I always wonder about the story behind oddities like this. Was he buff, and it a pun? Or was it his nickname for an unrelated reason? Or did he just dig mice?
In all cases, it’s an odd little humanizing piece of the past!
The neck brim looks like it adds an ungodly amount of weight without much utility.
The flaring-out preserves range of neck movement while still protecting the neck, one of the easiest fleshy bits to get nicked and die from. All armor is made of compromises - usually uncomfortable ones! The cheekguards, missing on this helmet, would give a little more neck coverage from a cutting blade in tandem with the neck brim, leaving only a relatively narrow exposed bit that can be stabbed into.
Don’t skip neck day!
