General Notes

Bodhe was a noble of medieval Scotland. He was an ally of MacBeth's
father, Lord Findlaech of Moray, and the father of Gruoch. Bodhe was
present on the tragic night in AD 1020 when Findlaech was slain by
Gillecomgain, the original Hunter, watching but afraid to help.
Years later, in 1032, Bodhe was forced byPrince Duncan to marry Gruoch
off to Gillecomgain, despite the fact that he knew of the love MacBeth
and his daughter shared. He did this because he knewthat, if he did not,
Duncan would probably have him executed for high treason, and things
would be even worse for Gruoch. Thus, when Gillecomgain met his
well-deserved end, and Gruoch and MacBeth could marry, Bodhe was ecstatic.
When MacBeth was forced to battle Duncan in 1040, Bodhe served as one of
his advisors. After Duncan's death, he gave some rather dishonorable but
practical advice regarding the late king's son, Canmore- "He will be
trouble- slay him now." MacBeth, however, did not take his advice or heed
the warning therein, which would be his undoing.
By AD 1057, Bodhe was a very elderly man, but hestill served as an
advisor to the King MacBeth. Canmore, banished to England17 years
earlier, now returned with English troops, bent on overthrowing MacBeth
and destroying his "evil" gargoyle allies. Bodhe believed the English
were solely after the gargoyles, and showed his cowardly nature by
suggestingthey forswear the clan to them. This, he believed, would leave
Canmore without support. While MacBeth did not agree with this, Demona
believed he would, and led her clan to abandon him for Canmore.
MacBeth's kingdom collapsed, but Bodhe still survived, crowning Prince
Luach king when his father "died." Whathappened to Bodhe after that is
unknown, but he surely died soon afterwards.
Powers, Abilities, and Weaknesses:
Bodhe was not a major warrior, although he did have some skill in
archery. He was a good advisor and a competent strategist, able to assist
MacBeth well. However, he had a strong streak of self-preservation,
enough even to sacrifice others to save his own skin.
