Vidal
Vidal is a soldier born and bred. His father was a soldier, as was his father before him. So it was only natural that he would strap on the sword almost from the time he could walk.
If only he liked fighting. When he told his father that he didn't think the soldier's life was for him, his father quickly beat such nonsense out of his head. While Vidal is an adequate swordsman, he is much better at trying to avoid a fight (with a combination of Guile, Charm, and Intrigue).
Many years ago, he signed up with the Almogavars, winding up in the Vibria Company, Gold Griffin Division, and has worked his way up the ranks. While he hasn't exactly distinguished himself in the field of battle with his martial prowess, he has shown the ability (and willingness) to shoulder the burdens of leadership, becoming effectively a Corporal in the company. He fancies himself a future Captain of the Guard (if not a general somewhere), but is careful not to let his superiors know that.

Guy
Guy de Coutances is, or was, a minor noble from Normandy. Fair of face, graceful, and beautiful to behold, he quickly became a favorite of the women. Unfortunately, he adhered strictly to the tenets of Chivalry, and would not take any them to his bed, although he would often grace them with a blinding smile and charming words. This would prove to be his undoing, however. About two and a half years ago, while visiting one of his family's liege lords, the lady of the manor practically ripped her clothes off and threw herself at him in his chambers. When he rebuffed her advance, she fled and had him falsely accused of trying to rape her. Given Guy's reputation and popularity, the lord felt he could not have him killed on the spot. He did, however, strip him of his title and banished him from Normandy, with his life forfeit should he ever return.
Guy wasted no time in grabbing his belongings and his horse, and immediately struck out for…somewhere. He had heard of a company of mercenaries that he felt could use his talents without questioning why he was so far from home, and wound up in Barcelona, enlisting in the Gold Griffins, where he and Vidal quickly caught each other's eyes.

Guy et Vidal
In the months since Guy joined the Gold Griffins, he and Vidal have become bosom bodies, joined at the hip. They dine together, bathe together, share a tent, and have even been known to go to the privy together. They will almost always go on missions together (either by Vidal assigning Guy to his detail, or both volunteering).
