Xion Snow
Viscount Xion Snow Esq., wanderer of multiple Kingdoms
Biography
Xion joined Amtgard in October 2015 in the Kingdom of Neverwinter. He is very service oriented, having taught classes and cratted in many Kingdoms, and helping with inter-Kingdom and International level events. He has also attained recognition in most other areas of interest in Amtgard; having placed in and won both martial and A&S tournaments at various levels (including a Kingdom Dragonmaster) and having been recognized for battlefield prowess. To date he has been a crat in 8 Kingdoms and taught in at least 4, although several of the classes were recorded and shared publicly, likely bringing that number up significantly.
Xion mundanely has Engineering and I.T. degrees, as well as being a published author. This I.T. experience leads to being a moderator/admin for various discords, facebook groups, and other platforms, including the AmtWiki. He has over 15 years of experience in different nonprofit organizations; chiefly Kiwanis International and FIRST. He has skill in various artistic mediums and is always willing to help teach others or make connections if somebody wants to continue their path past what he can teach.
