Barbarister the Incredible Horse
Magical. Intelligent. Arrogant. Vain. He can also talk. If you can persuade him to care, Barbarister occasionally adds +2 to a Wretched Royalty's Presence tests involving logic and intellect. The horse may be smarter than you. The horse knows this.
He arrived in the royal stables one morning, already named, already disdainful, already too proud to graze. The previous head groom hanged himself within the month.

Gaps / Expansion Notes
Where Barbarister came from is unwritten. His shape is horse but his soul is something else — old, lettered, contemptuous. A wizard's familiar untethered? A bound noble cursed? The horse is not stat-blocked.
