History
John Crayford is a veteran soldier who has risen through the ranks through talent. Now in his older age he has been rewarded with the lucrative, but somewhat thankless task of being Captain of the rich town of Albinkirk. The garrison is undermanned and ill-disciplined.

The Red Knight
Ser John Crayford allows the Red Knight and his mercenary company to pass the bridge at Albinkirk towards Lissen Carak, resenting the man's youth. Some days later, he learns of Irks from the Wild have been seen nearby, one of which is killed by a farmer. Shortly afterwards, a desperate knight called Ser Alcaeus arrives at the gates of Albinkirk, saying that his convoy has been attacked by over a hundred creatures. Boglins can now be seen from the city walls. Ser John immediately bars the gate of the town, and imposes marshal law.
