Merdue’s first adventure was to the Rectory, where he slew a ghoul (after Balnor the Lesser threw a magic missle at it). He then pulled an even more miraculous feat in actually surviving the adventure. He was immediately offer a full-time position from Hoftar.

He’s also a glory hound, so he’s got a bonus to morale but might not listen to Hoftar if he asks him to not attack something.

He fancies himself the hero of St. Ashtonberryburg, the hamlet he’s from in the Shieldlands. He’ll use this in his warcrys.
