Biography
Misteslaus began playing Amtgard at Clan in the summer of 1996. He chose this name on the battlefield to avoid being named something else (which shall forever go unspoken)by "The Mad Hatter" a very good friend of Zane. He and Zane founded the Shire of Darkwater West in the Kingdom of Dragonspine in Portales, New Mexico which later shared the name with Darkwater East (now in the Kingdom of Neverwinter) Both groups enjoyed their work together at opposite ends of the wormhole. Darkwater West has been reorganized as the Shire of the Shining Dogs in the Kingdom of Golden Plains.
Misteslaus moved to the Wetlands in 1999 and took up residence on Galveston Island. He has played in the now defunct Isle of the Four Dragons, Stormwall and Granite Spyre. He is actively involved in the kingdom and enjoys regular music making with his friends and squires and men at arms.
