A knight in service to a lordly family - as the horses reorder themselves in the fashion of their dead masters.

He serves young lordling Litany, primarily, though by legal accounts he is sworn to the service of his sire, The Old Lord.

Though Litany is an adult, attempts to convince his sire to let him delve the dungeons so far fall on deaf ears - so Shield goes instead, a shield always strapped to his back, recording and hunting out findings to return to Litany with.
