====== Archibald Cooney ====== Archibald Cooney was a former assassin who was given refuge and political asylum by the [[followship|Followship of the Hound]] in exchange for serving them, agreed to for the sake of his infant daughter [[Robynn]] who is growing up far from home under the protection of the order. Archibald got his start as a private in the [[Juntandria]] army where he quickly became an expert marksman who was often called on to make difficult shots in a pinch. He became disillusioned and left the service to become a mercenary for hire, first running with the [[devils_own|Devil's Own]] and later working as a freelance "hired arrow" across the continent of [[Radavan]]. He was eventually hired on as an agent of [[william_odonaill|William Ó Dónaill]]. Reminded of his own daughter [[Robynn]], and of himself to an extent, Archibald vouched for [[Bo]]. Half of the circle of inquisitors that lead the Followship were (and still are) doubtful of Bo’s abilities, citing that she was too old for training. Archibald challenged them on this notion, asking that she be given a chance. The chance was granted on the condition that it was he who trained her.
