Jean-de-Dieu MacSoult

Jean-de-Dieu MacSoult maintained throughout his life, that had played a major role in the Peninsular Campaign. Of course, this was an easily proposed claim hard to substantiate, with Scotland being one of the countries in the world with the largest number of peninsulas – even without counting those in the Hebrides. In the course of his military career, he is mostly remembered for the famous quote: “Mon Dieu! Je me rends” as well as his common greeting to a stubby Corsican acquaintance he once had: “Je sais, que votre mère est tres poliue, mon ami!”. His namesake, the illegitimate son of his great-great-grand-niece follows in the footsteps of his well-known relative in terms of coining popular phrases. He is known to have exclaimed: “Lâche-moi, Crétin!”, as the bailiff dragged him away during his last sentencing. This is likely a garbled quote, as he was from Inverness and would likely have yelled “Lâche-moi, Imbécile!”, which is more consistent with his local dialect. Out on parole, he is now ready to herd some sheep and step onto the Blood Bowl pitch to handle the doe-skin covered inflated pigs bladder – or as we professionals refer to it: The ball.
