Biography
Kieran began playing Amtgard in early 2016. He discovered the game via a series facebook posts made by Devry on other LARP pages, and was most active before covid.
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 usually takes 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
That Big Monster Quest
In 2018, Kieran embarked on a quest to play every battle-game monster in the Dor Un Avathar. This took more than four years. On October 1st 2022 at NLCC: Kieran finally completed this quest. To date, Kieran is the only player from any kingdom, known to have played every v8 battlegame monster.
