I have an idea for a character: Basically a pikeman from one of those towns still left standing. He'd be rather condescending to nomads and tribespeople/cavepersons, but not to the point of arrogance. He just can't understand nor connect with them as there would be more differences than similarities between him and them. He's also supposed to be middle-aged, straddling the line between being young/ignorant and being experienced/wise. In other words, he'd be wise and experienced in his own way but bigoted and ignorant in his own ways too.

In combat, since he handles a pike, he's used to being defensive and letting the enemy come to him. His good armour helps with that too. However, if you tell him to charge and try to break the enemy... Well... He could try but will flee if things go bad. He'd have a short sword for backup but that's it really.
