Ancient Pistol
Ancient Pistol is a braggart soldier who is full of hot air. He boasts about his fighting prowess, but he is actually a coward. He is introduced in Henry IV, Part 2 and reappears in The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry V. His first name is never given, and he is referred to as Falstaff's "ancient", meaning "ensign", or standard bearer.
