Bunduk is a Rhodok crossbowman and one of the heroes in Mount&Blade: Warband.

Biography

Bunduk was born near Jelkala. He is a veteran Rhodok soldier who was garrisoned in a town for 20 years until he had a conflict with a newly appointed commander, who was a young noble. When Bunduk unstrung his crossbow due to rain, the commander viewed it as dereliction of duty and had him horsewhipped. He soon deserted his post and got drunk in a nearby tavern, using the money he stole from the captain, until he met the player who can offer him employment.

Personality

Loyal and righteous in the laws of military. He has some dislike toward the noble bloods who tend to abuse their power, especially when they are in high positions. He still has his hatred to the blue-blooded nobles because of their punishments with no causes towards the common folk and would always give thought about equality of justice between all people. He also thinks for those lesser than him, for the sake of their lives, like children.

He admires people who continue to show off great results in battles even in an old age and would also like to teach people who are younger than him about battles and such. In certain times of battle, he doesn’t like people forcing him to do things unless he respects them and has a loathing towards people who even act as royal blood even though they are not really one to begin with. He is also rational in terms of rewards from battle and doesn’t take lightly on having petty rewards like poems and songs. He has extreme concerns to those who are poor and would never take advantage of them.

Relationships

• Katrin - He likes Katrin as she is one of the few old people he's able to get along with, she is also a veteran as he is.
• Lezalit - Bunduk hates Lezalit, not just because of his noble blood, but also his strictness in the battlefield, as Lezalit kept ordering him around and threatening to flog Bunduk. This led to Bunduk wishing he could kill Lezalit.
• Rolf - While he already hates nobles, he hates Rolf even more intensely, as Rolf is only a bandit pretending to be noble. To Bunduk, it was intolerable for a bad person becoming even worse by claiming nobility.

Gameplay

While initially armed with a crossbow, Bunduk can be turned to any role, as he is fairly proficient with all weapons and has some skill in riding, trainer, and first aid as well. Recruiting Bunduk costs 200 denars and his initial level is 9, which can make him somewhat slower to train, but helps him raise troops in the player's party.

In Warband, should he be offered a fief and a lordly title, he will accept the fief, but demand that he be called Tribune Bunduk. Giving Bunduk a fief may cause a decrease in the player's relation with some of the nobility. If elevated to lordship, Bunduk will recruit Rhodok soldiers to fight for him and man his fiefs.
