Basically he got into a pretty bad accident. He showed them his scar too on his forehead.
We really have to make use of these hot guys while we can!! Action movies would be great!
To CH3 lurker, I can only dream but this is a good plot!!
If you want a fighting duo in modern or period form, there’s a terrific book called “A Wife to Winterman”. I am still thinking/hopeful of Pope & Got in an action setting! Lots of fighting scenes in the story.
Winterman (Pope), a brave Apsaroke warrior is famous for his feats & leader of his group, The Wolves. Skins the Wolf (Got) is his best friend & leader of another gang, The Foxes. Both men grew up close since childhood & are constantly challenging each other, although Skins has a meaner streak & cruel. The maidens in the village are wild about them; Winterman is a player. On the offset, Skins has his eye on Moonhawk (Bella), an innocent girl & daughter of an elder. She does not have the guiles of the other beautiful women surrounding the braves in their village. Moonhawk pays no attention to the men, she has no wish to be in the line of lovers catering to the warriors & quite haughty when she sees them cavorting freely near her vicinity. One day the warriors returned from another successful jaunt into enemy territory & the entire village turned up at the pass to welcome them home. Moonhawk had an armful of potatoes which she & her siblings dug up that morning; she happening to be at that hilly spot in the pass above the riding warriors was a coincidence. It was an accident too, that a rotten potato she wanted to discard happened to hit Winterman’s horse & startled it; it made him fall off. The embarrassment was so great that it offended him; but when confronted, Moonhawk’s voice rang clear across the watchers that she’s a good girl who won’t waste anything on the likes of him. Winterman’s anger from here on goaded him to do many hurtful things in retaliation; leading up to the shame & near banishment of her family from the village. Then something happened during a hunt; Moonhawk’s dad saved Winterman’s life. He was grateful & said he didn’t mean for things to go that far; for what he had done to their family – and the old man took this chance to call his shots. Cornered, the brave is asked to take Moonhawk as his wife (& shut down the gossips). He didn’t like that very much but has no choice. So the marriage went badly. But in the wings is Skins the Wolf, ready to make his move.
