They're called "Kilts." They're hired thugs from the North (like Vikings, or
possibly Highlanders?) I also could care less for Costner, but RH: PofT is
one of my favorite movies of all time!

If memory serves me right, those were supposed to be Celts. I was not very
happy with their portrayal.

Ahh, Celts! Now it makes sense (light bulb above head) All these years I
thought they were making fun of Scots, but instead they were just doing a bad
portrayal of Celts. Thanks for the clarification.

Here is how I've come to think of the three aforementioned legovillians:
First of all, have you seen Robin Hood Prince of Theves (1)? Well if you
have, mentally jump to the scene where The "Forest People" (Robin Hood,
etc.) are being attacked by the Sherif of Nottingham and the wierd,
animalistic-like people he hired to help (forget their names).
It's those very same animalistic-like peoples I've recapitulated to
characterize my boyz (wolfpack... <g>)... As for FM and DF, I'd say they're
the equivalent of Robin Hood & Co. in that same movie...
Cordially,

They were supposed to be Celts? Wow... I stand corrected.
Hmm...
Never the less, they are the closest thing to how I see Wolfpack I can think
of... Except the name, of course.
Apologetically,

No, they might be called "Celts"
(if they're supposed to be Celtic warriors).
If they're Scotsmen,
then they *wear* "kilts"....

Only vaguely. Scots are much more Pictish, really. No self-respecting Celt
is going to strip down and cover himself in blue paint before battle. ;)
If you're looking for Celts(1), you should be looking in Ireland and Wales.
That being said, there's been so much intermingling in that region that
everyone is a bit of everything.

The celts were stripping down to their bare shield back when they were
terrorizing early Rome. I forget whether they were into woad at that time, but
I'll check my books when I get home. I think they were, but celts wander in
and out of so many places - Galatia, Greece, Italy, Briton, etc. - I tend to
confuse one era with another sometimes.

Heck, they even took over the city of Rome! However, that only lasted one day.
Wait a minute... maybe that was the Visigoths.
Err... any history majors with a better memory than mine?

The Visigoths did a leisurely pillage of Rome over two weeks.

No, no. The Scottish are of Pictish decent, as well as Germanic. The Celts
are niether Scottish or Pictish.

No problem, man. Don't beat yourself up over it. I just had some bad info,
and you righted it. Nothing wrong with that. The sad thing is, my great
grandfather is Scottish...sorry Grandpa <looks at sky and cowers>
