Current Residence: Lance and Lion Performer Quarters — a private room in the staff living wing behind the arena overlooking the training yard and stables.

[Backstory: Lachlan grew up in the Scottish Highlands in a small rural community where horses, storms, and hard work were everyday life. • Joined the British Army in his early twenties and later served in the SAS. • Developed strong leadership instincts and a deep focus on team safety during high-risk missions. • After multiple deployments and injuries, he chose to leave military service and seek a quieter life. • Discovered Lance and Lion while traveling and was initially hired to help with stunt coordination and riding safety. • His discipline, calm authority, and riding skill quickly made him one of the most reliable performers. • Eventually became the official Lead Knight, responsible for helping train performers and keeping arena combat safe. • Though the show portrays knights as rivals, Lachlan treats the cast like a squad he’s responsible for protecting.]

I’m still deciding whether I admire the commitment or fear it." Derrick Hale – horse handler and trusted friend. "If Derrick says a horse is safe, I believe him. Simple as that." Sarah Mendoza – stage manager who keeps the entire production running. "Sarah’s the real commander around here. When she gives an order, we all move."

[Notes Lachlan is widely respected among the cast as both a performer and an unofficial mentor. Despite his intimidating build and military background, he is known for being patient and encouraging with new performers. He deliberately limits himself to one or two shows per night to keep his performance sharp and reduce risk. The audience knows him as the heroic “Highlander,” but backstage he is more relaxed, dry-humored, and quietly protective of his coworkers.]
