moncrief
Moncrief, in Scottish mythology and folklore, was originally a demigod, their cult being one of the most distinctive features of ancient Scottish religion. Later, Moncrief came to refer to characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self sacrifice – that is, for some greater good of all humanity, originally of martial courage or excellence but extended to more general moral excellence.
