Sir William Wallace

Basics:
William Wallace (c. 1272-76 – 1305) was a Scottish knight, landowner, and patriot who is known for leading a resistance during the Wars of Scottish Independence. He defeated an English army at Stirling and became Guardian of Scotland, serving until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk. After several years in hiding, Wallace was eventually found in Scotland and handed over to Longshanks, Edward I of England, who had him executed for treason.
Pros:
Able to protect you in a fight
Loyal to friends, family, and country
National hero
Has a Scottish accent
Looks like this in the movies:
Cons:
Doesn't take a lot of baths
Gets bloody a lot
Always on the run from the law
Dies a horribly gruesome death (and you might too)
No AC, electricity, or indoor plumbing in the 1200s
