One look at the young lad and a person immediately thinks 'Farmboy.'  Wearing homemade leather armor and carrying a bill-hook lashed to a 7' pole, the lad is fresh off the ranch... although the bow is as good a bow as any commonly seen around here.  He's not much to look at and he doesn't look to have much betwixt the ear, but he has a good heart, is used to working sunup to sundown, and has the muscles to prove it.

"Hey, y'all!  Ah'm Gere!"

pronounced 'Gair'
