge of the Albigeois in subsequent campaigns.

Description

A nobleman of military bearing with fair skin and short dark hair, his features weathered by years of campaigning. He wears chainmail armor beneath a surcoat displaying his family heraldry, his build strong and athletic. His presence commands attention with the quiet authority of a seasoned crusader.
