Sir Montague appears in The Burning Bridge. He is a "fop" from several characters' point of view; he takes great measures to ensure that his physical appearance is noticed and awed by others. To fit this description, he wears a gold satin shirt and a powdered wig. He is the lord of Cobram Keep, a tiny castle on the borders of Redmont Fief, yet refuses to ally to the fief. Alyss, escorted by Halt, is sent there on her first diplomatic mission in an attempt to convince Montague to supply Castle Redmont with soldiers in the upcoming war against Morgarath.
