Spades
Spades, of Northern Holdfast, Iron Mountains
Biography
Spades first stepped out of the shadows and onto an Amtgard field in 2011. Drawn to Crimson Wood by Gale StrongHammer's tales of opportunity to stab people in the back and front. Attracted most to the social aspect and combat, he was hooked. Shortly thereafter he attended Westmarch Fighter Training in Ashen Spire and learned to suck a little bit less.
Sporadically attending when he could, Spades played far less than he wished. At first due to being busy and full of excuses to eventually living in Chicago without access to a park, Spades was inactive nearly 4 years. But he would often pull out his swords when possible to fight and play with friends and family, none of whom truly got it. Eventually returning to Westmarch, Spades was elated to discover that in his absence, Aureus Saltus had formed and was growing near his new home. He jumped in and started recruiting, learning, fighting, and helping wherever he could. So much so that he entered service.
Once again, life intervened and scattered Spades to the wind. And, once again, he's found his way back to the fray. This time in the Northern Holdfast.
