Biography

Smiley's Heraldry

Smiley Started playing Amtgard in October of 1997 in Dark Oasis when Van the Ruthless challenged him to come out and fight, and has been playing ever since. He is known for playing Warrior and little else when it comes to classes. He has been able to travel to six of the kingdoms in the Amtworld. Using the name Cervantes was something that never stuck, as a teenager, he wanted to be a loud standout and thus wore smiley faces on all of his garb. You may know him better as Smiley (thank you Turanko), He has also gone by Havok and Alex as persona names, (none of which stuck). He has been paged to Sir Archamedies while she was a Squire to Nakita, Man-at-arms to Squire Denavis (who was squired to Quicksilver), was Man-at-Arms to Rothgar for a very short time (who was Squired to Sir Hern) and was Squired to Sir Bearrug before his own knighting. He is a real-life Minister and enjoys his free time in Amtgard.

Persona Information

Marshal's File #115316
Born in the harsh outskirts of Dark Oasis a military outpost to protect the borders from an invasion that may come from Dragonspine. Cervantes' Personal Colors are Gray and Yellow. He is a Half-Elf who passes as a Human more often than not. Rumors abound that Cervantes may be a Lycanthrope. There has been one town drunkard that tells of a time when he saw Cervantes change into a White Tiger, however, this isn't the first outlandish story the drunk has made. There is no evidence to prove any such claims. Cervantes grew up in a harsh world with little guidance. He would sail the oceans to get away from the world. He eventually turned to pirating and Captained the ship the Blue Spirit. However, he would eventually come home and fight for the Golden Plains and serve Dark Oasis which eventually lead to Him being granted nobility and Land. He at one time served as the Kingdom of the Golden Plains Prime Minister under King Darken then under King Monkey to be followed by King Bearrug and last serving under King Otto VonMuller. Rumor has it the King picked Cervantes to be Prime Minister due to some treasure he gave the King from his pirating days. With his move to the Emerald Hills, it is apparent this individual should be further investigated.
