A Mook

Mook. a generic term for a fighter that's worth feeding in the Northern Army.
In the Marine Corps they are called "Grunts".
A Mook’s amour is not always pretty, but it is functional.
He may not look like much, but he has heart and can fight.
Not every fighter is worthy of being called a Mook, you have to earn that.
While it is a derogatory term, Mook’s take a certain pride in being a Mook.
A Mook is a guy who turns out in a soggy kit on Friday morning after 3 straight days of rain at Pennsic, after the war has been won, to give the other Mooks someone to fight, because his friends are there in the mud, because his King got up and got dressed and is there.
He’ll give you half his Power Bar, and share the last of his Gatorade.
He'll pick up your helmet when the Ambulance takes you off.
He's the guy moving hay bales for the next battle, while everyone else is in the shade.
He’s the guy gladly doing the dishes after you feed him because he ran out of food money.
He grabbed an extra 6 Pack cause he new you would forget.
He’s standing next to you in the shield wall, in the rain, with a smile on his face.
