Cerball is a quite non-descript character!
Probably not all that unusual but first time I've seen it. (There is a historical irish character who starts with poet and nought else though.)
As background I educated him personally for 10 years and had at least 4, although it could have been 5 or 6 bad traits pop but managed to get rid of them all - without gaining a single good trait. All was not lost however as he managed to get a good education in just what I needed at the time. This game I started with a highest martial skill of 8 in my court (actually my Count had slightly higher). So I invited an italian stallion who was a 15 and skilled tactician. So I was stoked when Cerball after spending his 16th birthday with my marshall turned out to be a brilliant strategist. Just what I need, a better marshall. However when I called the council to appoint him some uppity priest in the county I had just captured turned out to be even better... Never mind, it means he has commanded all my armies for the last few years. :happy:
