That should be it, but that's rather expensive for such an old book.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

I am very curious as to how you got all that equipment with only 20gp. The breastplate alone would cost 70, the helmet 30. Even poor quality would reduce the total cost to 50.... nevermind the other stuff you have... or the skills and talents you have that are not in the Camp Follower class' advance scheme....

Remember, you start with all the skills and talents in the career's advance scheme (except for where it asks you to make a choice, IE skill 1 OR skill 2), and you get one free advance (+5%) from the advances you have access to in the stats section.

Background
Spoiler:
Leopold grew up in a fairly pious household in a small farming village. His parents had a decent plot of land, but only had enough land to support their family and not much extra for the market, so he grew up poor, but happy. As a teenager, he fell in love with the miller's daughter, Theodora. At first, she discouraged his advances, but she eventually fell for him as well.
After marrying, the two lovers purchased a small plot of land on the edge of town. After a few years, their farm was running smoothly enough that they were able to expand a bit and opened up a bakery. Theodora took care of the baking and Leopold managed the farm. Her sweet cakes because famous throughout the region, and their fortunes continued to grow.
However, the one blessing they were missing was a child. Leopold would pray to Shallya daily, but she didn't see fit to bless them with their desire. He worried and worried, but Theodora would calm him, telling him "Shallya will bless us when she wills it. Be patient."
Just as he started to give up hope, they got pregnant. Leopold was overjoyed. However, by the end of the first trimester, something was clearly wrong. Theodora was in constant pain and very sick. Leopold redoubled his prayers to Shallya, often times spending days straight in prayer. But, it was no use; both mother and child passed a few months later.
Leopold was inconsolable. He lashed out at his friends and family, and eventually even the gods. He turned to drink to sooth him, forsaking all else. The farm and business quickly deteriorated and he was forced to sell all his possessions to keep himself in a constant stupor.
When the last of his savings were exhausted, Leopold was forced to travel into the city and look for work. He wasn't good at much, and spending most of his time at the local taverns, he fell in with a rough crowd. He discovered that the best way to ease his pain is to inflict it on others.
Now, he spends his days looking for trouble, and fighting for the highest bidder. His favorite work is smashing heads, but he'll take any job that pays well. He has some recurring work collecting debts for the local loan sharks, but most of his work is freelance. You can typically find him in a tavern, but now he spends more time looking for work than drinking.

Fixed.
Also: I added a background. It went a lot darker than I first meant it to. Alph, let me know if I should lighten it up... I'm not sure how grimdark you run your games.
My character is also rather tough, with almost the same armor (mail shirt and leather jack) as well as a toughness bonus of 4.
And you can hide behind her horse too!
