Requirements

NOTE: this is a level 1 retainer. They have no ride skill, Antonio has no resources nor does Lucien. All Lucien's personal wealth and that of Raetus has been spent to get their troops to Triest.

Derangement: Retainer Rage
Trigger: Any talk or mention of retainers from any source
Compulsion/Destruction: When triggered you seek out the nearest Retainer and vent your rage upon them. If there is not one near by you seek to vent your anger on the one of the people who triggered this derangement or destroy their retainer. (When it is triggered you can ask them or throw the offhand comment that they probably have one of those useless creature outside or some such.

While you possess this derangement you will keep an eye out for retainers so you can know where these useless creatures are. Try to determine if people have a retainer outside minding their horse or something. We will also try to get a list of people's retainers and where they are.

If this derangement is taken multiple times there is a chance of it eventually becoming permanent.

NOTE: Due to retainer dying and him having to replace (gone for 1 year - no cost) I am making the call that just the derangement with the 1 derangement trait and the minus 1 willpower covers all the penalties.
