Tribesman in an epic tale (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pict

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tribesman' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'in an epic tale' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'PICT' can be found hidden inside 'epic tale'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pict that I've seen before include "Northerner" , "Literary term for painted woman" , "N. British tribesman" , "Scotsman" , "Old Scot" .)
