Louis
Louis is the squire assigned to Sir Daniele to provide him with an appropriate retainer for his station. In actuality, he is much closer to notion of a martial warrior than Daniele is. He also competes with Daniele for attracting attention from ladies; Louis is much more successful in this endeavour, however, attracting attention when Daniele would be scorned and ignored.
Due to his satyr blood, he is hairier than even many Normans are -- it also is the cause and reason for his lusty personality and success with women. (And occasionally men, were he so inclined. Venus' Blessing works that way sometimes.)
After the summer of 1228, Ser Louis was knighted for his meritorious service upon the field of battle in support of King Llewellyn the Great by Lady Angharad. Since then, he has taken place in her court as her Champion given his martial prowess. This has led to attempts to have him married, but he has so far staved off such suggestions. He is the quintessential bachelor knight, and he is comfortable with his lot in life.
