I don't think you hired him, I think you just had to do a few things for him before he'd join you. He was the Hero of Skill in Fable 2, that much I can remember. He was a total douche xD.. He is in the third game too though, you know. He didn't actually fight or anything in that one, but he did have a fairly large role. I think he was like.. The head industry guy, or something.
But yeah, I'll play one of his sons. Gonna get to writing up his description shortly, and I'll probably draw him, and a picture of my friend's character a while after we make them.
