Biography
Kieran was a player who was active from the summer of 2016 until the summer of 2024. He discovered the game via a series facebook posts made by Sir Devry on other LARP pages. Having since moved on to other hobbies, Kieran is not very active within Amtgard anymore.
Persona
Kieran's character was a Shapeshifter from the island of Vesuva (from Magic: The Gathering lore). It was an audacious impostor who delighted in eating/absorbing its prey before stealing their identity. It loved exploring all the shapes and modalities of life, sometimes stealing several identities in a single day, rarely wearing the same skin twice.
Thievery
Kieran has been known to render players nameless, using fae magic to steal their persona names and titles. Stolen names are ransomed back to their namesakes, or resold to the highest-bidder.
Volrath
Volrath is a small, highly intelligent Mimic who accompanies Lord Kieran on his adventures. Volrath exists in the form of a golden lord's coronet covered in eyeballs, and rides atop Kieran's head, whispering crazy ideas in Kieran's ear.
Notable Accomplishments
