Boris has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Relentless.

If the boris takes 10 damage or less that would reduce it to 0 Hit Points, it is reduced to 1 hit point instead.

Savage Attacks.

On a critical hit, Boris can roll an additional damage die and add it to the extra crit damage.

Actions

Multiattack. Boris makes two melee attacks.
Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage.
Heavy Crossbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, range 100/400 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d10) piercing damage.
Leadership (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest).

For 1 minute, the knight can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that it can see within 30 ft. of it makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand the knight. A creature can benefit from only one Leadership die at a time. This effect ends if the knight is incapacitated.

Reactions

Parry. The knight adds 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the knight must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

Boris

I recognize this poor sod. He came through, but didn't want to wait for a guide up the mountain. Looks like he'll freeze to death any minute.

A half-orc who was once a soldier, but resigned to try and save his sister from illness.
